I received the following e-mail from Fr. Frank Pavone. I ask everyone who can make a donation to do so. I did. But what I am doing most of all, what we ALL need to do most of all, is pray.
Dear Rochelle,
We need your help. Right now.
You’ve no doubt seen the path of devastation that Hurricane Sandy left in its wake. Homes destroyed. Buildings demolished. Hospitals without electricity. Generators failing. No heat. No hot water. No gasoline. No food.
As you pray this Feast of All Saints, please remember the victims of this terrible storm.
Sadly, Priests for Life has not been spared. As you know, our headquarters is located in Staten Island, New York - right at the center of the storm! We lost all power Monday. Our computers are down. No phone service. No fax service. Water damage everywhere. Mail delivery is spotty. No email all week until just a couple of hours ago.
One of our own Priests for Life staff members lost her house (please pray for her). Others are under water. Most have lost their power.
It will take weeks to recover. Or months.

If ever I needed you to give Priests for Life a donation, it is right now.
Please click here and make as large a contribution as you possibly can. Send whatever you can ... $5 ... $10 ... $25. Obviously if you can send more do that.
But the important thing is that you give whatever you can right now.
I have so much to tell you, but no time really.
The big thing right now is LOST CONTRIBUTIONS that we were counting on to fund our last-minute efforts to rally the People of Life all across the country and convince all Americans to VOTE PRO-LIFE ON NOVEMBER 6 ... and in every election!
The storm has cut off mail delivery ... and almost all contributions to Priests for Life. The only donations we’re getting are the few that are trickling in over the Internet.
We were counting on additional donations to fund all of our “Political Responsibility” efforts over this final week of the campaign season.
But Hurricane Sandy has hit us hard, and we don’t know what to do.
Or was it the devil? Is this his work? His attempt to thwart our efforts to end legalized abortion-on-demand in America?
Personally, I cannot help but believe that it is.

Well I refuse to allow him to destroy us or our work! Literally tens of millions of innocent lives are at stake in its outcome.
So rather than wait for the mail to resume and the contributions to pick up I took a leap of faith and decided to go full speed ahead with everything we’d planned for this final week, including:
• My whistle-stop Gospel of Life tour through the state of Ohio, which concludes tonight in Cincinnati
• The pro-life mission trips of our priests and Pastoral Associates to other states
• Our special election programs that continue to air on EWTN
• The final wave of our nationwide “Voter Guides” distribution effort
• A special “Get Out the Vote” video that is being sent to hundreds of thousands of pro-life activists
Speaking of that “Get Out the Vote” video, it was scheduled to go out Monday. Final edits were being made when we lost power. So one of our dedicated staffers spent countless hours WORKING IN HIS CAR to finish up the video and prepare it for viewing. What commitment!
And he’s only one hero.
In spite of the bridges to Staten Island being out, homes flooded and damaged, and lingering flood waters, most of our staff have come to the make-shift office we set up at a local hotel that has power so that they could carry on with the fight to save the lives of our unborn brothers and sisters.
In spite of tremendous personal loss, they are giving everything they have to the pro-life fight.
And that’s what I’m asking of you right now.

Please click here and make an emergency contribution to Priests for Life.
Don’t let the devil and Hurricane Sandy shut down our efforts to advance the cause of life in America.
Make whatever size contribution you can. I don’t care if all you can give today is $10 ... give it.
Make whatever size contribution you can. I don’t care if all you can give today is $10 ... give it.
Please!
We are literally fighting for the survival of the pro-life movement.
Thank you.
And again, please PRAY!!! Pray for everyone suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The devastation is far worse than I can describe. So many need so much help.
But no one needs our help more than our unborn brothers and sisters. Homes and roads can be repaired. Businesses and subways can be rebuilt.
Thank you.

But a life snuffed out in abortion can never be restored.
For their sake I ask you to please click here and be as generous to Priests for Life in this emergency as you possibly can.

Thank you for sharing this important information and call for help and prayer. I'm sorry to hear this, but glad to be able to now begin praying.
As bad as things are, Sandy has probably prevented a number of abortions along the coast - maybe giving mothers extra time to re-think their decisions.
