"I'm so sorry. I would love to make a donation, but right now I can only make a donation of prayer. I'm not doing so well. My husband, Randy, passed away almost 8 months ago and I'm living on unemployment, which is all messed up right now and my rent is seriously due and I could be facing eviction. But I thank the Lord for the blessings I do have and only wish you the best, and God bless you for all you do."

God bless you all!" —a Franciscan Media subscriber

DearJohn,

All I can say is, "Wow." The stress in this subscriber's message is palpable, and yet it is so inspiring that she is able to be thankful—for blessings that you have helped support because she can't.

Yesterday, we received almost $11,000 on Giving Tuesday from you, our generous donors. I am in awe, and I am also very thankful. Thank you so much to all 215 people who have already donated. 

With the anonymous match, that is a total of $21,409.44 raised to grow our Saint of the Day content!

It's been a challenging year for us all, some more than others, but know that your donations help feed the spirits of those who could be in the lowest points of their lives.

Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and love. 

God bless,

Margie Powell

Annual Giving Manager
