That's quite all right, Father...I think I found it:
Dear in Christ: Glory to God. 2 other folks did send us help, but I cannot wait any longer...Fr. Matthew for last month has been doing well, but we are completely without food. local food bank give us something to last couple days, we ARE VERY DESPERATE..dear friends..it is because Fr. Matthew is diabetic, he needs vegetables, carbohydrates, this turns into sugar....must have for his diet, and we ask someone please send western union to me: Raymond Tryon is my secular name, I will pick up in minot, north dakota, but u must send me your name, amount you will send and from what city and state you are sending it...please, Fr. Matthew can go into diabetic shock and die, once he is stabilized , Fr. Matthew and I both get jobs in world, must do so, even though we are ill and sick, we only ask your help so we can be self sufficient in future.....we have been too ill to respond Fr. Deacon Nikolai, but be assured we are very grateful to you for your love and prayers...and we ask all to pray for us. We have not received but from about 4 people on the list and we are grateful Brethren.....Please, for the love you bear Christ our God and the all pure Mother of God and Holy Orthodoxy, be merciful and help so Fr. Matthew won't have to go back to hospital in a diabetic coma..please, I beg you on my knees. Thank You. Stavrphore Monk Fr. John (Raymond Tryon) secular name....please email me: oldbelieverskete@yahoo.com or monks@srt.com so I know you are sending funds via western union...or you can send check: Holy Nativity of the Theotokos Skete
P.O. Box 325
Karlsruhe, ND 58744-0325
God Bless You. Your note means more to us than silver or gold, just to know you are praying for us, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.....If you know anyone who wants to buy our property, please let us know...if we don't get help soon, we must sell, give our pets to no kill shelter, and where then? We abandon ourselves to Most Holy Trinity.
We both are almost 6O yrs. old, if this stress could be eliminated, we could get jobs, but right now, Fr. Matthew doesn't even have medicine he needs...he has insulin, but without 3 medicines, he can have heart attack or stroke if he goes off his meds and he doesn't have funds to purchase those meds, so your prayers mean more to us than you will ever know......a monk can beg if he must, all monasteries on their web sites sell things, yes, but also they have that donation button as well....we await social security and ssi ruling and as you know that can take even couple years...we hope to set up website, but don't have any money to stock with items to sell, so your prayers mean everythig to us dear Reader. Charity also includes prayer, and May the Holy Spirit whose divine unction is with us orthodox, May He grace you for your gift of your prayers....we are eternally grateful for your prayers dear friend and Brother in Christ. In our Christ God , the most Holy Mother of God , the Theotokos and all our Light Illuminating Saints...
