||| FROM JAKE PERRINE |||
On Tuesday January 4 2021, our dear friend, the Pleadian Wizard known as Luka Palisaede, was in a head-on auto collision due to icy road conditions. Luka was unresponsive upon arrival. They were intubated, resuscitated, and flown off island to a hospital in critical condition.
Luka suffered a wide range of injuries including a collapsed lung, punctured liver, several broken ribs, internal bleeding, and a chipped C2 vertebrae. They were put in a medically induced coma and admitted to the ICU and put on a ventilator.
Luka is a beloved dear soul and incredible artist with a piano and electronic music. If you are unfamiliar with Luka’s music, please enjoy this livestream they did (under a different name) in October 2020 entitled Autumn Rain.
This GoFundMe is to try to help cover all Luka’s various medical expenses, missed work, bills, etc. We do not have exact expense figures at this time but we will update this page regularly with details.
We have word that the passengers in the other vehicle are okay.

Thanks for publicizing this, Jake. We have gotten to know Luka at the Food Bank, where they been one of the staff, and what a wonderful person and talented musician. All the best for a speedy recovery.
So appreciate our Orcas Strong community for showing up with such love and generosity for Luka’s recovery. Blessings on you all over in B’ham holding that oh, so essential, frontline of advocacy. Stay well, know we are here.
We are listening to their music right now and she is so talented. I’m really enjoying it, how did I not know? Thanks for publicizing the go-fund page.
