Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 My mother (who lives with us) just got a thank you also today for her contribution. PLS is not listed at all on the letter and listed next to the purpose of the gift was:Als Neurology Gifts. If we are all contributing and fighting for a cure I think those three little letters need to be there somewhere. No where in the fund raising letter does it mention ALS so I think we are being inconsistent in this cause. This is not a complaint, just an observation. What do you all think?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Moshe, I understand you clearly don't worry about the English we understand.....Sometimes people around us don't understand or don't want to believe that is happening to us they probably are afraid of the unknow. Just be patient with them they will probably come around to the fact of what PLS is all about. Looking forward to your next e-mail..........................Flora /Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Hi its Moshe,not always I like my family and friends attitude to me, but I must admit that my children's educated me saying me what ever happens to you its your problem,believe it or not I doing all my tasks slowly but alone than no one offers help they all know I am independent ad this courses the arounders to to treat this way.I know my English is not correctly the best butt I hope you understand the message Moshe. Re: Contributions , I am glad about that but I was thinking about our attempts to " educate " our friends, family and neighbors. I am thinking it is not consistant to send a fund raising letter saying PLS, PLS, PLS, and then get a thank you reciept saying ALS.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 MOSHE, I HAVE TO GET MY TWO CENTS WORTH IN. I AM AMAZED ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES ARE ABLE TO SPEAK ENGLISH BESIDES WRITE IT. WHERE DO YOU ALL LEARN OUT LANGUAGE? IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS TAUGHT IS THE SCHOOLS? I FEEL THIS COUNTRY IS VERY LAX IN TEACHING OTHER LANGUAGES TO OUR YOUNG. MY MOTHER SPOKE ITALIAN BUT SHE NEVER TAUGHT US. HER BROTHERS & SISTERS NEVER TAUGHT THEIR CHILDREN. I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN ITALIAN NOW BUT THERE IS NO WHERE AROUND HERE THAT TEACHES IS. WHAT A LOSS. I MUST COMPLEMENT YOU ON THE ABILITIES TO SPEAK AND WRITE ENGLISH. I HAVE ONLY ONE LANGUAGE. LOVE, BONNIE Moshe, I understand you clearly don't worry about the English we understand.....Sometimes people around us don't understand or don't want to believe that is happening to us they probably are afraid of the unknown. Just be patient with them they will probably come around to the fact of what PLS is all about.
