Fund Raising for New Vehicle 
 
From Sandra Schriefer, Tong Ren therapist, regarding my son, Rob.
 
I am the Tong Ren practitioner who does the 3 Conference Calls and GP Class at Swampscott Church of Spiritualism for Thyroid and Endocrine System every Tuesday.
For the past five years we were blessed with a gifted, 11 year old van from GLSS of Lynn that they use to transport the public. When they purchase new vans, they give the old ones away and fortunately my daughter, Danielle knew someone who worked there so she was able to get one for Rob for $1.  Before this Rob could use his quickie wheelchair and we could get him in our vehicles and take turns.  Due to his degeneration from the Friedreich's Ataxia, he can no longer get around in his easy fold up chair.    He now has an electric wheelchair so that is impossible without a van.  His van is not dependable and breaks down all the time.  The lift has been repaired more times then I have fingers.  I jokingly call the van the money pit.  It has served us but needs to be put to rest and we need to have an easy access so that anyone can take Rob out for pleasure, shopping, get to GP Classes or appointments he needs so Rob is not always stuck in the house. 
 
Thank you and bless you for any support to raise the money to make Rob's dream come true with having a new, safe handicapped van.  I know that money is tight these days for many of us so even if you can print this flyer and put it someplace where others may have the means, we thank you.  Your prayers are welcome too!
If you live in the area and can join us for the event, you can come and meet Rob and join in the music, dancing, raffles, auction, food and a cash bar.
Thank you for your support!
Donations for our raffles and auction are welcome!
Blessings in Abundance!
Love and Light in All you Think, Say and Do!
