I am asking if this could be posted in the state newsletter and state website.  The below is from Matthew Zahn Aunt Lenora.  Matthew Zahan is a member of Council 92 As you can see Matthew has been through a lot.  There is help needed below for fall clean up.  It would be great if a large group of Knights can get together to help clean up the yard it would be great. If they can reach out to me and Matthew Aunt on help that would be great.  I plan to go this Saturday morning a bit after 11am to see what I can do for the cleanup.

Vivat Jesus!

 Good Morning Rene,
I hope all is well at your end.  I am reaching out to you in the hope that you maybe able to coordinate some help for Matt.  He continues on his recovery.  He is at dialysis 3 days a week and just has begun the transplant evaluation. 
Mieko is trying her best to keep up with all of paperwork , kids, school and Matt’s appointments in Boston.
She is still applying for long term disability. It took over 6 months for her to receive any income because Matt’s cognitive status made him ineligible to sign legal paperwork.
My sister has been carrying them financially.  That is a burden she can only handle for so long.
In addition, she just spent 10 days in the hospital with a ruptured and gangrene appendix.
Soooo, getting to my thought about helping Matt.  Their yard needs a fall clean up.  We have been so occupied with Claudia and going back and forth to the hospital that the last few weeks have slipped by.
Is that something that you may be able to coordinate with other Knights of Columbus members? Their yard is rather large.  If this is too much, we totally understand. Mieko doesn’t like asking for help.  I explained there are still many people who want to help but do not know what to do.  Please let me know your thoughts and again we understand if this isn’t in the cards.
I will also try contacting a few other potential resources.
Regards,
Lenora
