Several of you may be under...
Several of you may be under the impression that we met our goal, but we had a disappointing set back. A donor gave $1000 and then requested a refund from the site on the following day. I am not sure what motivated this action, but I pray that whatever need this individual has is met.
How does this effect our fundraising efforts? Well, I've already had one donor say that he would have donated more if he didn't see that goal was already met. So I'm reaching out to those of you that may have thought the same. I hope that you continue to spread the word so that we can still meet this goal. In the meantime, we are in the process of negotiating. Thanks to all of you for your continued prayers, and support.

I am trying to raise money to help a friend. Because of her situation, she wishes to be anonymous so we are going to refer to her as LeAnn. I've known LeAnn since middle school. We played several sports together. She has always been a sweet and fun loving person.
LeAnn's grilfriend (will call her Jan) is in and out of the hospital with seizures. Over the past few months she's been on life support, sent home, back at the hospital again, and so on. We do not have a firm diagnosis, but they are trying several different medications and it has become especially taxing on their resources. LeAnn and Jan live together in a home along with Jan's son.
LeAnn has tried to be there for Jan throughout this ordeal including caring for Jan's son. She was trying to do so while juggling a career as well. It got to be too much when LeAnn was told that she could not miss work to care for Jan. LeAnn and Jan did not quailify for FMLA, therefore, LeAnn no longer has a job. They need to raise $1,500 by 5:00PM Friday, September 28th to keep their house. We were able get the deadline extended to Tuesdays October 2nd.
LeAnn is in the process of interviewing for other positions and the prospects look good. She is not giving up despite the number of social service agencies that have turned her away. Please help me in raising money to help them keep their home, at least for enough time for her to start a new career.
Every dollar counts and we appreciate any help regardless of whether its $5 or $50 Spread the word to your friends and lets see if we can show this family some love. Thank you in advance!
