MESSAGE FROM MARENA: .
Dear Jenny,
Thank you for the lovely testimonial. It brightened my otherwise miserable day. I can no longer sleep laying down. I'm propped up in a sitting posotion with 3 big pillows. If I fall asleep and slump down a bit, I wake up coughing uncontrollably until I have no strength left. It's been like this for the last 4 days. My poor heart just can't take it anymore (the bronchitis and fibrillations are destroying it) So, if you don't hear from me, I'll most probably will have gone to a "better place" and that because of the absence of the lousy finances.
Never mind, don't grieve if you don't hear from me again. You were all wonderful friends, Bless you all...
......Marena.......
"You are my care, my hope and my delight."

Marena urgently needs heart surgery (atrial fibrillation ablation) but it is out of her reach financially. If a wealthy person reads this, please consider sending her the money!

MARENA, otherwise known as 'GROWLING CAT' NEEDS OUR HELP URGENTLY. It would help if you could pass this message on to Marena's friends.

 
Meanwhile, please send Marena and her husband David your love. 
Please pray for her. Pray for a miracle. For healing. For peace.


You might like to light a candle, leave a testimonial or message or comment, send a card, or help with the finances of getting the surgery Marena urgently needs.

I looked into surgery here in Australia but it was still too expensive
