Help for Dean and Mary

Donation protected
Dear friends of Mary and Dean,

On Tuesday night, February 23rd, Dean and Mary were assaulted on their way home.  During the attack, both Mary and Dean sustained blows to the face and head, and Mary was left with a serious concussion and bleeding on her brain.  She is currently hospitalized.  Dean's ankle is badly sprained and he is unable to walk.

Those of you close to Dean and Mary know that the assault came immediately on the heels of Dean's trip to southern California to visit his gravely ill brother, during which time he found out that his mother had died.  This is simply too much of a burden for our friends to bear on their own.

At this time, we don't know how long Mary will remain hospitalized, but we can already forecast medical bills piling up.  In addition, Dean needs help caring for their home and cats, and for his own needs as he heals.

To help our dear friends recover from this violent crime, please consider donating as you are able.  Dean and Mary will use the funds for their medical bills, to pay for Dean's transportation to and from the hospital, to purchase nourishing prepared food, and to assist as necessary with any household needs such as cleaning or pet care while Mary and Dean heal.

If you're a friend of Dean and Mary reading this, surely you've been on the receiving end of their love, heartfelt advice, or open ears and hearts.  Now is the time to help our friends out.  Thank you so much.
