Susan Nielsen is almost totally
disabled
with MS (multiple sclerosis),
a weird disease (and a true
dis-ease)
which slowly eats up the myelin
sheath on the nerve cords.
Since 1982 Susan has seen an
ever-decreasing
ability to access her body, limbs, etc.
Now, other people must attend to
the needs and functions of her body.
Susan is so disabled with MS,
that
she cannot even brush her own teeth,
feed herself, get out of bed, get
dressed, etc. etc. without help.
All the things we take for
granted
that we can do with or to our body, she cannot do.
However, there is one thing we
don't take for granted·pure happiness·
which seems "a natural" for her.
That's why I call her an angel.
For the dozen years I have known
her,
she has always had the best of
smiles and attitude.
She never complains; and is a
stunning
inspiration to those of us who feel
depressed, unhappy, miserable,
etc., for such little things
compared to what she must deal
with in her life.
Recently there was a
possibility
of Susan moving to the adobe house, on a property adjoining that of the
Hermitage. However, that move will not need to occur, as things
have
changed positively for Susan in Wisconsin, where she has lived most of
her life, where her twin sons are in college, and also where she can be
visited every weekend by her mom.
How to Help?
Altho Susan does qualify for whatever assistance programs that do exist, nevertheless, her life is always on a shoestring budget, quite often in debt by the end of any month. The hermitage time to time gives her donations of money as well as items useful for better comfort, health or pleasure in life, and so on. Any donations you wish to make on Susan's behalf will be appreciated.
Please send your tax-deductable contribution to:
Samadhi Hermitage for Susan Nielsen
P. O. Box 4164
Santa Fe, NM 87502
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so a receipt will be sent to you for your files.
No amount is too small or too large.
May you enjoy the supreme happiness of helping someone who truly needs help,
and who appreciates it from the very depths of her heart.
Francis Ananda Love
I have always felt it an honor to know and serve this divine angel.
Thank you very much.
