An Odd Post

|
The woman at right left a link to her blog in a comment box a couple of days ago. Generally when there's just a link to a site with no comment, it's spam, and perhaps that's all this is. I honestly don't know if this is a scam sent by a spambot or a desperate woman who stumbled onto a post with a Madonna & Child and took a shot that a fellow Christian would help her.

The site looks convincing, and tells the story of her little child, Mattia, born with a heart defect that left her without oxygen for several minutes at birth --and therefore severely palsied. The family is trying to raise money for treatment for the child at a special clinic in Florida which has had success teaching such children to walk and speak.

The site's in Italian and I don't know more about it than that, but in an effort at least not to block the action of the Holy Spirit, I decided to call your attention to it. You never know. And prayers for the folks in the picture can't go amiss in any case.
