Ciara was born with Spinal Bifida and is a very lucky woman to have lived this long in her challenging life. She is confined to a wheelchair, because she is paralyzed from the waist down. She depends on her electric wheelchair as her feet. As she gets older she has more appointments in Boston to see physicians who care for patients with Spinal Bifida. Also she wants to be able to go on outings to the communities like the mall, movies and park.

This is why she is in need of a handicap-van to take her to her needed appointments.

If you want to contribute please send donations to: Jeanne D’arc Credit Union, c/o Handicap-Van Fundraiser for Ciara Rosario, P.O. Box 1238, Lowell, MA 01853 or stop by any of your local Jeanne D’arc Credit Union locations.

If you have any questions you can contact Ciara’s mother Enid at 978-596-7570.
All proceeds to benefit Ciara for a much needed handicap-van.

Thank you for your support!
Ciara & Family

“A Taste of Chocolate” to help Donna Sullivan

“A Taste of Chocolate” will be held from 4 to 9 p.m. Thursday, May 23, in the parish hall at St. Francis Church, 115 Wheeler Road, to benefit Donna Sullivan and her family, whose medical expenses are mounting from Donna’s breast cancer treatments.

As a nurse at Saints Medical Center for more than 30 years, preschool aide, volunteer in the community, and “second mom” to many, Donna has spent her lifetime helping others. Organizers aim to pay it forward through chocolate.

No tickets will be sold and there will be no admission fee but free will offerings in any amount will be accepted. All proceeds go directly to the Sullivan family’s medical expenses not covered by insurance.

“A Taste of Chocolate” also features a Penny Candy Room for children, raffles and a handmade quilt door prize. For more information on donating to the event or to make a donation to the family fund, email Debbie Hovanasian at debhovan@comcast.net.

Celeste and Sydney were badly injured in the blasts at the Boston Marathon on 4/15/13. Sydney suffered severe injuries as a result of being hit with shrapnel and Celeste has lost both her legs below her knees. There is a long road ahead – both physically and emotionally – and we’re hoping to relieve some of the financial burden by raising funds in their name. Please help spread the word and donate if you can. The outpouring of emotion and support has been nothing less than amazing and the family is extremely grateful for your prayers and warm words.

Here is the website to make a donation

In the mist of the craziness in Boston, I need to beg you to take a minute out of your day and send your God a prayer for the recovery of a friend. He’s young, a loving dad to two girls he adores and a loving wife who is truly his soul mate.

He’s a son who takes care of his MOM and whose Mother can’t believe the situation he is now in. He choked and lost conciseness and hasn’t woken up since Tuesday Night.

He’s in a coma and the doctors don’t know when or if he will wake. He has helped many and now he needs us all to ask whatever God we believe in to bring him back to his family.

Please take a moment, say a prayer and ask your GOD to bring him back to his family.

Thank You
