For decades, Reverend Ernie has dedicated his heart, wisdom, and compassion to the Centers for Spiritual Living community. Throughout his life, he has unselfishly given his time, resources, and prayers to those in need. Now, Reverend Ernie urgently needs our community to serve as his safety net.
Ernie has been diagnosed with progressive Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. To provide the 24/7 care and supervision he requires, I have stepped away from my career. While the emotional toll is significant, the financial cost of specialized memory care has exhausted our personal resources.
We have launched a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of $250,000 to cover the expenses for specialized in-home care, therapies, and medical needs. Our immediate priority is to keep him safe, comfortable, and active at home.
Here is how you can help:
Donate: Every contribution directly funds his care
Share: Please forward this email or share the campaign link with your congregation, practitioner networks, and spiritual community
Pray: Please keep Ernie and our family in your daily prayers
Thank you for your enduring love, generosity, and prayers.
In deep gratitude,
Mary Chu
