Dear family and friends,
It has been awhile since I last posted anything. It has been a difficult month for Mercy League Dominican Republic... Well, more specifically the Gomez family in Puerto Plata.
William and Jacquie Gomez are friends and partners with Mercy League. William was involved in a motor-vehicle in May that ended in the death of a young man driving a motorcycle. William is devastated. He was put in prison, and settled with the family. He will be paying settlement to the family of the young man. This was settled quickly as the family of the young man was known to William (he and the boys father were acquaintances through the ministry in the area).
I was unsure how to approach this topic, and have been waiting for things to settle down a bit. I called William several times and tried to commit some time to encourage him through this difficulty in his life.
William is carrying on with his work to the poor in the Dominican Republic, though I am sure that he and his family could use ongoing encouragement.
If you would like to send William some encouragement please email him at:

Keep the faith,
Shane
