amazing results from June fundraiser and update

Thanks to Noah, Kelly, and the rest of the Na Gaeil friends and supporters, the June fundraiser on behalf of Michael was the largest and most successful yet.

Michael has to dispose of his savings and other assets now and so has moved into a small apartment near his family in Michigan. It is a private place - and at this time, no mailing address is available. However, well wishes and prayers are welcome....
