Her father writes:
”My daughters been fighting for her life since she was struck by a car while playing in our front yard with her brother. A speeding car in our neighborhood apparently lost control and ran onto our lawn, striking my baby before she, her, brother nor I had a chance to react. Shes been fighting over 2 weeks and her prognosis isn’t positive. She still has not yet regained full consciousness. We are asking anyone who can help us to please do so. The expenses are astronomical and we have a $2500.00 deductible to satisfy before our health insurance even begins to cover their portion. This unforeseen tragedy has affected us greatly. As a single father of an 11 y/o son and 5 y/o daughter I am doing all I know to do to help my baby get the treatment she needs. i have not been able to find their mother to inform her and ask her assistance as she cut off contact when i was awarded custody of our babies. Billing statements have already started to flood my mailbox and between those and the time I’ve missed at work to be by her side, our family us in crisis. I don’t know where else to turn. Please help if you can and pray my baby will beat the odds and make a recovery. Every little bit counts. Thank you.”
The high amount of methane in the fracking fluid pollutes our aquifers. It then runs through our drinking supply, showers, and many other water related things. People drink this.
Flint’s water pollution is only a top of the iceberg, and only because thousands people were screening about this. Here you can see that the roots of the ecologic problem go much deeper. #Hate it!

Everything that happens to you is a reflection of what you believe about yourself. We cannot outperform our level of self-esteem. We cannot draw to ourselves more than we think we are worth.

One of the most iconic scenes of all time in Black Cinema.

Just gonna say this is actually the first picture I’ve actually seen of wounded female veterans. Now that I think about it they are (in my eyes at least) hugely forgotten. Some female service members have been in combat and hit by IEDs outside the wire but it’s always the males you hear about and never the females. I think this picture is great and everyone should see it so please share it!
