Joey,

Since being burned last June, I have had 5 skin grafts and 5 surgeries. Between the surgeries and follow up appointments at Mass General Hospital, I have found myself on Cape Ann once or twice a month. Being treated as a "local" by the community has been wonderful. My friends are having this fundraiser to help me with my expenses as I have been out of work 7 of the last 10 months and when I am back to work, it is only part time until the next surgery. Bob and Dave from VINTAGE @ 211 East Main St. Gloucester was kind enough to donate a 100% wool hand knit Irish sweater towards the raffle. Thank you Bob and Dave. If anyone else wishes to donate or contribute a raffle item/gift certificate, I will be back in the area, May 9-10 and I could pick up at that time. Or they could be mailed to the p.o. box address on the fundraiser information sheet.

As always, post all, some or none.

thank you, Joey,

Lisa Cardinal

Boston Marathon bombing victims face daunting uninsured costs

Dear Joey,

I’m not sure what the appropriate format is to submit this to you at GMG, but there is a small window of opportunity to target help for these innocent victims. The NYT just published this article this morning:  http://mobile.nytimes.com/2013/04/23/us/for-boston-victims-price-of-recovery-may-be-another-burden.xml?f=19

One Fund Boston has been established by Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino, and it accepts PayPal, credit cards and checks. I’ve already posted this on my FaceBook account.

Thanks, Rick Isaacs
