Greta:
Thank you so much for linking to my “Appeal” post. I had to add a followup “Everybody Stop Sending Money” post just within a few hours!
I am very, VERY grateful to your readers and the FTB community.
I’m also happy that I’ll be able to relate the story in detail someday soon, pointing out that this generosity came not from the faith community, but from freethinkers, agnostics, secular humanists, and atheists.
Thank you all again!
BTW: The hospital says Dad is stable. I’m flying out early AM. I’ll keep you posted on the rest when I can.
