I had just washed and fueled up my car and spent the day shopping with my little when we totaled our car and the other one at a stop light. Despite knowing the impact this accident would have on my little's mental health and my body I was also worried about the costs and impact to my ability to get to work and move forward in general. The staff of Mercy Flights made the post-crash jitters and shock ease up as they drove us to the hospital. Thank you for being kind and warm and comforting during a very rough experience for the both of us.

The facility is super clean and there is an atmosphere of order and concern for each man housed there. My experience is that men do not like structure or being told what to do, and without structure the result is chaos. The Bible says, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." Ken is a great man with a vision to help as many people as possible for JESUS. Keep up the good work for JESUS, Ken, John and all the volunteers. The Gospel of JESUS is the only way out of a life of addiction, anger, abuse, pain and sin. RJ in Grants Pass, OREGON

Drug Wars - Answering the Call Hello,…read more My name is Tom Monson. I've been a resident of Medford Oregon for almost 40 years. I moved here from LA in the 70's. It was a very different place then. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer. During my week of radiation treatment I was blind and all I could do was lay on my back and reflect on my life. I thought about the things I've done, the things I wanted to, and all the marvelous blessings I have been given. I was at peace because I've had a rich and full life. During my recuperation, I discovered a tragedy unfolding. In a talk, Jackson County Medical Examiner, Dr. Jim Shames sounded an alarm about the dangers of prescription drugs. I decided to look into it. I discovered some horrifying facts. Last year, tens of thousands of teenagers died and hundreds of thousand became drug addicts (many of them turning to crime and/or prostitution to support their new habit). The deaths cross all economic and social stratus -- rich and poor, secular and non-secular. Why? The drug companies are pushing these drugs as cure-alls and some doctors freely write prescriptions. Most parents don't have a clue about the dangers of these drugs. The warnings have been lost in the news of political turmoil, the war on terror and our terrible economic times. You would think something this important would take top billing all the time. I knew I had to do something about this because according to the Centers for Disease Control, one in five teens use prescription drugs for non-medical purposes and many will either die or become addicted. I knew I could make a difference. Several years ago I produced a 1/2 hour documentary about a young heroin addict. For over a year, it was broadcast all over the state of Oregon. Several drug-treatment centers told me their intake calls for heroin addiction doubled the day after the broadcast. The state medical examiner reported two years later the number of heroin-related deaths declined by over 50%. The film worked. I just finished a documentary about the dangers of prescription drugs. The film will be broadcast on NBC-5 in December, 2012. It will be promoted on television, radio, Internet, and in print. In the Drug Wars, the real enemies are ignorance and apathy. If you know and do nothing, you are part of the problem. If we all do something we can save our children. The expenses for this endeavor are huge. If you own a businesses, you can gain positive name recognition by helping pay for the, production, air time and fees. If you just want to help me save our children, please do.
