Krista, one of our dedicated MUIB team leaders sent me the following email today:
I just received word that Carolyn DiBlasi is in ICU. I have tears in my eyes for this sweet little feisty lady. She is very bad off and needs our prayers.
She has the flu, pneumonia, and possibly had a stroke. This would be her third if it’s the case. The last one wiped out almost half her memory from what I am told.
She desperately needs our prayers!
If you don't know Carolyn, she is one of the funniest and sincere women I know. Please, prayer warriors, please pray for her.
Carolyn was recently chosen for the MUIB member spotlight. Here is a copy of my interview with her:

About You: I'm 62 yrs. old; currently living in NC, but lived most of my life in NYC; Have 2 wonderful sons & 2 beautiful granddaughters. I was a hair designer (different from hairdresser) for 35 years; lived in Manhattan, NY; Hawaii; Paris; & Italy designing hair, make-up & fashion. Now have the blog We Cook With Daddy that celebrates Dads and their kids creating meals and memories together.
About Your Family: My son Frankie (45 yrs. old ) lives in Tucson, Ariz. with his two daughters Ashlee 8 yrs. old, ( born on my birthday ) & Hailey age 6 yrs. old. My son Dennis (36 yrs. old ), lives in San Diego, Calif. and will be a first time Dad in May, 2010.
About Your Faith: I was raised Catholic, though I don't go to church any longer; I DEEPLY believe in God & know how many times in my life He has come to my rescue!!! I pray to Him daily for help & strength! He is my Savior!!
Favorite Bible Verse: This is not a Bible Verse, but I do read it SEVERAL times a day: 'Jesus Makes Suffering Understandable'
He guards the young;He seeks the stray;He finds the lost; He guides the faithful; He rights the wronged; He avenges the abused; He defends the weak; He comforts the oppressed; He welcomes the prodigal; He heals the sick; He cleans the dirty; He beautifies the barren; He restores the failure; He mends the broken; He blesses the poor; He fills the empty; He clothes the naked; He satisfies the hungry; He elevates the humble; He forgives the sinner; He raises the Dead!
Just give me Jesus! He makes suffering understandable!
Prayer Request: For daily strength to get through each day!
Carolyn lives a couple of hours from me, and I am hoping to visit her once she is released from the hospital. I am also making her a blanket, hoping to lift her spirits and let her know that we love and care about her. I am accepting donations to put together a care package to send her, or hopefully deliver to her in person. 100% of donations will be used for the care package. Even if you can only spare $1.00 it would be a huge help!
See, Carolyn is on a very fixed income, and bless her heart, she needs to not have to worry about food and basic needs, especially right now.
More than anything, please PRAY!
Wishing You an Abundance of Blessings,
