When our e-mail and letters went out asking for support for our health reimbursement for Marie Angele and Jean, we promised to report back to you, It has been a little over two weeks. In that time, we have had 46 people respond and we have raised $ 10,045 with more pledged in the upcoming months.
  Our Board has been deeply touched by your support and the awareness of how far-reaching the community of Eremos has become. 
  You have given selflessly, from your heart, and we are deeply grateful for your gift. Not only your gift of money, but your gift of caring. Your willingness to share with us, at a time when we need it, has touched us in a profound way. 
  We really do need each other and it is in times like these that we have the opportunity to hold each other. Albert Schweitzer said, Sometimes our own light goes out and is rekindled by the spark from another person. Each of us has cause to thank with deep gratitude those who have lighted the flame within us.
  You have lit our flame in ways you can’t even imagine. We asked and you responded. And through this exchange, we hope you are able to receive the light we hold for each other. Through your gift, you have blessed us; and through your gift, may you be blessed in return.
  Thank you for your generosity,
