Cleaning for a Reason

If you know any woman currently undergoing Chemo for Breast cancer, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning – 1 time per month for 4 months while she is in treatment.

All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service.

Please pass this information on to bless a woman going through Breast Cancer treatment. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women. It’s our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.

Doctors Without Borders

Below is a letter of thanks my husband and I received from Ms. Sophie Delaunay, Executive Director, MSF-USA thanking us for our monetary donation for Doctors without Borders, who are currently helping out in Haiti. Please check this out. It is a wonderful way to help out knowing your dollars are going to help these physicians and their efforts to aid the victims in Haiti. Thank you. Lorraine

“Thanks to your support and the dedication of our staff and volunteers, MSF was able to react immediately and effectively to the January 12 earthquake in Haiti. Here are some first-hand accounts of our response to the profound medical needs of the Haitian people.”

Have You Made A Meal For A Sick Friend?

They say home made chicken soup is like Penicillin, it is very good for you, and I could not agree more. With the cold and flu season upon us, I am sure that you know of someone who is sick. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you were to cook a home made meal for your sick friend or relative and bring it over to their home? If you know how to cook chicken soup, then go for it! If you are afraid of catching their cold or flu, slip it under their door. Only kidding, just let them know that you are coming and hand it to them outside. See? Easy…and rewarding. Happy cooking!

PLEASE DONATE BLOOD!!! I do. Check out the American Red Cross closest to your home. Thank You!

Summer’s Here…Volunteer

The American Red Cross is in crucial need of blood. By giving one pint of blood you literally save many lives. I recently gave blood, and am now signing up to be a regular donor. I have Universal Blood, which is RH-Negative blood. It is in very high demand as we can give our blood to everyone, yet we must receive only our type of blood should we ever need it.

Regardless of whether or not you are RH-Negative or any other blood type, The American Red Cross in your area would greatly appreciate your donation. In giving blood we help others. So simple, yet so very important! Also, did you know that 1 pint of blood equals loosing 1 pound? When the nurse told me that, I asked her if she could take out 9 more pints! They laughed and told me there is actually 1 pint of blood per every 10 lbs. of body weight per person. Interesting.

So please take the time, an hour at the most to give blood. Just go to givelife.org to find out where and when they are sponsoring a drive in your town. Thanks so much for giving the gift of life!

Please Don’t Forget

Please don’t forget our troops who are risking their lives at this moment to preserve our safety here in the U.S.A. Regardless of how we may feel about the ongoing war in Iraq and Afghanistan, we must remember to let our troops know that we are still thinking about them and wish to help.

Thank you!!!

Kind Acts In Action : Try To Do Something For Someone Else On Your Birthday

My husband and I have been trying something new for a couple of years now. On our birthdays, we make a point to do something for someone else. We have tried to break the tradition of celebrating this day as our own. Instead we try to recognize the world around us and give back as a celebration of life. There are little things we do from making a small donation to the causes we believe in to being extra nice to strangers on the street this day. As new parents to be we will be starting this tradition in our new family and wanted to pass it on to others that may also agree its a good idea.

Peace and Love from Los Angeles, California!

Something Cool That Xerox Is Doing

If you go to this web site, www.letssaythanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can’t pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.

How amazing it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! This is a great site. Please send a card. It is free and it only takes a second.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them.
