[IMAGE]
Sandra Tellis is a 45-year-old woman from Oakland, California. On Friday, Sept. 1, she was the victim of a terrible attack. She was beaten, tied up, and set on fire. She is in critical condition in a Bay Area hospital and is slowly recovering.
Sandra's recovery will be long and slow. Please help us in letting her know that people around the world care.
A medical fund has been set up in Sandra's name at Bank of America. The account number is 05555-42840. To make a deposit, you can go into any Bank of America branch and give that account number. Checks can be made out to the Sandra Tellis Medical Fund.
If you prefer to mail a check, send it to: Bank of America 2546 San Pablo Ave. Berkeley, CA 94702 (Make sure to include the account number.)
Cards can be sent to the Tellis family care of Henry Lee, the San Francisco Chronicle reporter who has been covering the story. His address is: Henry Lee SF Chronicle 483 Ninth St., Suite 100 Oakland, CA 94607
A number of local hard rock bands are planning a benefit concert for Sandra on Friday, October 27. The concert will be held at the Uptown, which is located at 1938 Telegraph Avenue in Oakland. Participating bands include Placenta, Soul Broker, The Greenhouse Effect and Stonecutter. 70% of the price of admission ($8) goes to the fund (this is the percentage that the bands would be making), and $2/CD sold. We will also have a donation box at the door, and we will be "passing the hat" during every set. For additional information, please contact Placenta at shadeshaman [at] hotmail.com or check our website at http://www.placentarocks.com/gigs.html Thanks!Rachael Huang
