A Heartfelt Thank You.......

Dear Beverly,     This is just a little update on Robert.  We want to thank all who have come forward to contribute to Robert during this difficult time for him.  You do not know how tremendously such contributions help.  Robert is looking much brighter and stronger than we have ever seen in him before and I know this is due to his basic needs being met.  He has got a bike now and tools to help him continue in his work and all of this is exactly what was needed. If anyone would like to hire Robert for any odd jobs or window washing, etc, I am sure he would be thankful for the opportunity. This is also to mention that his rental for February is due on February 1st, and we are asking once again for any contribution you feel you would like to make towards Robert's fund for this purpose.  Believe me, every little bit helps tremendously.  We are very grateful and it is touching to see the effect your kindness has had on another individual.  Robert is very moved by the care and concern shown by You. Again, the details for contributions to Robert's fund are as follows: RB Fund c/o Beverly Burt  2800 Old Dawson Road  Suite 2 /  PMB 289  Albany, Ga.  31707

                                                                                                                                   The body of one who uses oil massage regularly does not become affected much even if subjected to accidental injuries, or strenuous work. By using oil massage daily, a person is endowed with pleasant touch, trimmed body parts and becomes strong, charming and least affected by old age.

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching, or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.  Emily Dickinson 229.869.0591 503 Pine Avenue   Albany Dear Yoga Friends, This is a mighty thank you for those who have stepped forward for donations for Robert.  All has fallen into place perfectly today and we have managed to secure a small unit.  This is such a huge blessing for him and hopefully his condition will also improve now that he has a warm place to come home to each night, a place to cook his food, a warm bed to sleep in and place to shower each day and do all those things we all take for granted.  Thank you again to you all.  Beverly has today started a bank account in the name of a fund for Robert which will be administered by her.  No one else has access to these funds.   A banking post office box has been issued for this purpose alone.  Again, we ask those of you who are able and feel you would like to help out, to make a small monthly contribution as a donation for Robert that will help to cover his basic needs until such time as his Social Security disability monthly income is approved and Robert can once again have independence.  As Robert's rental is due on the 1st of each month, it would help a great deal if donations could be received by that date if at all possible.  Again, only Beverly will have access to this account, and she will pay the rental and utilities directly from this fund for Robert.  He is very touched and grateful to all of you for thinking of him during this difficult time. Donors are asked to send in their donations to the following address: RB Fund c/o Beverly Burt 2800 Old Dawson Road Suite 2 /  PMB 289 Albany, Ga.  31707 Your contributions are fully tax deductable and you will be provided with a return receipt each month.  Please advise us of your return address when you respond so we will have your information on record and  can then issue timely receipts to you.  Beverly is checking up on PayPal to see if this can be made easier and we will be in touch if these details change. We thank you again, Karen and Beverly

A VERY NEEDY CASE

Inhale, and God approaches you. Hold the inhalation, and God remains with you. Exhale, and you approach God. Hold the exhalation, and surrender to God.  Krishnamacharya                        Kai Yoga. Dear Kai Yoga Students and Friends, I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and ask that you keep in touch. I hope you are all doing well and taking good care of yourselves. This holiday, I would also like to take this opportunity to speak to you about a very important and urgent issue that is at hand. Some of you may already know Robert, who you might have seen riding his bicycle around town with his bucket and pole in hand. Robert was our window washer at Kai Yoga and became very close to us at the studio. We are appealing now for badly needed donations for Robert as he urgently needs shelter. He is severely affected with rheumatoid arthritis in his hands and knees, to the degree of a deformity of his hands that does not allow him to hold any outside employment. He was recently knocked down and robbed of his wallet, income, bicycle and a few kitchen things he had managed to collect for himself and fractured his arm in the process. Robert is totally without shelter or income, and his case falls through the cracks in the welfare system. He does not qualify for public housing as he has no income. We have made sure his case is in the system to try to qualify for Social Security Income, and this is in process but may take some time to come in, although due to the severity of his condition, the case worker is also trying to expedite his case. With this in mind, we are appealing for donations from those touched by Robert's case, and to ask that whoever is able to do so, donate a sum each month to this cause, until such time that his SSI income has started to come in and Robert can once again be independent and care for himself. At this time, he has no shelter and no income.   We have found a small cottage that would be suitable for Robert and the rental is $275 per month. If a few of our friends would be willing to donate a small sum each month, until such time as his Social Security Income has been approved,  this would serve to see Robert through the next few very cold months and would take care of a fellow human's very basic needs at the very least. I know this is a hard and difficult time for everyone, but if you can find it in yourself to commit to any amount, according to your own ability and without adding on any undue burden on yourselves, it would be a very great thing, not only for Robert, but also for yourself; all will be tremendously benefitted. This is a very genuine, urgent and needy case that is standing right in front of us; and I know that if each helps, just a little, that someone we know will at least have a dry and warm bed to sleep in, a place to eat and safe place to stay in the coming cold winter months; something we all already have and must be always grateful for. These funds will be fully protected and accountable by myself and Beverly and can be used as a tax deduction.  Please let us know if you are able to assist Robert.  We are most grateful and thank you for any help you are able to extend. We will be in further touch with information on where to send donations. warm regards, Karen and Beverly
