Hey all!
We, at the Blind Melon Forum, would like to take some time to discuss a few things that have been weighing on our minds for quite some time.
Nel Hoon has done so much for Shannon's fans, as well as the Blind Melon community, for a very long time. Vigils are held annually, as most of you know. However, we believe now is a great time to reciprocate. Without getting deep into details, we would like to set up a fund to help Nel. She's let the fans into her home, THE home Shannon grew up in. She's let the fans into Shannon's room, and has shared so many precious stories regarding her late son. There may come a time where these opportunites are no longer available. However, we can help keep these great opportunitied alive...
What we would like to do is help out Nel. We are asking that all Shannon Hoon fans, and Blind Melon fans alike, by visiting her jewelry site: www.eyeandminddesigns.com or www.myspace.com/nelhoon and purchase some of her handcrafted jewelry.
However, we also feel that more can be done. We are setting up a donation for her, to help keep up with Vigil costs, and her door open to Shannon's fans... Now is the perfect time to donate. If everyone on this forum would donate just 5 dollars, we could really help her out. However, that is highly impossible. So, we are asking for anything you can spare... Every little bit helps. Let's help keep the tradition of the Vigil and visiting Shannon's home alive.
Today marks the 12th anniversary of Shannon's passing. It only seems right to choose today as the day to start all of this.
Please, if you could help out in anyway (ie. buying her jewelry, donating to keep the traditions alive, purchasing her T-Shirt at the Melon shows, etc) it is more than appreciated.
