Dear readers of this blog. Earl had asked me to see to getting the financial link happening. So far it hasn't. Something about people not answering their phone on the long weekend after Summer camp. Following is the cover letter which was to appear on the financial link to this blog.Thanks to all for the overwhelming encouragement and practical support.
sincerely,
Tim Reimer
Medical Alert
Aug. 3/06
In July of 2006, Ramona Reimer was diagnosed with an aggressive soft tissue cancer named Sarcoma. After several tests in Winnipeg her doctor referred to her cancer as incurable.
After much praying and researching we have decided to seek further medical help at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. An appointment has been made for Monday, August 7. The hope and prayer is that what Mayo offers will prove helpful.
Mayo is a private clinic. Our medical insurance does not cover expenses incurred there. Many friends have already shown interest in sharing in what may become a huge medical bill. A fund has been established which will serve as the official way through which anyone may participate financially. The fund is at the Arborg Branch #567 of the Canadian Bank of Commerce; account number 72-44533. Donors may deposit funds directly from anywhere into this account or send donations to fund manager Dan Reimer Box 1311 Arborg, MB R0C 0A0.
Costs are highly unpredictable. The initial expense of several thousand dollars has been covered by generous donations already. There is no urgent need for funds at the time of this writing. However, costs may escalate soon so interested donors are invited to keep in touch through the financial info link of Earl and Ramona’s blog: earlramona.blogspot.com.
With the eager interest shown by friends combined with the unpredictable nature of the amount of funding required we have decided that in the event that more funds come together than needed the extra monies will be forwarded to Cancer Research in Canada.
The prayerful generous support shown by numerous friends has been deeply encouraging. May God reward all of you!

I haven't had a chance to check this blog in awhile, but I just wanted to let you guys know that I have still been thinking of you and praying for you.
I put a link from my blog to yours and I know several friends of mine have read it and are now praying for you as well.
I'm glad to hear that you guys got to go back to camp again, and I really pray that everything goes well as you travel to Mayo Clinic.
Have you looked into setting up a Paypal account? As I recall (I haven't used mine to receive funds in awhile) it's either free receive or next to free.
Paypal lets anyone with an e-mail address send you money. E-Bay uses it as its primary money-transfer system, and I've never had any issues using it.
More people may contribute if all they have to do is click click and you're done, so I think it's worth checking out. More info can be found at www.paypal.com
