Mendoza, Rodrigo’s grandson created a
GoFundMe fundraiser
for his grandpa to help cover the cost of medical treatment.
I personally pray that the outpouring of love and money to Mr. Rodrigues, through the Gofund me page, will soften his beaten soul. At least he can know that, though some humans will act like monsters, many many more will act like angels.
I have sent money to Rodrigo and my prayers for a speedy recover along with a plea that he NOT loose faith in the human race. We must all accept that some human beings will act as if their blood were made of evil, yet we must never stopped having faith that many more, have blood that runs love.
My message this week, my friends is to think deeply about this truth of life, that goodness shines its value wherever it is expressed, as does evil and unkindness.
No one can deny their impact on our world.
We must first fight evil where ever it shows its face and we must insure that indifference and inaction are never permitted in our circles of life, for indifference aids only evil.
Ellie Weisel once wrote,
“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
Please follow the Gofund me page for Ronaldo, lets show some love from B’nai Israel for a sweet old man. It is not easy to endure such a trauma at his age. I pray, we all must all pray, that this will not break his spirit and end his life. It will not be easy to recover.
The roller coaster will continue as life is known to do. Know yourself and know your commitment to actively pursuing peace for all, absolutely nothing less will do.
Shabbat shalom,
