UPDATE:

Rick needed to get out of his tent and inside so that his leg infection could heal, he decided to ask this community for help, per doctor's orders!

After reading about Rick on the June 6th FH post, all of you raised enough money for Rick & Greg to stay inside for (8) days at the Everspring Inn on Aurora Avenue, wowWOW!

Rick came to the window a few days ago to give a heartfeltLOVE to everyone for getting him inside when it was touch&go for him, he's so veryVERY grateful.

A communitySIZE LOVE to you Rick, glad to see you smiling!

backHOME:

Back in January all of you helped purchase a bus ticket for Mo to go visit family in Columbus, Ohio; he was having a really tough time of it here, so many of you also sent comments of support, it meant a great deal, thank you.

There's lots going on in Mo's life, he feels like he's constantly fighting an upHILLbattle, he can't understand why it's so difficult.

Mo is now back in Seattle, his trip home was not what he had hoped for; a church there called us and said they would pay for half of Mo's ticket home if we paid the other half, which we did.

It was really great seeing Mo again, getting a bigHUG from a good friend, but sad too, he's still struggling, still suffering as he says.

A bigBIG community LOVE to you Mo.
