Pampered Chef and Lilla Rose Fundraisers!!!

I love going to school.  I don't love the pain that it comes with because of all the walking I have to do.  I've had Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy for 20 years, and my doctor and I both decided that a wheelchair would best help decrease the pain of so much walking.  Everything has been approved by my insurance, but I still need to come up with my copayment of $1800.  I've started a gofundme page to try to raise money.  And after three days it still has a zero balance.  So, now I've got a Pampered Chef AND a Lilla Rose Fundraiser going on.  Here's the links to everything, and Please pass this around!!

DisneyLand is going to have to wait...

DH (Mike) and I decided earlier this year to save for DisneyLand for Monster.  Now, it's going to have to wait.  We've been put in touch with a company that provides PTSD service dogs and we're trying to get one for Mike.  We talked to his doctor today about it and his doctor thinks it's a great idea because Mike's PTSD is so bad.  Sooooo, the little bit that we had saved for DisneyLand is now in a fund for Mike's Service Dog, and we're trying to raise the money for just the down payment.  The total cost of the dog is estimated at $30K (no exact figure yet until we sign the contract with the down payment.)  So, I've set up a gofundme.com page.  And, we're going to try to raise the money for his dog.  In the coming days, I will also be posting my purses online to sell.  Anyone that knows me knows that my purse collection means a lot to me, and I will be selling all but a couple of them...like the one that has my name on it.  All of this money will go towards the fund for his dog.  

We can save next year to go to DisneyLand with Monster, and since he will be 5 instead of 4, it may be better.  Not to mention, I think DH was procrastinating on DisneyLand because of the crowds, and with a service dog, there's still the anxiety, but it might be less, and I know he was willing to face all that anxiety for Monster...DH would walk through fire for his son and so would I.  I've always believed that everything happens for a reason, and we just don't know those reasons.  We're given the trials that we have because God knows we can handle them, not because we think we can handle them. 

DH has also agreed that anyone that donates at least $10 can get a photo signed by both of us of either him and his new dog, or us as a family.  

Fundraisers Going On

I'm going to start this as a regular post because I do support so many friends and fundraisers!
Here are two that are near and dear to my heart and I do hope that you support my wonderful friends in this, as I've already donated to both of them!!
First is a Relay for Life fundraiser.  Head on over to Relay For Life and donate to "Sleepwalking Turtles"!! Not only do you get that donation to count on your taxes, but if you message Judy or Arthur after you donate, you can get some awesome keychains.  She's asking $3.00 for each keychain, but you can always donate more!!! The event is May 17, 2013. These are the keychains I got for Valentine's Day and they were a total surprise to DH...especially since it was from his Army Buddy. (He still can't figure out how I do most of what I do online without him knowing)

Next up is this AWESOME raffle from Van Horn Ministries. A lot of people don't know this, but I have a Biker background.  It has always been a part of me, and the only reason I'm not riding right now is because Monster is too young.  When he gets older, we're going to get bikes again!!  I've always been a great friend to one of the people at Van Horn Ministries, and I used to baby sit her son when he was a toddler...he's an adult now, so that tells you how long we've been in each others lives. 
Up until June 8, 2013, you can donate online HERE, and for every $5.00 donated, you get a ticket in the raffle for this beautiful ring!!! Once you donate, just send an email HERE and the best part...they will mail you the ring!!! You don't even have to be there to win!!!  Ya'll know if I win this...it's gonna be a new giveaway!!! (Maybe)

Also, please let me know if you donate to either of these so that I can recognize you for your donations! (If you want)
