Hi! I have been a Focalizer for many years in the Neighborhood where I was born which used to be totally Rainbow and Proud, then experienced failed gentrification and now is a war zone. I work getting Street Youth to Gathering as a Street Mom. Worked a little too hard this year. Also did laminated presentation of articles that made us look really good, including one I wrote, for mainstream newspaper, to be presented at Vision Council and left my proxy vote. Too sick to stay for Council so had the presentation done by two representatives ---that's why my vote was proxy instead of presented by me personally and apparently it went down really well. I am recovering at home and may or may not be awaiting surgery, leaning against it towards something less invasive and natural but real sick. Need messages from Family while I rest and recover for a two or three months before working again. S.O.S.
