IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN
SHAMELESS PLUG

With a bit of effort, and a few hours, I've managed to create a little ad for donations to the cause. See the finished product below.

Now that our Megan has arrived safely in Thailand, and should be reaching her final destination in the coming hour or so (5am Mae Sot time), I need to get on with our ongoing fund drive.

As most of you may know, we're not a family with a sizable money tree growing in the back 40, and as a result of ever growing medical expenses, we're unable to financially support Megan in a manner we'd so love to. We're asking for your support, and remind you all that no donation is too small.

To date, Megan's travel expenses, to and from Thailand will be covered. Donations also covered her new Macbook, thus enabling her to stay in touch with us, as well as produce a website and blog. A few more hundred are expected some time soon, but we're continuing to request donations to help cover her daily living expenses, medical and traveler's insurance, etc. If you need a more detailed list of expenses, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Our goal is to provide Megan with as little financial stress to deal with, while she gets on with the demanding work ahead, as a volunteer. Please join us in this effort. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.

If you would like to make a donation or provide ongoing support, simply go to www.paypal.com and make a donation to megabroad@gmail.com . Donations are made safely and securely via PayPal. Your donation will go directly into her PayPal account, which is directly linked to the special bank account set up for donations. She will be able to access that account from her new "home away from home", in Mae Sot, Thailand.

It's really that simple! If you're new to PayPal, all you need to do is register, then click on SEND MONEY, and you're almost done. If you have any questions, concerns, or need assistance, please don't hesitate to email me at chezclavier@gmail.com . If you, your church or organization would like to "sponsor" Megan for the coming 6-8 months, please let us know. Megan would be happy to keep in touch with you, and provide you with a monthly newsletter.

OTHER POSSIBILITIES

Want more bang for your buck? grin We're tossing about the idea of creating some artful things folks can buy, with the proceeds going toward Megan's expenses. More info on this as it comes available.

In closing, we can't thank enough our family, friends and those of you who are following from abroad, for all your kind and caring words of support. During this stressful time with Tony's cancer, it helps knowing you're there for us, including our Megan. Much love to you all, PitterPat and Fr. Tony
