Friends and Illness

by Gallia Taranto
Scarsdale Meeting

I have had, among other things, three bouts with cancer. I started pretty young with breast cancer.

Having a community of Friends has been valuable in my plight, as have different meditation practices.

When I see the situation of the world I feel very blessed to get medical help even though now, on Medicaid, the choices are sometimes limited.
