Relying on the kindness & open hearts of strangers-please help!

I need your help . . . well, actually my partner and I need your help.

He has been going through a divorce recently, and his wife, in her own fear, has chosen to make his life situation extremely difficult, stating at one point that she did not want him to have contact with his child and wanted to see him suffer and die. Needless to say, he has been dodging a barrage of toxic arrows.

One of the arrows is allegations that he abused his child and a friend by exposing himself to them. She brings these felonious charges from Jan. of 2008. She has made his life (and mine too) financially difficult. On top of that, we care for his 55-year-old developmentally challenged sister, Lala (I think she is a saint). I have to be here to attend to her and to continue to work. Whew!

I took him yesterday to be arrested in Florida for these charges. We could not afford the exorbitant bail and charges, so we prepared for him to be incarcerrated. If was a difficult thing to take him there. All the while I was ministering to him. But as I left to drive back to Atlanta to home and Lala, I realized that he does not have a single friend that could visit him in that area. The area is Green Cove Springs, Florida, and is adjacent to Orange Park. The facility where he is located is the Clay County/Green Cove Springs Jail, 901 North Orange Avenue, Green Cove Springs, FL 32043.

SO, I'm asking any of you who might be in or near the area, if you'd be willing to open your hearts, show up and just visit him. Can you stand in the fire with us during this difficult time? Are you willing to show up? Carla had suggested that I ask Religious/Spiritual groups in the area, to put it out on GAIA, and to ask friends to ask friends . . . to look everywhere.

My practice has been my awareness and sometimes it comes in the form of a person, someone to give attention, kindness, compassion to. So, I'm placing my tender awareness here, to ask you, or you, or you . . . for help. I do rely on the kindness of strangers now. Also, if you are unable to help in a physical way by visiting him, you may also assist in holding awareness/praying/meditating . . . whatever you do with your open heart - hold it for this one who is all alone now, but yet is surrounded by such loving and conscious people and spirit.

If you'd like to explore the possibilites of perhaps visiting Jeff, you may send me a message at http://mail.satyaseer.gaia.com .

I so apprecaite the time you've taken to read this, and your consideration, and your awareness surrounding this. I'm an open door for all suggestions and help.

THANK YOU (Bowing to each of you Buddhas)
John
