a benefit for our friend Wendy

Our dear friend Wendy Weihs was recently involved in an accident on the treacherous Los Angeles freeways--
& her medical bills are gruesome.





We are throwing a benefit for her this week. People have gathered together items and we have posted them over on Facebook...click HERE for a view.
Thanks to Connie F. who makes this comment:

"If only people could know that a life of goodness, no matter how modest, will lead to an eternity of unparalleled bliss, they would ask themselves why they did not do more good while they were on Earth. One act of kindness in this world is repaid tenfold in the next..."
