Your Help Is Needed Please!
This is an old picture of Krystal and Alec on Alec's first day @ school.
I first met Krystal when Alec was a baby. Believe me, Alec is the sweetest boy on earth. Krystal has had a hard life but Alec keeps her going. Alec is Krystal's pillar but Krystal is Alec's world.
Krystal is a single mother, no medical insurance and fighting breast cancer. She is presently seeking medical treatment through the Harris County Coverage-Ben Taub but the red tape is slowing the process to a stand still. Time is so crucial for Krystal. Her family and friends are getting together to raise money so she can get the medical treatment she needs asap.
I want to do something for this mother and son and seek your help through this crafters' blog. I know there are many of you who spend your time making such wonderful crafts. I hope you would donate your crafts and we can auction them on Ebay. All proceeds from this auction would go to Krystal and Alec. Please leave a comment or send me an email @ lyheg6599@aol.com with a subject "Krystal & Alec Glass Benefit". Any suggestions from you are also welcome. Many hands make light work.
Listed below is a flyer which gives details on an event organized by Krystal's friends. If you are in the Houston area on August 18, do drop by.
Hi, Eveyln! I'm so glad you're back--you've been missed! I'd been checking backc here the last couple of days to see if you posted...Thank you for sharing Krystal's story with us. And for the personal email you sent me about it. I hope you had a chance to read my mail before you went on holiday, or have now. I'm with you in any way of support! I will gladly make something special, or even mulitple items if need be, to help you! I look forward to helping Krystal & her son. I have a link to your blod already at mine, but I will link here to Krystal's story and help spread the word! I will email you more tomorrow. Let's talk this week about what can be done! Love & Hugs :o)

I'm not what some call a "talented" crafter, not famous in the blogland either, but I lost several family members because of cancer and this touches me a lot.
It is so unfair that some people in our Western countries can't still get the medical care they need for a matter of money. Shame !
I'd like to help & craft something depending on how much time there's left before the ebay auction and maybe make a post on my blog with a link to yours for French bloggers, to seek for more donators... please let me know how I can help, what, when... etc...

Dear Evelyn,
Bet you are refreshed after your home visit and all of us had a wonderful and memorable time.
You are an angel sent from above to journey with Krystal. How true, many hands make the job easier. Every experience in life, be it good or not so good, is a lesson from God and He will see Krystal through. I will uphold Krystal in prayer for His healing grace.

hi Evelyn! I'm glad you are back too. and I'd love to help out with this once I get settled in Portland. my big move across the country is next week, so I'm getting super busy and geared up. I will email you once I get moved and would be more than happy to do any crafts or anything to auction off.

I would love to donate to this worthy cause! Is there a deadline for the Ebay auction? And do I ship my crafts to you first? Just email me and let me know the details and I'll put something together. You are a dear for doing this!

What a wonderful thing you're doing! I'd love to help, I don't know if I can craft anything ebay-worthy in time...Maybe I can post a link to this? Let me know!
