Friends,
You have done it. The goal has been exceeded. In fact, there are contributions because of this post by e-transfer and cheques in snail-mail that is still to be totalled. Thank you so much for your kindness. Frank's funeral costs will now be covered. God bless him and his family at this saddest time for them.
In your charity at this most blessed season, how wonderful would it be to raise this even higher to aid Rose and the children in the coming weeks and months? May God bless you for your kindness and your generosity.

Dear Friends,
I have just received word that my friend Frank is declining quickly now. Your kindness and generosity to this family are greatly appreciated. If not yet, would you consider it so that we can reach the goal and, if possible, exceed it? The funds are to cover the costs of funeral and burial. It would be helpful if there was a little extra.
God bless you.

My dear Catholic Friends,
There are many blogs out there that ask for your money to keep them going. This one does not. I work. I loved the wit of Mundabor last week when he sent out an urgent plea for help - prayers! Yet, here I am today asking you for money, for a family in need.
A friend known to me is in his final agony. Suffering for a number of years from cancer, there is now, nothing further that can be done. He is not expected to see Christmas. God's will be done.
A member of his extended family has created a GoFundMe to assist the family at this difficult time. Frank Furlano is a good man. He is a friend, through family, and a colleague at my workplace. He is kind and jovial and has suffered much. He has a wife and three beautiful children and they are in need.
Many of us are of the attitude of "not one penny" for the wretched churchmen around the world that have done the bidding of evil globalists and shut our churches and withheld the sacraments and shut down the Holy Mass. Not one penny! I ask you if you would consider your normal Sunday Mass donation to the family of Frank Furlano. I assure you, they will appreciate it and put it to good use in these last days.
Now, I know some of you do not wish to have anything to do with GoFundMe. If that is the case, you can write to me at voxcantoris@rogers.com and we can arrange an e-transfer which you can be assured will be sent to the family.
Please join in this Holy Season of Advent in this Corporal Work of Mercy. The family is under great distress.
God bless you and may St. Joseph watch over Frank and bring him a happy death in the arms of Jesus and Mary.

Fundraiser by M G : Frank Furlano's GoFundMe
This GoFundMe account is being created on behalf of Frank's family to help support them during this very difficult time.
Frank Furlano is a 52-year-old father of three beautiful children. Eight years ago he was diagnosed with cancer and underwent extensive surgeries to try and overcome this devastating diagnosis. Frank is a fun and free-spirited person who loves spending time with his children, taking them on daily field trips and cooking fresh and delicious foods! Some of his fondest memories include curling up on the sofa watching a Disney movie with his family, spending the week at Niagara Falls with his wife and children and sharing special milestones like the First Holy Communion of his son.
Frank's wife Rose has been by him during this difficult journey. He also has three beautiful children, Vanessa (age 12), Christopher (age 9) and little Cassandra (age 6). They adore their father and look up to him for everything! In addition to being a wonderful husband and father, Frank is also a caring brother, son, cousin, nephew and friend. His parents and siblings have been helping him alongside his wife during this difficult time, as he has chosen to spend his remaining days at home.
Unfortunately, over the past year, Frank's cancer has taken a turn for the worse. Frank has undergone countless chemotherapy treatments that have left him physically and emotionally drained. He continues to fight; however, he has been given the terrible news that he will not survive this disease. Frank, Rose and specialized professionals have had to have the difficult conversation that he will not be part of the family on Earth much longer. His children have been told that their daddy will not be home for Christmas.
In response to this news, the family is devastated. As they try and make ends meet on a daily basis, this GoFundMe initiative would be used to support the family in paying for the funeral expenses for Frank. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your love and compassion during this difficult time for this family.

Done!
We gave our little bit. Wish it could be more! We are sharing the link and hope that others give, even a little. Imagine 1000 people giving $10.00, how great that would be.
Please Lord, please be with this poor gentleman, having to leave his family in this world, with all its ills. How hard for them to be without him. But you are the answer to all problems we have Lord, be merciful to him, and to them, amen.
I wanted to leave a comment for the family, but I can't see how people do that. There is no option for it that I see. I hope they get enough donations to show them people care.
