Just spreading the word about a wonderful organisation named Hearts United for Animals. If you could like them on Facebook, that would be fantastic! They are based in Nebraska, but they do such fantastic work in rescuing and rehabilitating dogs from the horrors of the puppy mills that exist in the States. Currently they are looking for bits and bobs to sell at their fundraiser next month - this can be something handmade, or just something purchased that you wouldn't mind giving away. All of the details are on their FB page. A very worthwhile cause!

I'm in HH...my mom died of lung cancer...

[Henley Honey]

I'm not one to get political or anything, I won't even tell you the story of how my father left the planet -- cause it was of lung cancer, and obviously, that was of his own violition. Instead, I'll tell you about my neighbor, Kenneth, who had Leukemia in 1968 when they had no clue and he had absolutely no chance of survival.
His 5 sisters -- my BFF's -- went to he public school about a mile away, and I went to the Catholic School just up the block. So, when in came to lunchtime-- and medication time -- I was it. I'd clap for him, I'd sing for him, whatever it took to please a two year old to try and make him comply. We tried for months and momths, but it didn't really matter cause the cancer had consumed him.
So, for Kenneth, or anyone -- especially a child who can't fight for himself, I hope that you will make a contribution. For Kenneth.

How tragic. Thanks for letting us know about this, HH. I missed the fundraiser but was able to donate through their site.
