I wanted to let you know I am in the final week of the campaign to help this family. Please see my blog post on October 13th for more details.
Michael is still struggling and is in the hospital indefinitely. Some people have been extremely generous and I thank them. However, as we get closer to Christmas it is getting very difficult for this family to have any left over funds for any kind of celebration. I am asking that each of you think about donating to help. We spend hundreds of dollars a year on toys, games, presents, food etc... during the Holidays. If each of you could just spend $10 less and send it over to Michael and his family, the impact on them would be huge with very little impact on your spending for the holidays.
Please donate.
Please check out the site. I would appreciate any and all help. There are "perks" on the site for people who donate. I will add an additional "perk" to anyone who donates and leaves me a comment here. As most of you know, I have taught music and theatre for almost 10 years in Darien and I am also a mixed media artist. Your extra "perk" will come from those areas of my life :) Voice lessons for 4 weeks? Donate and it's yours. Need a piece of art for an office gift? Donate and it's yours. For donations over $100, I will put together a gift basket of miniature pieces of my artwork for the person who is that generous. If you have any questions or would like to donate directly without using the site please leave me a comment here.
Please see your way to help this family.
Thank you :)
