'Tis the season!

[MadAshSky]

The Christmas season is approaching, and what better way to count our blessings than to help one of our own? My SIL, 32, has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She is a single mother and lives in a very small rental house. Unfortunately, the house has two sets of stairs, both of which she has fallen down repeatedly, narrowly escaping serious injury. So, with the help of the MS Society, we are trying to help her purchase a home that is wheelchair-accessible and has no stairs. In order to help with the down-payment, I am hosting a fundraiser (A Home For The Holidays) this December. It includes dinner and a silent auction. And, as I sat here wondering where else I could look for items, I came across my DOD link. So many of you have received GREAT deals and freebies...you know, $20 off $20.01 and free shipping..or no minimum? I know I have. So, my question is this: Is there anything collecting dust in your closet that you never even opened? Something in there that you HAD to get (because it was a great freebie) but don't really need? Travel coffee mugs come to mind, Drugstore.com free kits, things like that? Why not pass those on to the auction, and help out someone REALLY in need? (BTW...if you are questioning the validity of this both Kim Everett-Martin and Mayor have helped out!)
Thanks so much!

I don't really have anything that may be of any help to you, but I think you may want to try [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] (I used the ScratchCards)

I used it to raise a little over $3,000 for a project locally, and met that goal in a little over 2 days. You may want to check it out, and see if it could help you.

It's definately worth a shot!

Good Luck!

Thanks. I'll check into that. However, since I am an individual and not an organization, I may not qualify.

Thanks to Kel who sent me two t-shirts via snailmail this week!!! They are lovely, and will make a nice addition to one of the baskets!
