What we need here is an organized cross-country relay-and-support team, so
that Daniel and Company don't have to lay out so much money for lodging,
meals, etc.  That would also let D&C drop off some equipment as they went,
further reducing costs to the recipients, since shipping would be
eliminated.

After all, if you're driving from Oregon to Virginia, how many miles does a
detour to Austin add?  Or St.Paul?  San Diego would be out of the way, but
anywhere in the middle might not.

I'm in Seattle (more or less), and I don't need an SGI (I'm at the limits of
Spousal Tolerance as it is), but I can offer logistical support, short-term
warehousing, sleeping accommodations, etc.  I'm sure almost everyone along
the way can do a little of the same.
