[blparent] FW: [Chapter-presidents] Help us to bring Mikaela home

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

This just puts me in tears.  Is it really going to cost all that much?  What 
about the ACLU?  Is there any place to make a donation by credit card for 
people who will not be attending the convention?  I can't believe she isn't 
home yet!
