letters for chi/ fundraiser/ update and prayers

[oneloveforchi]

I am surprised a lot of bands or at least members of other bands themselves are not donating a few bucks Chi's way. I mean it's Deftones. They have loads of friends in the music community especially rich and famous bands like Korn and Linkin Park. So I am surprised at that.

ya i know.. again.. maybe they haven't heard or seen the website yet?? i really don't know.... 

one love for chi,
gina

Haha, when Chi wakes up and sees what's been around him all this time, he'll think:


" Damn, heaven looked like a trash comparing to this. "

Jesusinabowlofdirt, I can't believe you 
Even if you were joking or being sarcastic, that was uncalled for..!
After all, Gina has spent WEEKS devoting her time to help Chi to get better - more or less full time.
I've been there through the process, kind of, so i know this for a fact.

let there be no question, i admire ginas work on this... but the site said "we need 20k" (for the coma therapy device) when they later change it to 50k when the money poured in and the goal was reached,of course u have the right to ask why and where that extra money will go. nothing strange about that. im very glad he is showing progress already even before the therapy... but i still dont understand why more rockbands havent donated anything. korn for instance. is it the financial crisis?  just that acidband i never heard of gave some

hey J - actually it went a little different than that.. when i launched the site i started at $20K as an 'initial/minimum goal' - those words were used for a reason because if the efforts went well i wanted to raise much more for chi... because he will need much more. WAY more. in the beginning i never said what the funds would be going to specifically besides chi's medical care. i had not even found the portable units at that time.

his recovery will not be a short one.. and with insurance not paying... even with him being in a cheaper facility now.. money will go quick. so the cost of the chamber yes will be covered.. but there are other things that the funds will potentially go to.. like the actual doctor that specializes in oxygen therapy that will be assisting thru his whole treatment.. also for example if no headway can be made with his current insurance company then we may use it to get chi medical insurance.

for sure everyone has the right to know where these funds are going.. which is what i was trying to do in the first place.. let everyone know the first thing we are making happen for chi is the oxygen therapy. i will continue to let everyone know as the money is spent where it is going. not one penny had been spent until the chamber. chi's mother and i know we hold a great responsibility to all of you great people. this is someone else's hard earned money and it will be treated as so. (just to give you an idea.. jeanne refused to use the funds we raised even for gas for her car even tho pretty much everything she does in the car is something for him.. she said no.) everything is being documented and we will be held responsible to the penny. on the website there will be a break down of where the funds went because everyone has a right to know. jeanne said this from the beginning.. and we will both stand true to that.

so J - yes you are right.. people absolutely have a right to know and they will. everyone has my word.

as far as not understanding why other rock bands haven't donated.. you know.. i don't know.. but i won't let it stop me from pushing on. chi needs us and i won't give up.

i know that ming, chi's brother, talked to fieldy from korn the other day they are in talks on doing an event. but we still need to get the word out i think... raise awareness of chi's condition. there had been NO communication anywhere for so long until www.oneloveforchi.com happened.. we need to get people back in the loop.

el hefe.. the guy who did the event in romania.. he reached out to people he knows from faith no more and NOFX.. hopefully they can play an event with us. (if you read this el hefe.. you rock! thank you again.)

we just gotta keep pushing.. getting the word out. i am going to work on a press release today regarding www.oneloveforchi.com looking for bands to step forward for nationwide events..

one love for chi,
gina

you seem to be an inexhaustible source of energy. what are u, an angel on speed or what?
god bless. keep it up!

the man spoke?! wtf thats great news 

[Hell_Tanner]

I said it before, I'll say it again, I'm pretty dissapointed by the band's lack of reaction. Most of the things that Gina have done should've be done by the band, they should definitely show stronger support, I find it a bit weak so far....

It's great but every time I read about that piece of skull that needs to be put back on...that makes me cringe, I imagine Chi with a shaved head or some kind of helmet....Poor Chi. What prevents them from doing it exactly?

you have no idea how they're reacting to all this and what they're doing behind the scenes.

all we know is that they're trying to get the album done. and with all the whining about the album taking too long, I take it you don't rather want them to put the album on hold and take care of their brother Chi instead.

you people are like spoiled little kids who's never happy with what you get.

why are they doing things behind the scenes? i will be happy with what i get if chi gets well ,they release eros sometime soon,and we get a studio version of buffalo/finger of death death that almost sounds like the live version but with more power in the screams in the breakdown.
in that case...  no more whining,i promise!

jeff/willhaven has done alot.. and he visits him diligently every week.. he has done like 3 events and i think he may have another one planned.. not sure.. he has raised over $10K i believe...

i am hoping the press release asking specifically for bands to step forward will help.
