Call For Help

[JimmyinSD]

As some of you may recall  a few months ago I shared that one of our own had a young daughter that was undergoing kidney failure ( she only had one left and it was declining) the only hope was a transplant.  Well through the grace of God a matching donor was found and she got her new kidney.  Her recovery has been a long one,  but after roughly 2 years of praying and waiting for that donor to be found and the surgery to take place,  she was trooper and pushed hard to get home to her family.  ( I wasnt aware how long that transplant patients have to stay in the hospital and how much of a journey it is to balance anti-rejection drugs and other meds,  astonishing to say the least)

I am happy to say that she was able to get home about a month earlier than expected ( about 2 months after the surgery) and has been doing very well,  although there has been a recent issue with white blood cell counts and a couple infections that you or I would brush off as the sniffles, its a bit more involved for those who have recently undergone a transplant... so please keep her and her family in your prayers.

The main reason I am writing today is to share another part of her story.   It was our young Vikefans dream to become a published author and through her health ordeals she has written the first book of what she hopes will be many more,  and her states Make A Wish foundation has decided to help her make her dream come true,  they are working to get her book published and sold.  I will attach a link to pre-order her book and help make this young lady's dream become a reality.  Please, if you can help, order a book or 2 or 5 ( even if they dont fit your age group or interest,  I am pretty sure local schools and libraries would be happy to take them,  especially knowing the back ground story ) 

If you arent able to help,  please keep our brothers daughter in your prayers, not only for this dream to become a reality,  but for the nightmare that she has been living to come to a happy ending.

Thank you in advance.

Here is the link to the Make A Wish site:  www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/T2XWN3VS3ZHQ4

I am hoping that this catches fire and we can make her a best seller. if you frequent other boards or anything that may generate a bigger response, please feel free to share.

Also,  please keep another board member in your prayers as he continues his battle with cancer, and anyone else that needs some spiritual help.

Skol,
Jimmy

Jimmy--
Of course I will buy a book. But also, if you think it's ok, I would like to forward the link to my VO agent. They deal in a lot of animation and gaming stuff. Perhaps they could help to  place it with a publisher in that world. Just a thought. 
Thanks for making us aware of this.
