November 2014 Visit

Nov. 8, 2014 CCWF . Kerry and Victoria visit in the attorneys' room.

Update: Kerry Lyn looks great doesn't she! 19 1/2 years on CA Death Row and she continues to be the strongest person I know. It's very difficult to stay healthy on prison diet, she stays aware of her needs and works to stay well, we supplement the meals provided with what is available to purchase from approved vendors. Things like vitamins, toothpaste, olive oil, granola, pasta, dehydrated onions, lotion, etc, are staples for her nutrition. We are allowed to order her a box from a vendor once per quarter (every 3 months). She can have up to 30 lbs in the box, so that is limited. 

I am posting some ideas on how any of you can let Kerry know you're thinking of her this season of giving and family time. Please consider sending her a card, some stamps, stationary, or contributing to her "box" (we handle the order since she can only receive one.)

Ways to make Kerry's life a little brighter:

Letter or card - (be sure to hand write Kerry's address and don't forget to write out your return                                 name and address - otherwise the letter will be rejected. No stamps or any other                               writing on the envelopes, only the postage stamp is allowed.)
Kerry Lyn Dalton W42583
504-C1-138
p.o. box 1508
Chowchilla CA, 93610-1508

If you send a postcard- you still must include a return address and a name.


Postage Stamps -  (so she can write you and others) be sure to write in your letter you have                                          enclosed stamps and how many. She can receive up to 40 stamps per envelope.
Stationary -          up to 20 blank post cards per envelope, up to 10 blank greeting cards per                                           envelope, sheets of blank stationary paper. Nothing can be hand made since                                     paint, tape, glue, glitter,etc are not allowed on your mail, but it can be printed                                     copies of your work. 
Photographs -       send her a photo of yourself, your family and friends, a scene of the season,                                       your pet, nature, or other sights you'd like to share. (no Polaroids, or layered                                     pics)

Gifting to her box - send contributions to us, indicate what you'd like it to go for or just to her                                           general needs; email for further details:                                                                                                 FellowshipOfPeaceFoundation@gmail.com   (any amount accepted, every few                                   dollars adds to the gift)     
           We will include your name on the contributors and send you a copy of the invoice.

Items Kerry could use (we'll order for her Box) -
                                     Sweat pants, sweat shirt (usually no heat in her building) 
                                     Cd's (music can be therapeutic!)
                                     Herbs  (she prefers natural remedies to prescription drugs, the facility does                                      not provide homeopathic treatments. Kerry's system does not tolerate                                                synthetic medications well. )
                                     Other healthier food alternatives, toiletries, socks,...

Books -                        a good read is such a blessing!  The book orders must come from a Third                                          party dealer (Amazon is good and usually best prices), must be new, only                                            paper backs allowed.
                             
                              Either send her a book you like or ask her if she has a title in mind.
                                      Some titles on her wish list are:
(GIFTED)                     A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle
(GIFTED)                     The Gift, Ladinsky
(GIFTED)                     The Essential Jung, C.G. Jung / Anthony Storr
                                      Man's Search For Meaning, Victor Frankl
                                      Custer Died For Your Sins, Vine Deloria Jr.
                                      The Red Road To Wellbriety
                                      The Mastery of Love,      Don Ruiz Miguel         
                                      Long Walk to Freedom,      Nelson Mandela
(GIFTED)                     I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,    Maya Angelou
                                              (I'll add more soon.)  
Please let me know if you choose a book from this list so we don't duplicate, thank you.

Or just email me to pass a suggestion on or by me. I look forward to hearing from you and how we can support Kerry Lyn through another Christmas season on Death Row.  FellowshipOfPeaceFoundation@gmail.com
