Scammers almost got me. Figured it out and started messing with them a little. Figure the more time they waste on me, the less time they can spend scamming someone else. Stay cautious out there.

I got enough for diapers and wipes to get her through until the month of December! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed. If anyone else donates after this point, I’ll be using it to buy personal hygiene products for clients getting back on their feet.

Early one morning in March 2014, Kodiak native Zola Nelson took her last shot of methamphetamine and heroin — just enough to keep the feeling of sickness at bay. She had been addicted to drugs for many years, but now she was determined to get clean and focus on saving herself
