ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

BLOOD DONATIONS NEEDED around Costa Rica - URGENT!!! (this is an on-going list)



DONATING BLOOD (or organs•body parts) is not a real common thing in Costa Rica so your help is ALWAYS NEEDED!!!!!

This page I'm going to start listing various requests I receive (double check with the hospital first to make sure they still need it before you go as this is a free listing in a site with over 2,000 posts so I don't have time to update them.  On that note, if you see a request I don't have, please send it to me [see the note below on what all I need]).

IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE GOING!!!
ALSO BEFORE GOING - check out this link to see what the hospitals process, prerequisites, etc. are to avoid wasting your time and gas:

REQUESTS:
MAY 18, 2014
TYPE:
A-•A negative - OR - O-•O negative

PERSON NEEDING IT:
LOUCINDA RUTH

WHERE:
CIMA HOSPITAL - ESCAZU

Loucinda Ruth needs your help asap for a Blood Transfusion as the type of blood she needs, only 5% of Latin’s have it (15% Americans & 20% Europeans) so the blood bank does not have much of it.

Loucinda Ruth has lived in Costa Rica for 20 years where she was a teacher at Marian Baker School.  She has been in ICU for 10 weeks.  She has had numerous surgeries and is bleeding internally.  She's close to the end. 

PLEASE SHARE THIS!!!

Do you know many Europeans living in Costa Rica?  Perhaps you could share this with them??



@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


WHAT BLOOD TYPES ARE REGULARLY NEEDED THE MOST:

CIMA:
O- • O negative (the hardest to find - BUT - it’s the BEST to use with the other ones)
O+ - the most common used

ARE YOU IN ANY PRAYER CIRCLES?
Perhaps you could add these peoples names to the Prayer Circles or put them in your thoughts?!

If you're looking for a new way to language such a prayer, Karen Butler has a wonderful message she sounds out to her Prayer List:
"We hold dear ____ now in Divine Light and Love, in Divine Healing Grace, and in Divine Order for her Highest Good.      
__________ you are a true expression of Eternal Life. You reflect the Divine Balance and the Perfection of Creator, All That Is, your I AM God Presence within you.  Our Infinite Love and Healing Blessings flow to you now.  So be it, and so it is.  Peace."

WHAT ARE YOUR WISHES ON WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR BODY AFTER YOU'VE GONE?

This is a topic MOST people don't want to go to but we're ALL going to go sometime!!  A large % of the people in my life that have passed away, did so from sudden accidents caused by someone elses negligence and pretty you.  WE DO NOT KNOW when it's our time to go!!!!!
PLEASE - as SOON as possible - #1 - make your wishes KNOWN to those that will make decisions for you and GET IT IN WRITING!!!!!!!!!!!  MAKE IT OFFICIAL (this is a VERY SENSITIVE subject to me after my daddy clearly stated he wanted to be cremated but his mother interfered and he was buried [my grandfather was the mayor of the small town this happened in]).


One thing that's GREAT is you can have ALL your expenses taken care of when you die by
DONATING YOUR BODY TO SCIENCE!!
Check out the article at:

SOON I'm going to do a story on where you can get discounts on burials and cremations and LOTS more on this IMPORTANT TOPIC we can NOT bury our head in the sand over - to leave for those we CLAIM to love to deal with (and TRUST ME - it's a NIGHTMARE!)
