First off... Praise the LORD! Our house is now "conditionally" SOLD and all the other dominoes are falling into place (IE new house conditions, our conditions, and buyers conditions).

What a relief despite the fact that we had to settle for about $30,000 less than we had the house evaluated for a couple years ago. It appears that we should squeek out of this house having lost the money we put into it (including all of our equity, downpayment, renovations, and upgrades we put into the house).

As you are aware, our daughter Becky (the nursing student / age 20) is currently at the Princess Margaret Hopital in Toronto undergoing 7 weeks of radiation therapy for cancer (mucoepidermal carcinoma). In my current situation being unemployed and forced to move and sell our house, with no profit at all due to market conditions) there are some financial expenses not covered by insurance, goverment help, or other sources that she needs assistance with.

I was wondering if you might be able to consider this benevolent need and consider extending some assistance to Becky. Here is her current needs.

$379.80     Dental expenses for radiation treatment (dental trays required for life long daily flouride treatments)
$800.00     School fees unable to pay due to leaving school early and   unable to work
$150.00     Travel costs to hospital and treatments not covered
$100.00     Creams, gel. lotion, mouthwash for sores from radiation, not covered

$1,429.80  TOTAL OUSTANDING    

In addition Rebekah will need to recover following her treatments and will be unable to work for the remaining weeks this summer, leaving her struggling with tuition and school expenses over and above her student loan provisions. It is our intent to set up a fund to assist her in this shortfall.

Thank you for any assistance for Becky you may be able to provide.

Thank you for your consideration.
