Michigan Retreat

[Guest guest]

Namaste to all,

 

As I said earlier today, I do not think that I will be able to afford

to go to the Michigan retreat, even though I am local. My husband is

not authorized to work for any employer he chooses here in the US (he

is from India); he is only authorized for certain job titles for now.

He is having a very difficult time finding a job despite his

education. I am working two jobs right now, trying to make ends meet.

My friend suggested that I set up a Paypal account to accept

donations from those willing to help me with the registration fee. I

feel very strange about it, because I generally do not like asking

for help.

 

Whatever funds are donated towards my registration, I will someday

(when we are financially on our feet) donate back to one of Amma's

charities. I am also willing to trade rides during the retreat for

any donations. (Of course, I am willing to give rides to those who

have contacted me with no strings attached!!)

 

Here is the link (copy and paste it into your browser):

Please do not take any offense to this plea from Amma's child and do

not feel ANY pressure. I am learning a big lesson here: sometimes,

asking for help is okay.

 

All my love,

Forever at Amma's feet,

Erica

My dear brothers and sisters,

 

My humblest pranams to all of you, for you are living testaments to

Amma's Divine Love.

 

It certainly looks as though I will be going to the retreat. By

Amma's grace and kind generosity...! So, thank you. From the bottom

of this child's heart. I have tears in my eyes and my heart is

overflowing with love...

 

With love,

At Amma's Divine Lotus Feet,

Erica
