Lately, like many of us I have been thinking about the economy and although we are struggling financially, I'd still like to help others but I am not sure how. As I was laying in bed last night trying to fall asleep my mind was in full throttle and not allowing me to rest. My dream has always been to financially help other families who are dealing with biliary atresia and/or liver transplantation. Families that are dealing with special medical needs, in my opinion, are much more financially fragile than those families who are not. Imagine having a load of medical bills to pay along with your power, phone and mortgage bills. The stress for those of us who are dealing with never-ending medical bills can be unbearable. Believe me, I know.
After tossing and turning all night trying to think of a way to help others without jeopardizing my financial needs, I think I have come up with a way to make it work. My idea may not produce a large sum of money but even a couple hundred dollars will make a huge difference to a family struggling financially with medical bills. Of course, my idea will not be a success without your help.
Here's my idea...
Right now, I am selling Ashley's cookbooks for $12 plus $5 for shipping. What I'd like to do is sell the remaining cookbooks for $20 plus shipping, $10 will go to Ashley's transplant fund and the other $10 will go to another family in need. I will hold a contest on this blog for other biliary atresia families to be the recipient of the other $10. I have several cookbooks left so there is the potential to give another family a couple hundred dollars.
Think about how far your $20 will go to helping not just Ashley but another little girl or boy just like Ashley. Think about the relief for the parents of that child when they receive the news that they are the winners of the Love for Ashley Give to Others Contest. Think about how good you will feel knowing you have helped two children with your generosity.
