It still took a few more days in coming but I think my prayers are starting to get an answer. For the first time in a long time I feel like I am not the only one who both cares about the people I care about, and was in a position to help.

I want to give big big thanks to everyone who contacted me either directly or indirectly to lend their support. But especially I want to thank a person I only know as YooMe, for knowing things I did not know and offering a kind of help that I could not offer myself.

A lot of work remains, but tonight I will go to bed with more hope than I have had in a while. And for that I am so very grateful.

ETA I'm told a lady names Sara is also very significantly to help. Sara will likely never read this journal but I still felt I should mention her.
