Help!

On Charlotte's blog I posted about our friends, the Suttons, who recently found out that their wife and mother, Heather, has MDS (myleodysplastic syndrome). The healthcare costs for this cancer can become rather overwhelming, as you might expect.

A website has been setup for people to keep up to date with Heather's treatments, to sign up to help with errands, to make donations to ease the financial burden.

On December 10, a Ladies Silver and Gold Party will be held as a fundraiser. A jeweler will be on hand to pay you for your gold jewelery. A silpada representative will be there so you can do some Holiday shopping. All of the profit from the silpada sales will be donated to Take the Journey of Hope with Heather.

Now here's where we need your help.

There will be baskets to raffle off. The proceeds from the raffle will all be donated to the Sutton Family. So far, we have a children's basket, some Phillies tickets, a quilt, etc.

We're looking for ANYONE to donate ANYTHING that could be raffled. Do you sell Mary Kay? Could you raffle a basket? Do you make awesome cookies? Could you bake some? Do you have tickets to a concert?

We can use any and all donations. Just email me or leave a comment and I'll get in touch with you.

Thanks so much!!

I could mail in some hand made bows that we do here in ol' Clearfield, UT. They are fabric flower bows. I'll send a picture to facebook and you let me know if it's something that would sell there. They are a big deal here. But sometimes the culture doesn't transfer and I've been here so long, I have no idea anymore.
