Sue Silverstein is my sister from another mother, she and I are partners in organizing help for the refugee students and family at Bishop Maginn High School. She is the theology and art teacher at the school, her devotion to the students has inspired so much of our work.
She wrote this after I sent her another batch of Price Chopper Gift Cards and I asked for help for a very needy Bishop Maginn High School Student and her desperate family.
Her e-mail is [email protected] if you wish to respond.
She asked me to pass this message along for the Army Of Good:
“Surely 6 months ago, no one expected the world would be as it is. These are difficult times for all of us. Many have been impacted by illness, economic hardship, isolation, and so much more.
Each story is different.
So many of our families live on the edge during normal times.
Hard-working, loving, generous people, they are now facing tremendous loss. They are the first to offer help to another and the last to ask for help.
I can’t thank the Army of Good enough for all that you have done. You have allowed us to make sure no child goes hungry, no family is unassisted.
Most important though, you have let our families know that no person in our Bishop Maginn Family will be forgotten! Bless you, all, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
With much gratitude,
Sue Silverstein and the BMHS Family”
The thanks go right back to you, Sue, you are as close to an angel as I will ever find on this earth, it is a joy to know you and work with you.
