Help please...

I am publishing online this email from our e-group, hoping that a surfing generous soul might read the appeal for help. The message goes like this:

Good morning brothers and sisters!

I was awakened at 4 in the morning today from a 3-page text message from Marge Sacaben, reiterating her appeal for financial help for the dialysis of her husband Leo (both are Familia members of Northern Samar).

I was having difficulty editing the text message so I have decided to forward this via email, hoping to reach as many people as possible.

For a backgrounder, this is the 5th appeal received and the 1st 4 were forwarded via text. Leo have been in and out of the hospital for almost a year now. They have also been recipients of financial help from brothers and sisters who responded to their appeal.

Here are the text messages in full which I have received since June 17:

Brothers and sisters, it is obvious that they are in need of financial help for their medical expenses. They also need our prayers. They also need our loving presence.

The Sacabens are presently residing at # 21 Sto. Niño St., Tawiran Extension, Baranggay Santolan, Pasig. Marge can be contacted thru cell # 09103261922.

God bless you all brothers & sisters.
