Issac is a friend of mine, a great young man, an active Catholic, and a friend to many in the southern Maine Catholic community.\u00a0 He works as a self-employed carpenter and fell head-first from a roof he was working on two days ago, and broke 3 vertebrae and suffered a fractured skull.<\/p>\n

Moreover, he lost his health insurance last year due to the changed regulations of Obamacare, faces months of rehab, all the while being rendered unable to earn an income.\u00a0 His friends and family are trying to raise funds to help pay for his medical bills and long rehab.\u00a0 Perhaps you and your readers could help.<\/p>\n

You can read more about his story at the link below:<\/p>\n

I pray that you will be moved to help a fellow brother in Christ, even if only through prayer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Father, hear our prayer for his complete healing and financial provision in Christ! \u00a0Mother Mary and St. Joseph, pray for Isaac and his family.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
