No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Note the addition of the "donate now" button to the sidebar. The Brigade is raising money to purchase a leaf on The Tree Of Hope for Lily. Whatever you can afford to give, be it $5, $10, whatever ... it's welcome. I'm really tight on cash right now (paying off debt, etc.), but I sent $10 in McD's gift certificates and a $5 donation to the fund. Every little bit helps.

We not only have the SIDS Alliance project in the works, but we also have other projects for Ani and her family: hiring a cleaning service a few times a month, working on a quilt, a scrapbook, and many other things. We have a nationwide network of people pitching in to help the family. All money raised will benefit Lily's family.

As Bartles And Jaymes would say ... thank you for your support.
