-Can You Help With An Important Cause?

I have been a member at a wonderful giving site called "Microgiving", for 5 months, now. I have personally experienced such charity, kindness, giving, and love there. They helped me go to Ohio to watch my only daughter graduate from High School last month. They do so many wonderful things there to help those in need. I'm reaching out to ask for your help in their charity and giving.

This is the newest need they have been trying hard to meet for so many victims:

In response to the recent disasters in the Midwest, MicroGiving sent a team to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to help resurrect the city. Lead by our very own Michelle Fraedrick, MicroGiving was able to organize an event to not only help with the clean-up physically but also provide financial assistance. You’ve probably noticed the new profiles popping up all over the site of incredible people in incredible need. The awareness spread by MicroGiving has raised thousands to help give these families and local business’s the spark they need to get back on their feet. Although we are no longer in Cedar Rapids the assistance will continue; we are in constant contact with the people of Cedar Rapids and consider this a long-term venture. This was the first effort for this branch of MicroGiving, the first of many, and we are proud of the impact. Between the staff’s devotion and our amazing members we have been able to make a real difference in many lives. We have to make sure to keep the awareness alive, as most aren’t even aware of the severity of this disaster. We will keep you updated on our efforts and are excited about the recent and future impact of MicroGiving and its members.

Thank you,

The MicroGiving Team

As you can see, this is a huge effort, and truly something to be proud of taking part in. I ask all graphic artists, please share a charity kit to help with fund-raising for this organization, they are a blessing in disguise to so many people.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
This means a lot to me, and to many other's.

I wanted to post some lyrics to a beautiful song. This reminded me of what Microgiving does and the people who are in need.

The Last Night by Skillet

You come to me with your scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this
I just came to say goodbye
I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine
But I know it's a lie

This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be

Your parents say everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine
But I know it's a lie

This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be
The last night away from me

The night is so long when everything's wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on
Tonight, tonight

This is the last night you'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go
I'm everything you need me to be

I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night away from me
Away from me
