Greetings:
The enclosed is communication was received by yours truly from Cindy Casey former head of the Nurses advisory board for the Morgellons Research Foundation.
Ms. Holman has serious concerns as to the past and currently ongoing questionable allocations of donated funds to such non-reseach big ticket items as airplane tickets etc., which benifit no one but the Board members themselves.
"These kinds of misappropriations do NOTHING to help the Morgie Community" she explains, "they are all about living off the fat provided by unsuspecting and trusting donors, while victims of this disease are sick and dying due to underfunded research."

Dear "K"
I do know who Mrsck is and she happens to be a life long friend of Charles and his family as well as a dear friend of mine. She is absolutely NOT A SPY and I believe she has only recently become a Lymebusters member.
I don't know what the particular post was that JJ found so offensive. I can tell you that this woman's (Mrsck) middle name is HONESTY so I'm sure that she was honest and compassionate as I know her very well. I also know that she has followed along with us in this journey and she knows what we've been
through.
I find it none of JJ's business who this dear friend of ours is. If she and Ant find it offensive...delete it and roll on. Hey, if you don't like the program...change the channel! Truth will prevail regardless of whether or not it is allowed on Lymebusters.
I'd like to see the post but I couldn't find anything "bashing Mary" on the site. I am speculating that she may have mentioned the outrageous price of Ken Cowles plane ticket to Tulsa as I know this to be something that she could not understand. ($1250.00 of donated funds to fly Ken to
Tulsa from N.J.) She is also angered about the $3,000.00 given to Ken for "his expenses" after he had told us that his work was "gratis".
All of this is true and if it's (the truth) is not welcome on Lymebusters, I will understand but I will see to it that it is made public everywhere else. I cautioned MRF when they did it...that this is public information...how the $ is spent and that every single donor has every right to know exactly how their $ is being spent.
As I said before...I'm sick and tired of the secrets.....no more secrets for me and no more keeping information from the people who deserve it the most.
JJ really scares me. She attacked me for saying that I would encourage people to donate to OSU! WTF is wrong with her that she has a problem with me trying to drum up $ for the research?
Charles and I brought in $15,000.00 in donations to the MRF. I asked specifically for the $10,000.00 donated by my sister-in-law go to Randy's research. Doug Buckner vetoed my wishes and would only agree to $4,000.00 going to Randy.
This is just absolutely sick and wrong and I will make it a public issue. Mary attacked me over the same thing. "K," something is really bad wrong with these people. Can you see why I decided to encourage people to donate to OSU instead?
Since Mrsck is a life long friend of the Holman family which has donated over $11,000 collectively to the MRF, I would highly encourage both Ant and JJ to respect her views and certainly not delete her posts. They could very easily get more letters written to the IRS regarding misuse of donated funds.
What they don't get is that these major donors to the MRF are sick of the bullnuts as am I. I would like to see the MRF show respect toward their donors but I really don't see that happening. To me,
this is all very sad.
I have no idea who JeezLouise is or how she could even be relative to the nurses. I would also like to see that post. I am wondering if this was part of JJ's blatant ignorance.
Instead of worrying about what others are saying about the MRF, why doesn't JJ get busy doing something to raise funds or increase awareness?
To my knowledge, she and Doug Buckner have raised 0 funds!!! Oooops I forgot that Doug bought 10 wristbands. It's okay that they haven't raised funds but I hope that they have in them to treat people who have donated on my behalf with dignity and respect. That goes for Mrsck.
That's all I have to say about that for now. I'm not into bashing anyone but I am VERY interested in getting the truth out to the folks that deserve it.
