I'd like to donate, but at the moment I may have to direct discretionary time and money towards saving Kim Suozzi:

The lack of interest in the prize puzzles me. Some very wealthy cryonicists want to tie up fortunes in speculative revival trusts, yet they depend on financially inadequate cryonics organizations to keep them in suspension against foreseeable adversities, and they seem uninterested in trying to improve the science of preserving their own brains. I don't understand this business model.
Has Suozzi's story been confirmed by CI yet?
I don't know about CI's due diligence. As the secretary of the Society for Venturism, which has the ability to raise money for Miss Suozzi's suspension, I can confirm that we've pursued our end of checking out her story.
We helped out in getting William O'Rights cryosuspended a few years ago, for example:

One of our directors has interviewed Miss Suozzi, and she may have a article about her written up soon which we'll post on the Venturists' website:

Just donated to Kim's fund.
Do you have any plans to manage a donation fund for her?
Thank you! Could you publicize your confirmation? I believe there are a number of people willing to donate who were holding off until the story was confirmed. What is the best way to donate to the fund?
