CASHAPP: JoeGurko

VENMO: JoeGurko

$23,000 is so much money anyways and the fact that it's STILL not enough and that something CAN be done and won't be because of insurance makes me so sick.

Please boost and share what you can.

And fight for Free Healthcare in the United States because this is EVIL.

Excerpt from this story from the Arizona Republic:

It was a bright and sweltering July day when famed climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe sent an email to Joellen Russell asking if she’d like to help mobilize an army of moms against climate change.

Right around the same time, two summers ago, Russell's 11-year-old daughter Maeve got heat stroke — symptoms of which include rash, confusion, headache and nausea — while riding her bike around their Tucson neighborhood during the peak of the pandemic.

"That was the same summer where we had 108 100-degree days in Tucson," Russell said. "That really kicked it into high gear for me. It’s just hotter than it was and it stays hotter longer. We can adapt, but there are certain things like play time outdoors for children, we’re losing ground on these things."

A professor, oceanographer and climate scientist at the University of Arizona, Russell has witnessed rising average temperatures and worsening weather extremes in both a personal and professional capacity. So she decided to join forces with Hayhoe to address climate change on both fronts.

Over the fall of 2020, Russell and Hayhoe rounded up nine more prominent climate scientist moms around the country and, in January 2021, they launched "Science Moms." They aren't selling anything. They don't take donations or endorse candidates or political parties. They just want to talk to moms who care about the next generation.

The Science Moms website is organized around "giving moms the facts" about the climate crisis and how it imperils their children's current health and future livelihoods. It links to TED Talks, suggests books such as "How to Talk to Your Kids about Climate Change" and offers a climate myth busters page.

When moms are ready to take action, the website outlines three simple, alliterative steps anyone can take to start tackling climate change: swap, share and speak up. Swap carbon-polluting stuff for clean stuff. Share facts, concerns and solutions with family and friends. Speak up and ask leaders about their plans to stop big polluters.

Hospitalisation is REQUIRED to ensure safety and health.

Take a child to HOSPITAL if: A fever for more than five days in a child of any age, Fever with either a fine red rash (sandpaper-like texture), full body rash similar to sun burn, and/or red, swollen tongue. A fever in a child under three months of age, a child with immune system issues or complex chronic health conditions. A child struggling to breathe (e.g. chest appears to sink in just above or below the breastbone with each breath, you may hear grunting or notice the head bobbing with each breath in a young infant). Pale skin, whitish or blue lips. A child who is very sleepy or having difficulty waking up, or A child becoming very sick, very quickly.

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:

Children in Pennsylvania who grew up within roughly a mile of fracking wells are twice as likely as other young people to develop the most common form of juvenile leukemia, according to a new study by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.

The study, published Wednesday in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, also found that children born to pregnant women who lived near fracking wells were nearly three times as likely as other newborns to be diagnosed with leukemia.

The research, part of a registry-based study which drew on such information as patient health histories and geographic data, was based on a review of records for about 2,500 children, roughly 400 of whom were being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most widely diagnosed form of childhood leukemia also known as ALL.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a process through which chemicals, water and other substances are injected into the ground at high pressure to allow for the extraction of oil and natural gas. Fracking is also considered a form of unconventional oil and gas development when compared to more traditional methods of drilling.

Pennsylvania is the site of roughly 13,000 unconventional natural gas wells, according to the state department of Health, and the study’s researchers noted that from 2005 to 2014, more than 1,000 spills, 5,000 violations and 4,000 complaints from residents related to oil and gas had been recorded.

Environmentalists and others have long criticized the practice, which can pollute groundwater and release greenhouse gases into the air. Oil and gas production operations have also been associated with the release of known or suspected carcinogens such as benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

“What our results really indicate is that exposure to unconventional oil and gas development may be an important risk factor for ALL, particularly for those children that are exposed in utero,” said Cassandra Clark, the lead author of the study.
