Here in the Keys tonight we are having a benefit for a nurse

who was horribly injured in an automobile accident last year.

She worked with families of cancer patients. Today she struggles to still yet stay alive, the bills horrendous.

Hundreds upon hundreds of people are here to give their hearts and money to this incredible lady, a fellow nurse and colleague of mine.

The same Elks that is large enough for the cast and crew of Bloodline, is barely accommodating the crowd, and they have done a beautiful job with the decorations and food.

no first world country forces its citizens to have bake sales and fund raisers to pay for needed medical treatment.
