Believe Project: Mundelein woman wants to pass $100 to her struggling sister

Today's recipient of a $100 bill through the Believe Project is Barbara Tweed of Mundelein. Here is an excerpt of her story:

"My younger sister, a senior who lives alone, had surgery about 12 years ago to remove her coccyx, and she has been in debilitating chronic pain since then. She can't sit for a lengthy time but must either stand or recline. She has seen many specialists who offer little relief.

"Recently she has experienced painful urinary tract spasms, and again the doctors aren't able to alleviate or control the pain. She suffered a heart attack two years ago. She fights depression and loneliness. Her only income is from a small pension and Social Security.

"Her 17-year-old car was totaled on Thanksgiving and she can't afford car payments, so she must now rely upon good Samaritans for rides to her medical appointments.

"She loves Jesus and would be joyous to receive your inspirational gift which represents him and the love I feel for her."

• The Believe Project is awarding at least $100 each day in December to people with good ideas for how to use the money to do a good deed for someone else.
