Good Day All,
Yesterday I posted some preseason NFL tickets for sale online. One of our friends in common expressed interest in those tickets. At first I was going to just simply exchange the money for the tickets until that person told me why she wanted them. The tone of the statement concerned me. After I told her to send me a message containing her telephone number, she further stated the reason she wanted these tickets. She expressed that she and her two sons had been going through a pretty rough time. As of today, it has been 11 days since she lost the closest person to her heart. Her significant other...the father of her children...of all the days in the world - on Father's Day. I'm not a person who is easily emotionally stirred but this situation really hit me especially after just being able to spend time with my beloved daughter whom I could not imagine being eternally separated from. I immediately spoke to a co-worker/friend/confidante who is a minister and at times deals with tragedy. I asked if he knew any way I could raise money for a cause. After pointing me in the right direction I was able to set up a fund specifically for her and her. A fund that would show her that people do care. That many hands make the load light. I know that no amount of money can fill that hole in the heart that has been created by tragic circumstances but as a fellow member of our small family of friends, I thought I could help to make a difference. My goal is to raise enough money to hopefully pay for those tickets, and possibly a meal for her family before or after the game. I will pay for her fuel costs out of my own pocket if I'm capable. I only ask that you give a little and please share the link so that no friends are missed. Again, we are a small family of friends. I have been in similar situations and have received a down-pouring of love from family and friends. This is my opportunity to initiate such feat.
Just hit donate and help out a little. Thanks friends :)
