Christina Update #22: Suerte, por favor

Ah, Christina. She is in a strange limbo land that is so far beyond any experience I’ve ever had that I can’t begin to imagine it.

Here’s a brief recap. She wrecked her van. She has been charged with a felony. She’s navigating the legal system.

And here’s an update I received from her today — via PayPal — after sending another small donation. This is the only way she communicates with me now — through PayPal’s message function. Weird, but it seems to be her sole option at this time.

She is asking the universe for buena suerte — good luck. She could really use some.

hi dear friend

i miss you

ive been living in my car pretty much all the time and its just a big cluster fuck of bags

i got to my parents cuz i am sick

i am just overwelmed

my friend said she sent 20 bucks for gas so i came on to paypal to see and i realized you sent this amazing donation and others that i didnt respond to

im sorry

i should buy a new phone and keep thinking to do that but then gas and stuff comes up

im trying to get a plea for basically “bad operating” of a vehicle so . . . that wouldnt be a felony or damn jail time, or 6 months plus with no license . . . and a way smaller fine

i am asking the universe and all its magic and all its friends to send me so much buena suerte

right now my phone has no browser, so i cant open my mail or, well anything, just make and receive calls

this world is a crazy one . . . and i know we are all holding on for the ride . . . but man, my hands are tired so so tired

I wish I could get a warm hug from you

you always lightened my spirit when youd pop in the salon in San Pancho . . . oh the good old days, right?

hopefully great ones still to come

xoxo
