Dragonfli update ....and a BIG thank you!!
Mega thank you to everyone (you know who you are :hug: ) who felt moved and took action to help out a fellow DUer who - like so many - has been having a hard time lately. There are so many living on the edge and then that one thing...unexpected injury, illness or a pet's illness, on top of the everyday struggle just tips us off the ledge we're hanging on to with our badly broken fingernails.

OK...good news...Dragonfli is is still in pain but feeling better and we seem to have located a laptop for him from a fellow DUer.
:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
His sweet dog is recovering nicely from a yeast infection. :) We managed to get him a phone & some phone time and some extra cash to help with other needs.:thumbsup: So thank you...and a bit of a request from Dragonfli....please take action & speak out against the upcoming budget cuts!!


It is crucial at this point in time. Please please consider taking action on the budget cuts. These are the things that help the poor and the homeless. These are the things that make the difference between life and death...literally!! Sometimes it's easy to take action on things that directly affect us ...but we need to help ALL our citizens. What kind of country allows people to go homeless and hungry? How can we let the few cut off aid to the ones who need it most?

Call or write your congresspeople before March 18th!!!! Tell them NO budget cuts!
Thank you.

OK...stepping off my soapbox now....just want to say thanks again...you guys all rock!!
Hope we get to see Dragonfli back on DU soon.
:bounce:

Sending you lots of warm wishes, Dragonfli.

14. Warm wishes to Dragonfli and all who helped out
I was just about to PM someone here to see if I had missed the boat on the help line.
Am I reading this right, there is a laptop in place and the dog is on the mend too?

Sure hope so, and continue to send warm thoughts your way.

15. This is so good. Sad isn't it that people in a country with abundance
cannot find help beyond the kindness of people they know and those they have befriended on the internet. This is such an act of kindness to someone who probably felt invisible. I salute everyone here and hope you get well, Dragonfli.

28. I look forward to seeing him back on the site.
I've always enjoyed reading his posts & of course, his little fluttering dragonfly in his signature, always amuses me.

:hug: to Dragonfli.
