The thermostat is rising inside and outside!

Silly little piece of trivia....the next time someone views the blog our visit counter and our fundraising total will be the same!

Couple of fantastic things to report on today

• Our middle daughter Hannah brought home from school (and forgot to give me!) some money raised by her friends Gina and Jenna C.  These two wonderful girls raised $55 for Leah - we are so grateful girls!  Thanks for your hard work.

• Kay's Korner Variety asked us to come and empty out the Loonies for Leah jar they had on the counter - once counted there was a whopping $203.97 inside!  Thank you to all the Kay's customers who have been so generous!

• We now have a 7th way to purchase tickets for the Summer Bash Benefit for Leah - Kay's Korner Variety at 150 Thorold Rd., Welland have very generously offered to sell the tickets for us, so if you need a loaf of bread, newspaper, some lottery tickets and a couple tickets to the benefit, drop by Kay's to scratch all those items off your shopping list!

The Support just keeps pouring in!

Just when I started to feel overwhelmed by the amount of work still to be done, the days flying by and the uncertainty of it all, I received a few text messages.

1st text - Kays Variety on Thorold Rd in Welland, has agreed to place a Loonies For Leah jar on their counter!  Thank you so much!

2nd text - My good friend Alex took bags of Leah's Angels to work with her, and she sold a bunch!  So a big thank you to the staff of Re/Max Niagara Realty.

3rd text - My husband texted me to let me know his employer Telecom Computers has offered their help as well!  Thank you Mr. Davidson and the employees of Telecom Computer!

All of this plus the offers of donations for the garage sale, requests for angels and the emails and messages being sent to us offering help and support - simply wonderful!  We are truly blessed!

Watch for Leah in the news!  I am lucky to be friends with the owners of Chimpanzee - a creative communications agency.  

They have very generously offered to assist us with a "media campaign" to get Leah's story out to the public.  With their help, we will be able to reach a broader range of people and companies for assistance, but also, just as important if not more so, it will get Leah's struggle with the health care system into the news and  get people talking.
