                 WILL YOU LOVE SOMEONE SPECIAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON ?

                                                 

                               A SPECIAL DAY TO LET THEM KNOW

      THEY WILL NEVER AGAIN CLIMB THEIR MOUNTAIN ALONE

 

                HOLIDAY CHEER AT THE JAMES GRAHAM BROWN

                                        DECEMBER 20, 2011

        

         D (we do not use names without permission of the family) was in her 40's and engaged to be married when she was diagnosed with cancer. Meghan was asked to visit her and become her friend, which Meghan is very good at.  I accompanied Meghan to University Hospital. Meghan was so excited, she even stopped to buy a card and balloon. We went to the floor and were told that D. had passed away just a few hours before. That happens sometimes. And sometimes we are able to let them know they do not climb alone, that they are loved and prayed for.

        There are only 36 days left till Meghan's Holiday Cheer Party at the Brown Cancer Center for  approx. 250 people who will walk thru those doors hoping to live against cancer. The reality is that for some this will be there last holiday. We ask you to help us reach to them by buying one or more of the below listed gifts recommended by the Brown. Just call me at 468-0630 or email me at jrst...@aol.com and we can make arrangements to pick them up and give you a tax deduction statement if requested.

 

        Here is what they need: (they must be new and are not to be gift wrapped):

        lip balm, hand sanitizer, nail care items, good hand lotion

        adult puzzle books and journals

        ornaments and dreidels

        scented candles

        coffee mugs with coffee, tea or hot chocolate packs

        for men and women: gloves, socks and scarves

        gift cards in $5.00 increments from fast food chains or drug stores

 

   For the young girl from Eastern Ky. who is in the hospital without family, for the man who cannot afford his co-pay, and for the family struggling to make ends meet with the high cost of medical care. For them, for all of them...bless them with your heart...with your love...add them to your holiday list. Believe me when I say one gift alone is so very special.

 

   Meghan, even though she did not have a major fundraiser this year, is still going to do, besides the above, a Christmas dinner with gifts (for all the oncology patients), their families and the staff at Kosair Children's Hospital, and wants to make monetary donations, if possible, to each of the organizations she touched last year. Your help with this event will allow her dreams to continue. Thank you.

 

    God bless and BELIEVE,
