How Can I Help?
(I know I have posted this picture before, but it makes me smile, and right now I need to smile)Over the past 2 weeks, I have heard this question a couple thousand times. "What can I do?", "Anything you need?", it doesn't always pan out with every person, but it is amazing how gracious so many have been. People I have never met, calling me on the phone and telling me how they are scouring area businesses looking for donations, people I have known for years just picking up their phones to make a simple phone call and getting all of our paper products donated (YAHOO), without me ever having to ask. My heart is forever changed. My life will never be the same as it was 2 and a half weeks ago.
Amber's health has taken a turn for the worse. This family (The Dugan's) needs your prayers and your help more than ever. To any of my blog readers out there who may have a connection or a special skill/craft. We are looking for Theme basket donations for our raffle the night of the auction. Ideas: Ohio State, Pet themed, family movie night, family game night, napa basket. These are just a few I have heard other people have seen.We are still desperately looking for the donation of our food (pasta, sauce, salad, rolls, punch) Like I said, if anyone has a contact or knows someone who works in a restaurant or grocery store/food supply company. Donations from golf courses, airline tickets, CAVS tickets, hotel stays, hair salon certificates, pizza places, fast food, restaurants . ANYTHING!!! Do you have a church? Could you inform the parish of Amber and her courage? Could you inform them that they can donate to the family online if they are out of state or come and share in our night if they around here? I have flyers and I am trying to pass them out in churches, area stores, banks, anywhere where a person will see it and read it and learn about Amber and her beautiful spirit, her courage and her love for life.
I understand, not everyone can help, our lives are busy, but if in your heart you were thinking, "I wish I could do something," And you have 5 minutes to spare, hand a flyer to the manager at your local grocery store, hand a flyer to your pastor, sit down and say a prayer. Your help WILL change lives.
