Sihapada’s Health

From Order Connection on Wed, 11 Nov, 2020 - 16:51

Dear brothers and sisters in the Order,

I just wanted to let you know that Sihapada, who lives in Sheffield, has severe anaemia which is being managed with regular blood transfusions. She has weakened considerably over recent months and in the summer moved into a care home where she is well looked after.
