Everyone that knows me, knows that I am big on donating. I believe in paying it forward...I guess. To me, it is more than that. God has blessed me so much in my life that starting this very moment, if he never did again I would still be just giving back. I don't know that I could give enough to be "paying it forward". It would certainly be more than I have to give.
That being said, I am asking everyone to consider making a donation of some sort to a benefit that I am co-sponsoring on July 30th. The benefit will be held for a dear friend of my husbands and mine. Last week he was diagnosed with Guillains-Barre Syndrome. Like most of you, I had never heard of this so I was caught completely off guard when we were informed that our dear friend was unable to even walk. If you do not know about this syndrome, please go to this web site: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/guillain-barre-syndrome/DS00413
I am looking for several types of donations:
Your time
Your money
something that you would donate to auction off
donate a baked good for auction
If you would be willing do any of the above, please email me at renee.matthews44@yahoo.com. I am really hoping for a huge success and that we can raise a lot of money to help our friend pay bills, eat, any special needs or every day needs from the after-effects of this illness.
Please consider doing something to "give back"! God will honor your efforts and they will be greatly appreciated!
When: July 30th, 2011 noon until 10 pm
What: Fun, Food, and Fellowship
Where: 2320 Mack Road Fairfield, OH 45014
