[Magdalen] Prayers PLEASE!

[Jay Weigel]

I'm not a beggar, trust  me, but there is a GoFundMe started by his work
(his company is based in Texas) that Betsy didn't even know about until
late last night. Here's the link if you feel so  moved (and it's okay if
you are not). The picture is so old I don't even recognize some of my
grandchildren! https://www.gofundme.com/5fm3e2-family-lost-home-in-fire
