I feel odd and selfish by posting this, but please know that I am not trying to be greedy or selfish. My friends have put a lot of time and work into this to help out Tony and me with the expenses of this situation. Please do not feel obligated in any way. Being my friend and caring for me is enough. I appreciate all my family and friends. Thank you!
Don't feel odd & selfish. Your friends want to help and you would be doing them a disservice if you didn't let them. Although it is humbling, it is also a picture of what the church is suppose to do. Take care of it's people through it's people. Wish I could be in Joplin that day, but I can't. However I will see about future events. Love ya.
