I wanted to give you an update so that you know how very much your money is appreciated and that it is not only not being taken for granted, but is so very helpful.  I couldn't make it without it.  I recently had to have my big toe amputated (that makes two amputations on my right foot).  I am now scheduled for some more cardiac stents to be put in this Thursday.  In the meantime, I had to have a colonoscopy  because they found an abnormality.  Because of that I have enormous medical bills which your mony really helps with trying to defray.  Our insurance isn't that good and it's leaving me a lot to deal with. Your constant friendship and support, prayers and gifts have been an ongoing sign of Providence and I am so very grateful. I want you to know how much your money is appreciated and that it is being put to good use. I contine to pray for MOM everyday.  Fr. Joe
