Thanks

Added Oct 7, 2011

"Thanks to all who supported our efforts on behalf of the Bernstein family. We were able to secure a used van to replace the one which was totaled a few weeks ago. In the midst of our efforts, Jerry Bernstein umderwent open heart surgery. He is now recovering and doing well. The road ahead now looks a little smoother for this very deserving family. Thanks to all who helped with donations and/or prayers."
