Derby Sisters and fans, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD about and for Tequila!
Three year derby skater Tequila Mockingbird, GUTSY, strong woman
and injured skater from The Windy City Rollers
needs support!
Team Fury's Tequila Mockingbird suffered a catastrophic neck injury in
the August '07 bout, and is currently in an outpatient rehab facility
where she is
kicking ass from her hospital bed/wheelchair. She had no primary
insurance.
There have been a ton of well-wishers writing to ask where donations
can be made. Here's the first part of that info.
Checks can be mailed to a charitable trust that has been established
for Tequila:
North Community Bank
c/o The Tahirah Johnson Trust
Attn: Amber Barnhill
1555 N. Damen Ave.
Chicago, IL 60622
---Donations will be tax-deductible.--
The Paypal account for Tequila Mockingbird has now been set-up and people can donate through Paypal to:
TheTahirahJohnsonTrust@gmail.com
All funds will be transferred directly into her North Community Bank account and are tax-deductible.
Also, people are welcome to send well-wishes to Tequila at that email address and we will make sure they get to her.
Thank you all for helping to spread the word so far!
.
And from all who love her!
