RECoyote Mindes' Mother Ill With Cancer, Donations Needed

As a trucker in real life, RECoyote Mindes, or "Rec" as he's known to friends, has been a man of few words, letting his actions speak for him. Long known for being the coowner of Perri Prinz's Xanadu classic rock club in HV Community, more recently he's been known for helping out his fellow Sunweavers. He helped out two residents by buying them new tablets and computers (one of whom passed down her old equipment to a third resident when her machine went down). He helped the Sunweaver and Angel sims by paying the fees to Linden Lab to acquire them the "grandfathered" rates, which meant lower rents for the tenants.

Behind the trucker is a real life family, and his mother has fallen ill with cancer. Nydia Tugsten posted the news last night as a group announcement.

Reco's Mom went into ICU Saturday.  They're now there with her. Small cell cancer in her lungs, brains and a couple other places.
She is on her second day of kemo today, one more day of it they will need to wait at least a week to see if the mass in her lung breaks up.

Reco, we are all here for you, if you need anything, let us know and we will help in any way we can.

Earlier today, RECoyote had this response.

Ok, I do need help. This has used up all of my money and I can use any money any of you can spare me. Please help.
paypal recoyote@pld.com Thank you y'al.
Please help if you can

Now the one who has helped many finds himself in need of help. Those who have some cash to spare are asked to help out a little.

Once again, the requested donations can be sent via Paypal to recoyote@pld.com .
