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.

On Monday, 02/18/2019, I, Joseph Graham, received the worst and most heartbreaking news I could have ever imagined. I lost my nieces, and the world lost 3 beautiful angels: Kyrie Rodery (8), Cassidy Rodery (6), and Alaina Rau (2). 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.
