URGENT, URGENT REQUEST

[Guest guest]

To all members of the Stillsdisease support group and anyone out there with

families, friends, doctors or associates that might feel touched by this

insideous disease PLEASE READ!!!

You all know the viciousness of this disease. The expenses and the personal

tragedy first hand and through others. We are experiencing a crisis at the

International Stillsdisease Foundation right now. With our members & families

worldwide and the lack of financing available to help others as we have always

dreamed might some day be possible.

I am beside myself this morning with grief for my family here within this

support group and the pain and suffering so many are enduring. I and others have

worked so hard for seven years now trying our best to raise funds and do

everything we could to think of ways to ask for and generate more funding for

the small services we ARE ABLE to provide but it is NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!

As many of you know our president Carole Triller is also gravely sick right now

and so once again another funding plan we have for a monthly newsletter with

dragon pins, gifts and brochures will need to be put off for just a while

longer. My health as well has taken so many appointments that it is difficult

for me to follow through with many of the projects for the conference that need

to be set up. One of those projects is to have the funding to bring our member

Larry Brown and his wife Patty, both physical and occupational therapists to

speak.

So I am asking, NO I AM BEGGING YOU to please send the foundation a donation of

$10.00 or more. I will send you a pencil, a pin, a keychain that I make,

something if you want it for a donation, just tell me. IF you cannot give up a

cup of coffee, a pack of cigarrettes, anything to spare $10 or more than I will

take a $1.00 bill in an envelope. This group has over 500 members and even a

dollar from EVERY SINGLE PERSON would do a tremendous amount. I am going to ask

every single person I know. If you make a craft and have something made, you

could send that to me also and we could raffle it, if it's not made, don't spend

the money just send in the money please. Can we give Larry something to work

towards coming home for? Can we have enough to someday send a member to be with

loved ones and family in such times of dire circumstances???? NOT without the

generosity of ourselves because no one else is listening out there. It's just

us right now. We also can donate through PayPal just go to Stillsdisease.org

and the link button is on the donations page. or send your donations to:

International Stillsdiase Foundation
