Crunch Time!

WOW! Even in the worst of times, good still happens! A 10-year old boy named Drew escaped Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and came to Texas. He was not feeling well so his parents took him to the dr. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia....unbelievable. This family has lost every physical possesion they own and now they are fighting for the life of their son. Luckily for Drew and his family, they were at Medical City Dallas. Drew's drs are the Three Wise Men (aka Lenarksy, Goldman and Weinthal).....they have been connected to our awesome North Texas branch of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Heroes for Children, and one of my favorite local families, the Fighting Hays Family. The family's story has hit the national news circuits, and Heroes for Children has gotten a ton of publicity from it! I have received several requests from people wanting to volunteer for our organization.......I am just now getting our computer up and running again and have sooooo much to get caught up on! I am going to bust my bobo to get a volunteer newsletter out next week!

And we are really trying to get Jenny and Larissa on Kidd Kraddick's show. He interviewed Drew's mom on the air and she told them about HFC. He asked many questions about HFC and pledged $5,000 to us!!!!!! HOLY COW!!!!

So, maybe sooner than later, HFC will be able to pay me to work for them full-time! What an awesome opportunity....it will be my dream to get paid doing something I love!! (I do it for FREE now, so imagine how happy I would be to be paid to do it FULL TIME!!)

Have a good day tomorrow!!
