Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Dear ones, I haven't been posting much lately, because I've had so much going on, but... My husband and I have been and are still having a pretty rough time of things, relating to ongoing medical issues, as well as a devastating loss we suffered last year. We both want (and I feel like I really need) to go on retreat with Amma in Michigan...especially since we won't have another opportunity to be with Her until next July. However, we're under tremendous financial strain right now (we have to come up with hundreds of dollars every month in medical expenses, while getting by in NYC on one income and no student loans for me until next July, as I'm playing catch up with the work I wasn't able to do last year, because of everything that transpired, and how much it's taken for me to heal from that). This is deeply important to me. My connection with Amma has been the only thing that's given me real solace during the intense difficulties we've been through over the past year or two. At present, I'm just feeling so overwhelmed and fried from almost perpetually being under so much stress. I know that going to the retreat and having that time with Mother would help me immensely...but, given how tight things are for us this year, I don't see how we can afford it on our own right now. So, although I hate asking, I would be most grateful for any degree of help that you might feel moved to provide toward covering the cost of the retreat fee/s and/or airfare for me/us. If you would like to help, you can send a donation of any amount through PayPal (http://www.paypal.com), under this email address: iswari @ nyc . rr . com [remove spaces] (If you're not in a position to help, I completely understand - no pressure. And prayers are always appreciated! =) Namah Shivaya, and blessings, Iswari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
