@mamacita We moved me up to this quaint little rural town last week, and now I have internet! We have been met with well-intentioned people, who give me a measure of comfort.
The idea this young boy has, to show acts of kindness, is sadly lacking as a matter of course everyday. Yesterday I went out to our ambulance station, and signed up for both ambulance service and Mercy flight. Being rural, they will take you to closest hospital, which costs almost $3K by ambulance, up to $20K by flight. Unless you have their subscription, which is $84/year including the Mercy flight. As I spoke to the head paramedic, I asked him about donations. He said they are happy to receive them as an offset to the costs. So, that will be a pet project of mine. Wondering if raffling off a quilt will raise some monies for them.....
