Salisbury Mills, New York—

We returned home from Christmas Eve Services and found a lovely tea light star and a jar on my front mat. Upon carrying them into the house, we discovered the jar was full of change and bills, and gift cards.

To say I was surprised is an understatement; I was speechless and I am never speechless. We have no idea who could have done this wonderful thing and it overjoyed me to think that someone took the time and effort to do this for me. I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertention in 2006; I just was listed on the lung transplant list in NY. My last year has been a struggle as I have tried several medicines and treatments that havent worked. My entire family was with me this Christmas and this blessing was a real encouragement to us all-we are not alone, and the journey we are entering into we will not go alone. I am so thankful.
