My name is Sister Mary John, I.H.M. I'm a member of the Daughters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and run the Immaculate Heart Convent  in Syracuse, NY.  We are connected with Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God Academy in Warners New York. This is a traditional Catholic school.  Some of the girls from the school board for the school year here at the convent.  I transport the girls back and forth to school since I teach there as well.  Our 2005, 12 passenger van is on its last legs.  We can purchase a used diesel 12 passenger with wheel chair access for $10,000.00  This shuttle type bus is used but in good condition with a little over 100,000 miles which is good for a diesel.  Weare asking all our friends and their friends to support our efforts to raise this money.  Please consider a small donation. 
We pray for all our friends and benefactors every night during night prayers and will continue to remember you for as long as we continue to exist.  In addition everyone who contributes to this particular project will be remembered in a special novena to the Infant of Prague for their intentions. 
The shuttle costs $9900.
The taxes and dmv costs will be an additional $1000.
Transportation from New Jersey to Syracuse another $1000.  We are estimating the total cost to be $12,000.
