Fellow Freethought blogger Greta Christina has been having a run of unfortunate setbacks in her life recently. Her father just died after a long illness and then almost immediately afterwards she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer that requires surgery and will cause her to curtail much of her writing and speaking (which is the source of her income) during the period of surgery and recovery.
Greta is, typically, hanging tough and being upbeat about her situation but she is also realistic that at this time she needs help so she is reluctantly holding a fundraiser to help tide her over just during the period of her treatment, until she can get back to writing and speaking full time again.
Any help that you can give her will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for passing this along. I subscribed to her blog for a year.
I have donated. I wish her a speedy recovery.
I am sorry to hear of Greta’s illness and her father’s passing. I just finished reading her book, “Why are Atheists so Angry” and was very impressed with her candor and writing style. One of the two books by David Fitzgerald (who does sound angry) mentioned her. I have been an agnostic most of my life. The things I’ve read, the hypocrisy I’ve seen, the church and my parents teaching did not add up. It’s been that way for 65 years, and I’ve been limping along making mistakes, raising my own kids, watching them raise their own kids in a church where I am not a believer. So, please pass along to Greta how much I, for one, appreciate her courage to speak out. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
