Hi
Welcome back!
Given recent developments, I recognize Jeffrey has a lot going on. Amidst all this, I am
personally grateful to him as my sister-in-law was recently diagnosed and is
fighting triple negative breast cancer -- a challenge I know he has recognized and
funded.
In two weeks, I'll be presenting at this upcoming event, UMass Boston To Host an
International Conference on Disaster Management in May 2014 - University of
Massachusetts Boston.
the ItostonConference.Abstract WS.htm I submitted was accepted and I am now a
featured presenter and will also sit on a panel to discuss the unique needs of
children immediately following natural disasters.
The attention our small foundation is now receiving is exciting; however, our continued
growth and success is dependent upon establishing a protocol to study our
methodologies to prevent PTSD. We spoke briefly about this and now must move
forward.
A prominent member of our Advisory Council (who is surely known to Jeffrey) can
arrange for this study to be performed by the Rand Corporation (where he is a
Senior Advisor) or a similarly qualified organization but we urgently need
5150,000 - $200,000 to hire a clinical director to head this research and fund the
infrastructure for it to begin.
If you or he can instruct us how to proceed more formally if necessary in making this
request, I am most willing to go to the next step.
I also want to reiterate my personal concern for him and hope we can reconnect when
possible. I am back in the US now and remain available to meet or speak.
Thanks,
Bill
