I donated because I can only imagine what Jean, Shelley, & the rest of her family is going through.

I have such empathy for her. If it were my son, I’d do anything to try to help him, just as Shelley is doing.

We got your back, Shelley! Lots of hugs being send your way.

Kat

As Imaberrated said!

The gifts of love and some money is freely given in the hopes Jean can fully recover and at some future time be the giver.

We survived the cult and it makes it even more important to do that.

Before my thoughts, feelings, reactions, and behavior would have been different.

Since leaving I’ve grown the compassion seed in my heart. I regret I never had it before really…that’s not something you are taught or shown in the cult. How would I know how to “do” it?

Now I know. Reading how much Jean and Shelley have actually made the world a better place is enough to try to help with what I can. It’s not much and we don’t expect any response or thanks. Helping people shouldn’t require a “receipt” in our family’s world.

PS: I got blocked/locked out of donating directly to Shelley so it went to you, Mike.

I know them personally and am so thankful and grateful that so many awesome people exist in this world. I too am in touch with Shelley and she is VERY busy trying to organize everything for her son & hopefully he will be in a private hospital soon and will be fully healed. You have no idea how appreciative they are,

Like so many others, I made a small donation and do not want thanks or a repaid loan. I hope that our contributions will help her.

Such wise words, Mike.

I will say this… when I sent my donation I told Shelly that it was being sent “from 1 broken hearted Mom to another.” This sweet woman sent me back an email to offer a kind word and an offer for communication, should I need it! My heart is broken for their situation, regardless of my own.
No matter how much or little one has to help, I truly encourage each of us to donate whatever is possible. PayPal is easiest to use.
COS would do nothing to help this family, let’s show them what true community is in this world! I will also continue to pray for healing and guidance of the Drs. Please join me.

Now people in African countries do the same thing. I’m tired of the USA having the best healthcare and the worst system. We are literally like a third world country if you are not rich!

I’ve learned that by helping another unconditionally I also get returns to me 10x’s over and above. My life is so blessed with health and family and their is NOTHING more important. As a mother I have you in all my meditations and prayers. LOVE

I totally agree. Please concentrate on getting Jean the help he needs. I also do not expect to be re-paid.
