Serenity Saturday
“Peace doesn’t mean that you will not have problems. Peace means that your problems will not have you.”- Tony Evans What a great quote.

Does anyone know of cancer patient supports near Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania?
I'm pretty sure my brother (who has Alzheimers) and my sister-in-law (who's undergoing chemo) could really use some support. I'm up in Boston and work full time so I can't help them until April break. Thank you ❤️
