    Would like to know about the Island vacation for my husband and I , we pastor a church in New Brunswick Canada. My husband has a very stressful job taking care of others and their needs, such as funerals, weddings, addictions , marriage problems, broken homes, homeless, helps out were ever he is needed he is always there for families of terminal ill loved ones and so on. We were both raised in this small fishing village but he pastors people as far away 60 miles or more away and sometimes it get over whelming. He has recently been told by his doctor he has MS and other serious illness. We will never be able to afford a vacation such as this one on this private Island but I am writing to see if there is anyway we can put our name in the draw if there is such a thing that you do. He has no clue that I am writing this letter on his behalf just wanted to do something to surprise him and maybe give a rest in mind and body if possible. Thanks for reading this letter and may God Bless you & yours Roanne Cooke
