an indiana sister in need

i am here to ask you all to dig deep into your holiday spirit and ask yourself: HOW CAN I HELP AN INDIANA SISTER WHOSE HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY? i dont know how mant of u have contacted lori b but i do know that we can ALL do something. we can send a card, we could send a gift for her 4 yr old son, we can send some $ - even if its only $5. every little bit helps. please find in your heart someway to help this family have a merry christmas. LYNDIA is on the hoosier losers directory.

Hey, What is wrong with her?? I think I have missed out on whats going on with her? I hope she is doing ok and I will pray for her...  Megan

lyndia had surgery on october 3 and has been in the hospital more that out ever since. the day before she had surgery #1 her husband got laid off from his full time job. then she had to have surgery #2, the day before it she got laid off. She has had trouble with leaks and a fever. now their only income is from her husbands part time evening job and they have a 4 year old son. bills are piling up and they have nothing at all for the little one for christmas. lori b has set up a paypal account to accept donations to help them and i am just asking that we from indiana help a sister somehow. like a said a card and small gift for her son a $ donations (if you can afford it). just something to show lyndia we still care. i have not been getting a good response . lori has been flooded with replies from the DS board but here in indiana i have heard almost nothing.

This is a link to Lori Black's message on the DS board.  It explains more in depth some of Lyndia's trials, as well as how to make a PayPal donation or help in other ways.  Come on Hoosiers, we can't let the DS'ers get the upper hand! 

(just trying to set up some friendly competition)

I think the reason the response has been slow on the Indiana board is not a result of a lack of concern, but rather the fact that a number of regular posters have been hard hit healthwise and financially this year. I know that the hidden costs for me of the surgery have made things very tight!

i totally understand that not everyone can do alot BUT we all could afford to spend $1 to $1.50 to buy a 99 cent card at walmart or even a 50 cent card if you have a dollar general close by and send it to her! that is all i am trying to get acrossed.
