Short Summary

Brenda Capps was arrested Thursday, November 15 and was charged with practicing medicine without a license. Please help us raise funds for her legal battle and living expenses.  Brenda Capps has been serving California families as an experienced mentor, mother, and grandmother for decades. Hundreds of families can credit her for fostering better family relationships.  Her faith, encouraging attitude and selflessness have motivated others to support families in a similar way.  Her husband, Michael, is a retired pastor, so serving others comes naturally to this couple.  Now it's time for us to support them during this difficult time.

Here's a link to a news article: http://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/bakersfield-woman-arrested-for-practicing-medicine-without-a-license

At the end of the article is a phone number to call the medical board.  It's (800) 633-2322.  Please call and let them know what you think of their so-called "Operation Safe Medicine" that will put thousands of mothers at risk if midwives are driven out of CA.

What We Need & What You Get

Brenda will have a lot of expenses in the next year or more and this is an opportunity to show your support.  Most of all, she and her husband, Michael, need your prayers because this is an emotionally draining experience.  Michael is a retired pastor, and Brenda is unable to work during this ordeal, so anything you can give financially, no matter how small, will be a benefit.  Just knowing you care enough to give $5 or $10 in these difficult financial times means a lot.  Please consider giving a small amount periodically, like $5 a month, or $1 a week, whatever makes sense for you.

In return, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you did the right thing.  And that you helped a wonderful woman who has helped others her whole life.

Just so you know, funds contributed by Paypal are available to Brenda right away. Funds contributed by credit card will be available when the campaign ends on February 14, 2013.  What a nice "I love you" gift on Valentine's Day!
