this is important

the next couple of days (march 3-5) a radio station here in nashville - 107.5 The River is doing a pledge drive to raise money for the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. this is really important to me and i'd ask you to consider becoming a River Kid's Club Memeber. it's only $15 a month and it helps this AMAZING hospital. they're a non-profit organization that never turns away a child. EVER. even if the parents can't afford to pay a penny, they will get the best care possible. i worked for a very short time on the mylosuppression floor as a receptionist a few years back and it was amazing to me to see the care the doctors and nurses have for their patients. and the kids - they kick adult's butts when it comes to dealing with illness! they're tough and courageous and keep the best attitudes in the midst of awful sickness. please, PLEASE do this. you can go HERE to donate or call - 1-800-883-4244. look if we can afford to do this - YOU can afford to do this. we live on one small income and things can be really tight for us financially - BUT, i think we're all called to give and give generously in this life... besides, what's $15 a month? do this, for me. it's especially important now that i can imagine being in another parent's shoes. i can't even imagine what i would do if nuggie got sick. it break's my heart. but to know she'd have the very best care possible eases my mind a little. you can do this - so do it!
