<div><div id="ydpb15874fbyiv1201735913"><div>Hi dear friends</div><div>I’m so sorry to have forwarded the fundraising email without having given you the reason behind it. My brother and sister in laws, Tim and Gemma, were in a bad car accident on their way up from New Jersey to visit me in Toronto last Thursday. Tim died immediately and Gemma has 2 fractured hips, a fractured elbow,, the opposite fractured hand and a head injury. So all 4 limbs are incapacitated. They have 6 adult children who have been up here in Syracuse where Gemma has already undergone 3 surgeries for the hips and elbow with lots of pins and plates and a rod down one leg. She may need surgery in her hand as well but so far it’s just in a cast with no weight-bearing. She has 3 weeks ahead at least of ‘acute rehabilitation’ even before she goes home. The kids and my daughter Amanda and I have been here too. We’ve had to stay in hotels and air bnb’s and it’s getting quite expensive as you can probably understand. Amanda and I are ok but at least 2 of the kids will be here with her till she gets home, helping her with her physical needs and everyone with our emotional needs.</div><div>So that’s the story. </div><div>Thanks for your prayers and please don’t feel any pressure to join the fundraising. </div><div>Blessings, Catherine <br clear="all"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="ydpb15874fbyiv1201735913gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p class="ydpb15874fbyiv1201735913MsoNormal"><font color="#141414" face="Georgia, serif"><span style="font-size:16px;">When life wins there will be no losers.
