Funeral & Relocation Expenses for the Epp family

Andrew Gabriel Epp was a gentle, beautiful soul. He loved the outdoors, fishing, camping, horticulture and animals. Unfortunately, Andrew also struggled with mental health issues and, after a lifelong battle, took his own life in the early morning on May 18, 2019. He was 36 years old.

May is Mental Health Awareness month. The night before he passed, Andrew’s family were begging local facilities to admit him. They were turned away and told, because he wasn’t vocalizing he wanted to hurt himself, the earliest he could even see a doctor was August 2019. The thing is, often those considering suicide don’t vocalize their plans. They can be turned away in the moments help is most needed.

Park ranger's selfie with gorillas striking a pose like humans goes viral

lol.

"YES, it’s real!," park officials wrote on a Facebook post. "Those gorilla gals are always acting cheeky so this was the perfect shot of their true personalities! Also, it’s no surprise to see these girls on their two feet either—most primates are comfortable walking upright (bipedalism) for short bursts of time."

Chronicling the End Times on Tangier Island

Once, this Virginia island was known mainly for its crab harvest and its people’s distinctive speech. These days, magazines and newspapers send reporters to Tangier because the island is predicted to be subsumed by the effects of global warming. You might get a "snapshot" of Tangier with a couple of days' reporting, but to know it truly, you’d have to follow the example of Earl Swift, whose book “Chesapeake Requiem” takes a long look at life on this beautiful, vanishing island in Chesapeake Bay.

Why the College-Admissions Scandal Is So Absurd

Don't completely agree it is absurd but a good read.  What is absurd is how the wealthy are handed educations.  

For the parents charged in a new FBI investigation, crime was a cheaper and simpler way to get their kids into elite schools than the typical advantages wealthy applicants receive.

No one understands and no one ever will understand.  I am trying to accomplish to give my family at the very least I’m praying to cover funeral costs with this.

RICHMOND ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL

We need your help. Last night (2/10/19) at 7:30pm a male brindle pit bull with a camo collar was tied to a pole in Abner Clay Park off the 200th Block of W Clay Street covered in accelerant and intentionally set on fire. Witnesses saw a adult male suspect wearing multiple layers of pants run from the scene towards Belvidere Street. If you have information about this crime call Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers at 780-1000 or submit your tip through the 3PTips. ANY information, anything you saw, anyone you suspect, if you have ever seen this dog, please call or message it in - no information is insignificant. We want to find the person responsible for this heinous crime. We named the dog Tommie and he is currently being treated for burns to over 40% of his body at Virginia Veterinary Centers. We are all hoping that we might be able to save him. Please consider making a donation to our RACC Foundation towards the cost of his vet care - it will be a long and expensive road to recovery for this sweet dog. Link in bio. I have to say that we don't get rattled by much at RACC and have witnessed ugly cases but this one makes us want to just sit on the floor and cry. Thank you to our partners at City of Richmond, VA Fire Department and Richmond Police Department for your incredible help and quick response to this call. Please help us save Tommie and find the person responsible for this evil, senseless act of violence. #weareyourcityshelter

DCF: Warning signs missed, policies not followed in Jordan Belliveau case

Ahhhhh....  yes.  Again worthless Destroying Children and Families does NOT follow any of its policies nor the law.  Nothing ever changes or gets any better, no one is held accountable.  Yet they will be sticking their hands out any day for more money and more money so they can destroy more children and families.  The worst part is they will waste more and more money to fail everyone exactly as they have for decades.
