Message to readers: 

Thanks to your generosity, my family has averted homelessness for another week and Blog#42 is able to pay its monthly advertising bills. We are very grateful.

We are still, however, in a very difficult position as we are still very far from meeting our goal for the GoFundMe campaign to help my family secure permanent housing.

Your continued support is very much needed and deeply appreciated.

Thank you.
