"Greetings Loving Gainesville Community,

Our Super Sister Turtle: aka Vismaya and Jenny is currently in Shands recovering from a horrendous incident. Yes, rest assured she is recovering. However she is experiencing tremendous pain. It is a miracle that she is here to experience the pain and I know she will heal from the injury as well. Yet she is debilitated for now and many of us feel we need to begin fund raising for Turtle, Elijah, and Alene (Turtle's mother who is here from Kentucky). This Wed. market several folks will be setting up an altar in honor of Turtle (Vismaya) at her usual booth location (the sw corner of the grassy part of the inner plaza next a tree). We will hold a space for her and we will be having a raffle. The raffle prizes will consist of a few specially selected Turtle creations that she usually sells at market. Please come to market with some money to participate in the raffle as well as circulate the information to encourage others to do so as well. Regardless of the donations we do need everyone sending her loving healing thoughts. If you have any photos of Turtle, candles, or sacred meaningful objects that you want to place at the altar during market you are so invited to do so.

Turtle (Vismaya, Jenny) was struck on Saturday at 3 PM by a runaway trailor that unhitched, lost control and struck Turtle. She had pulled over off Hwy 27 for her dog to pee and she and the trailor were in the same place at the same time. This trailor is the kind that can carry two cars. It is a MIRACLE she is doing as well as she is. We will keep this miracle alive sending her all the endless love and healing potential there is. Fortunately her son Elijah was not with her when this occurred. The dog has not been located. There is an active search happening though. We are all so relieved to hear that her healing is going in a positive direction. Yet she will need her community support and we are a strong community that will provide this for her. Everybit of positive energy and help for her recovery is greatly appreciated. Turtle is not having visitor now yet to send a letter here is the address:
