I've been there, some of you have been there and many might be there.  Life happens and it sometimes doesn't  happen at a good time.  A friend of mine who I have known since I was just a kid is having one of those times. Self employed and broker her right wrist, which she needs to work, well she got it fixed and made it through that, just to have it not set correctly and now has to have it re-broken and set straight and that is when it has become financially unsustainable. 

I am so thankful for the help I received when life threw curve balls at me and as a community we can really make a difference.  I prefer to give directly to people that I know it will really help.  I am asking you to do the same.  Consider how easily you spend $20.00, a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine, a breast cancer walk, and know that if you gave just $20.00 or whatever was in your budget this person can make it through her crisis. 

Pay it forward, it could be you, or your kids, or parents that may need to get over a bit of trouble in life and I hope that others would be gracious to your need - a 1000 people could make our goal.  Do it and share it.  Do it because you know me & I wouldn't ask if it was not a real cause.
