Hi everyone!

So, I know that MANY of you helped selflessly with the big Schnibbe-Hunt donation drive that raised a whopping $760.00 for Lisa, Russ and Hailey.  THANK YOU!  Hailey, HOPEFULLY will come home in the next 2 weeks or so (keep those prayers flowing!) and we would like to help Lisa and Russ to be really ready.  The house will be crazy, trying to keep up with Hailey's needs medically speaking, with Lisa trying to remember to eat right and get her fluids in, and with Russ having to work more than full time to support the whole thing financially. 
There is a small but very dedicated group of us who will be getting together on Halloween to cook for many hours.  We do not need additional support on the cooking end , but we do need help in another way.  We have already spoken with Lisa and have determined foods that both Lisa and Russ can eat.  We've got the recipes ready to go, the menu's ready to be prepared.  I am going to go shopping on the way to the house in which we're doing the cooking and the other "chef's" will meet me there.  From there, history will be made !!!

So here is where you come in.  If EVERYONE who can afford it can remember to throw just a couple of dollars, like literally TWO OR THREE dollars, into an envelope on Monday morning (of course, please send more if you can!), the cost will not only have to be absorbed by the 6 people cooking that day.  I attended the Barix post-op support group last Wednesday night and was able to collect an incredible $100 in only 1 1/2 hours.  I was humbled and amazed at the outpouring of support, knowing that some of those same people had opened their wallets for the very recent cash collection only a few weeks ago for the same family.  Considering the volume of food we will be cooking next weekend, we will need far more money that the $100 we have collected thus far.  So please, if you can, please think of the baby coming home and the need for the family to continue to eat a healthy diet.  We can help them on a grand scale as a community with each of us contributing a very small amount on an individual basis.

PLEASE AVOID SENDING CHECKS, though if you must we will understand.  There may not be enough time to cash them prior to the cooking event.  Please send cash wrapped in a piece of paper and then place it in an envelope, mailing it to the following address as soon as possible...

If you send a card with the money, the card will be given the Schnibbe-Hunt family, delivered along with the food on Halloween!  Cool, huh?

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!  You are an AMAZING group of people...no doubt, the BEST board on OH, but did I even have to say that???

Love to every one of you

I made all but one of my "pre contributions" tonight!  They will be at Liz's house ready and waiting!
