Thanks again to everyone who contributed to the fundraiser and helped raise $1250 for Kelsie and her family. I am awaiting word on some holiday gift ideas from Nicole, but I figured in the meantime we could start a quick fundraiser to get her something she wants for Christmas.
Kelsie went into surgery today, doctors said it went well. There is a 6-week recovery period then she has to go through another round of chemo. Hopefully that will be the end of it and she will be in remission.
So as for a Xmas fundraiser, I thought we could do something similar, but without any raffle. Donate as little or as much as you want to go towards a large gift (or multiple smaller gifts, all depends on when I get word on what she would like). Just send me a PM if you'd like to contribute. If anyone has other ideas, please let me know, and I'm sorry for the fairly short notice.
*I'd like to reward the highest pledger personally by sending them a PJ mystery box containing contents from my own PJ collection.
I'm gonna be in again, for sure....I'm drînking a little booze and watching football, right now, but I will be back tomorrow.....all you had to say was "chemo"....god, that's some nasty (but beneficial) stuff.
If I had known then what I know now...

We're at nearly $350 already with a limited number of donators, thank you all for your kind donations
Again, still waiting on word from Kelsie's Mom, but I did hear yesterday that Kelsie will need at least a few more rounds of chemo, as it is in her bone marrow. She hasn't even told Kelsie yet. :(
I really hope we get word on what she wants soon so I have to time to purchase and get it to her before the holidays. I've set a deadline of 12/17 as I'll be traveling to Florida that weekend, so that should allow enough time to get her present(s) and make sure she gets them in time.
Girls Kelsies age love Justice - a teeny bopper store lol - in case you're not familiar - a gift card there with part of the money she may really enjoy as well as she can shop online from home if she's not able to get out and about. Not really a good time of year - wouldn't want her catching some kind of "mall funk". Just a thought.
Oh please let it rain today.
Those that can be trusted can change their mind.
So not getting much interest the last week. Regardless of any donations we receive until the 17th, since I still haven't heard back about anything specific she wants, I think I'm going to opt for a pre-paid VISA card so she can go out and get anything she wants. Anyone know the best place to get one?
