AFAICT the new deadline is the 28th [of February].  they’re only at 69% of their goal as of now, please pass this around and donate if possible.

The Davis family has had to bury three warriors for justice in the past seven months. Virginia Davis, the matriarch of the family, passed in April, just two weeks after the US Supreme Court denied Troy’s final appeal, paving the way for the state of Georgia to set a new execution date. According to Martina, her mother died of a broken heart—she couldn’t bear another execution date. Troy was executed on September 21, despite an international outcry over executing a man amid such overwhelming doubt. Troy’s sister Martina succumbed to her decade-long battle with cancer on December 1, exactly two months after her brother Troy’s funeral, leaving behind a teenaged son.

There are still outstanding medical and funeral bills for Martina that the Davis family must pay.

The Davis family has had to bear more tragedy and sorrow than any family should ever have to. Together, we can ensure that the financial aspect of these losses will not be a burden to them.

Any amount will be highly appreciated.

Any questions can be directed to Jen Marlowe at donkeysaddle@gmail.com

ALSO: comment left by Jen Marlowe, with info for mailing checks:

checks should be made out to the “The Martina Davis-Correia fund” and can be sent to:
Kimberly Davis
PO Box 2105
Savannah, GA 31407

ALSO IMPORTANT: the Dread Times post says that after the deadline, donations can be made via Kim Davis’s paypal account, at aug1970@bellsouth.net”.

All the signal boosts. All of them.
