Alrighty friends, it's time to saddle up the walking shoes for a good cause. I know that I've got a couple of faithful ghost readers out there, and it just occurred to me that I could be posting blogs that focus on causes near & dear to my heart. On the plate today is the Family Yussman and their work with the March of Dimes. To be honest, I knew nothing about MOD except the name until Amanda, her husband and their children had reason to be blessed by the foundation. 18 months ago, Amanda gave birth to triplets - three tiny, wonderful, beautiful babies who were cared for by an incredibly talented team of physicians, nurses and other health practitioners. The level of care they received was made possible, in part, by the mission of the March of Dimes. Even through the devastating loss of one of the babies, Spencer, Amanda and her family were assured that the best possible treatment and attention was devoted to her precious baby. The surviving triplets, Paige and Levi are thriving at a year and a half - I'll refer you to these resources for more detail:
The reason I'm writing this blog is to ask you for your support for the Yussman family. I know as well as anybody that times are tight and that it's a difficult thing to open up expendable income for a stranger. I also know that there is nothing like the warmth of kindness extended in the hand of an unknown person... So, if you are inclined, please consider donating to the Yussman March of Dimes team - I can assure you that it will be received with deep, unabashed gratitude on the part of a family that has endured the worst horrors of prematurity and revels each day in the rich joys of having survived.
