Blatant Plea for Money Ahead...Run For Your Life!

Many of you have asked if you could help, if you wish to donate or raise some funds or both, it can be sent to one of two places. I maintained an account with M&T Bank for years and can access the funds for our use over here from ATM’s. My mom, Mary Miller and best friend, Sue Mayne have agreed to serve as record keepers and bankers for me so I can send out receipts for all donations received. I’m not posting their addresses here; and I was premature with my comment about frontiernet straightening out my internet issues. I can now receive e-mails there, but can’t send from that address. Typical! If you would like to know where to send a check, please e-mail me and I will forward you the snail mail address.

I would like to thank you in advance. I’m astounded at how far an American dollar can actually go over here. A great deal of the aid money is not getting through to the Sri Lankans that really need it for largely political reasons. I wrote to my friend, Carol Knapp, a fairly concise reader’s digest version of “Where is all the money?” I would be happy to forward that on to you upon request as well. Putting it here would only irritate the people that order around all the soldiers with automatic weapons. I have a nodding acquaintance with all the ones I see on the way to work and don’t want to meet any new, extra ones, thank you very much.
I’m still working on the Pastor’s story and will let you know when it’s finished, meanwhile pass a coffee can at work, hold a car wash or have a bake sale. We’ll take
it! Till next time…
