No furry helpless bunny
Long time reptile hobbyist Gina Gauvin, a member of this site, aka OrnateSky attended the Great White concert in Warwick, RI on Feb 20 and was severly injured in the fire. She is in the hospital with burns covering more than 50% of her body, hooked up to a respirator in ICU and her condition is questionable but "hopeful" at this time.
Gina is well know on the internet, having donated thousands of hours of her time over the years helping others on many forums, email lists, Yahoo! Groups, and other reptile sites. Many people are indebted to her for the expert advice, time, and compasion Gina has shared with us all. I know there are many grateful reptile owners that owe the lives of their pets to Gina's help. She has never asked for anything in return, she does it for the love of reptiles.
Now it is our turn to step up and take care of one of our own, if you can. Gina is a single parent, mother of 2, sole support of her family and she needs our help!
Ronnie Buck, of AB Herps Gina's close personal friend, has been authorized by her family to accept donations on her and her families behalf. The information about donating can be found at his site here Donations for Gina along with a paypal link to make things easier. Starting immediately he is also donating 25% of the profits there to Gina and her family. Please find it in your heart to make a donation to a woman who has always been there with great advice on all kinds of herps.
Updates will be provided as anything is known, her brother is staying with her children while the rest of the family remains at the hospital, friends are coming in to are for the reptiles she breeds. No Flowers allowec as she is in an area of the hospital that does not allow them or cards.
If you would like to send Gina a card or regular mail a donation Ronnie has been authorized by Gina's family to accept them on her behalf also. Please make check's payable to Gina's brother, Vincent Catallozzi.
