The times we live in

My mother Caroline Ainuu lives in Samoa which was recently hit by an earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Already saddened by the destruction surrounding her, she has just lost her husband and is alone and in need of help. She was born in Western Samoa and now resides in American Samoa. She is not a citizen of the U.S. and has had difficulties trying to return to California to be with her children and see her grandchildren that she has yet to meet.

She is alone and without means to support herself and with the island in shambles the potential of finding a job is slim. We ask for all of our friends and family and anyone else who might read this post to please offer prayers on her behalf. We need to get her to California so that we (her children) can take care of her. Life is truly unpredictable. This experience has taught me that truth. There is only one constant in life and that is the everlasting truth and comfort that comes from living the Gospel of our Savior. If any of you know of anyone who might be able to help us in this predicament please let us know. Thank you.

Mese,
You are in our prayers. I have dear friend who was a congressional aid and is very well connected. He is now working for one of the county supervisors but he knows people and how government works. I copied your blog and just emailed it to him. Does she/you need money for travel or just a legal way to enter the country? I will let you know if/when i hear from Verne. Call me at 951-687-2176 and tell me how to get in touch with you. okay. We love you, Barb and Kent Davis

Poor dear... The difficulties with the loss and having to make adjustments are difficult enough. The last thing you need is this. I sincerely hope things work out for you.

Faith, Hope and Love plus hard work leaves many of us satiated but sometimes worn out. We all need to take personal time for ourselves once in a while.I wish you and your family everything life has to offer.
