"I heard you can fix my eyes."

Back row: Sonny, team leader Wendy Black-Nasta and Jesse with Vi in front

Michael, are you reading this with glasses? What if you had poor eyesight and no access to eyecare as a child? Imagine never seeing the world around you in focus. Struggling in school and feeling hopeless because you can’t read books or see what the teacher is writing on the board. Would YOUR life have turned out the same?

Here's a story for you:


It was the last day of the first Native Eyes clinic in 2018, when two sisters walked in all alone. The younger, 12-year-old Jesse, bravely stepped forward and said:

“I heard you can fix my eyes.”


She was failing in school and knew her main issue was that she couldn’t see properly. The siblings had a difficult home life and their parents had not registered them for the free eye exams. Jesse realized if she wanted to get help, she would have to go to the eye clinic herself.



The team was deeply touched by Jesse’s initiative and wasted no time in examining Jesse and her big sister, Sonny. As expected, both girls had poor vision.

The first clinic in 2018 focused on adults, but divine intervention dramatically changed the course of the project. When entire families showed up, the doctors also examined the children. What they discovered was almost unbelievable: 94% of all children had terrible astigmatism. It was clear that the Tribe had been afflicted with poor eyesight for generations. How different their lives could have been!





When we found out about this project, we knew that Padre Pio would want to help! In 2019, the PPFOA sent staff member and registered nurse Krissy to travel with the Native Eyes Clinic and see the impact of this project first-hand. When she returned, Krissy (pictured) had tears in her eyes as she shared her experience and how grateful everyone she met was to receive the precious gift of clear vision.

Since then, your support has allowed a large team of optometrists, ophthalmologists and opticians from across America to bring vision care to the Rosebud Tribe for two weeks each year. Thanks to YOU 8,000 children, adults and seniors have already received free eye exams and prescription glasses.


The medical team donates their time and expertise and is able to source free frames and lenses for this life-changing project, but they still need $42,000 worth of essential equipment. This equipment is an investment in the Tribe’s future and will last for years. 


This is why they need YOUR help.


Padre Pio told us, “Charity is the measure by which our Lord judges all things.”  {First Name} 100% of your gift, no matter the amount, will go towards equipping the traveling clinic and the team with all they need to examine the children and make their corrective glasses. Together, we are not just providing vision care, but changing the children’s future. There are no limits to what these kids will be able to achieve with perfect vision because of your charity and kindness. ❤️

Will YOU help us provide much needed eyecare for the children of the Rosebud Tribe? Click here to learn more!


Rosebud was the final word in Citizen Kane, this is a tribe or Red Indians as we used to call them

Magnetic Storm in the Skies

Magnetic Storm in the Skies

you can read about it in your newspapers

it may explain the noise in my head

I missed a family gathering yesterday Easter Sunday

as my head was everywhere

it still is right now

BUT

a stem from a rose I planted last year

gave us an unexpected Red Rose in the garden

and I just looked today

it looks like a plant has appeared

so we may have a couple of red roses this year

so I'm happy

despite the noise and pains I have

that's enough

Panama is reading on my Wordpress and three Bloggers today

so hello to YOU

you may be on a container ship, I do not know

but michaelgcasey@hotmail.com

I know that it will take the prayers from una abuelita to tip the balance and stop

Putin’s war. 1,000,000,000 Rosaries we can do it. Double or triple that

So please do it for Peace in Ukraine

Miguel, my priest who became a Bishop called me Sancho Panza long ago

maybe 50 years ago, so abuelitas do the Rosary for Peace in Ukraine

I cannot promise you’ll like my stories, but there are 1000s of them

Hasta Luego Pac en Ukraine por la virgen

God's Betting Shop

God’s Betting Shop

   Uncategorized   4 Minutes
God’s Betting Shop ©
By
Michael Casey

God walks amongst us, he is with us and for us, and against nobody, he does not give us riches here on Earth, he is not is one Faith, he is many and all Faiths and none at all. He does not help people become super rich, and despise the Leper, in fact he prefers the Lepers of Society, Society Matters to him, it his cuddly little teddy bear.

So a Betting Shop is indeed where God hangs out, he’s up the corner sweeping up the betting slips, he is the kid banging the thieving fixed odds machines that steal our money. In the old days the Gambling Shops used to boast, this establishment is air conditioned for your comfort. SMOKING was still allowed in them, gut wrenching smoke was everywhere, little wonder I for one never entered such a place. I think I did once to put a bet on the Grand National for my dad, it felt like going into a STD clinic or Brothel, I did not want to be spotted entering or leaving.

The irony is decades later I became a Trainee betting Shop Manager, one shop had a locked fire door from the outside, my life, the punters lives were not worth one month’s salary, about £1000, though there I earned much less. So what about God as he watches our despair as we pull our hair, know we shouldn’t be there. The Angels and the Saints are all crowded in around him watching those who have lost their way.

There is some Joy and Hope, and friends meet to place a bet then grab a pint of poison, or a real drink, before the wife kicks up a stink, you were supposed to buy Hush Puppies in the sale for the kids before school resumed after the Summer Hols. Instead you put money on a horse called Rose, because your wife’s religious calendar said it was Saint Rose of Lima’s saint’s day. Now you have lost everything, so she will strangle you with her Rosary beads.

Rose of Lima, looks and says God will you Bless Him, for sake of his children’s shoes. God says nothing, the man leaves and stumbles his way home. He helps an old lady carry her heavy bags to the bus stop. He even helps her on the no.11 bus by Saint Mary’s, as she gets on she drops an envelope full of cash. She does not notice, salvation is before him in the gutter. The man is tempted, but he bangs on the side of the bus and hands the old lady her money. God Will Bless You, she says her piercing blue eyes look directly into his.

The man gets home and his wife kisses him tenderly. But,but, but he does not understand. In the living room there are packages galore. It’s like Christmas. Where did these come from? Your friend the old lady came by hours ago with her daughter Rose, they brought everything, they said you did them a big favour, they brought all this. His wife described the old lady. It was the one he helped only a few minutes ago. The man’s head swum. He could not understand.

As he ate his dinner, his children, were so happy, the man was confused. The old lady said you had saved her son Martin years ago, the man’s head swum, what was going on. Many years ago he’d saved somebody’s life by putting his fingers in the stab wounds to stop him bleeding to death. But he’d never met the old woman till today, a few minutes ago, what was going on what was going on.

After dinner his wife handed him an envelope, it was the very same one he’d returned to the old lady when she had dropped it. There was £5000 in it, plus a note. All you need is love, and you have such a beautiful family. Today we have placed a bet on your Future. Martin is my “son” just as your are, he has been praying for you every day of his life, he has been made Bishop today, and he is still praying for.

In the Betting shop, the old lady dropped an envelope the exact same one the man had, but now it appeared to hold nothing but a Rosary made of string and knots. Nobody noticed, all except God, Mum I can refuse you nothing, the Prayers you say Tomorrow will have helped Yesterday. I know Son, but it is Rose of Lima’s feast day and I did not want the man’s children to go barefoot.
