Sometimes the unthinkable in life happens.
This happened recently to a very dear friend of mine’s sister. She lost her baby boy in a very tragic accident only 2 short months of her husband had a very horrible accident at work leaving him paralyzed.
When you hear of stories like these you rush to your children and squeeze them tight. As a parent this is a very unfathomable thing – I just can’t even begin to imagine what emotional heartache they are going through.
The financial burden from her husband’s accident has now been intensified with funeral costs of having to bury their baby boy 🙁 I wanted to help in any way that I could, so I have contacted some of the best of the best indie authors who I love and adore so much to see if they would like to donate a signed book for a raffle that I’m going to hold.
To win ALL of these signed books you can purchase a spot in the raffle that will take place on Sunday, September 30, 2012:
1 Entry: $5.00

THE DONATE BUTTON IS AT THE END OF THIS POST
I want to thank all of the authors who are donating books to help this family out. My heart is just absolutely crushed for them, and your generosity means the world to me and will to them as well.

I just donated <3 This is a wonderful thing you are doing.

ok it let me…
I entered/donated. Desiree is a dear friend of mine. Thank you so much for doing this for her!!! I liked your website to share this with others on facebook but then something weird happened. Asian looking writing, looked like spam, then I clicked on it from my facebook page and said it was invalid. So I unliked it….not sure what is going on with it?
Donated 🙂
Prayers go out to the families & loved ones…rest in peace!!!!
Thank you so much Amanda! You just made me cry over your thoughtfulness, love and generosity. My heart is broken for my sister and while it is true that there isn’t a lot we can do to take away the pain after a loss of this magnitude the idea of making their day to day life a little less stressful provides those of us that feel helpless, a small amount of peace and comfort. Her husband’s accident at work that left him in a wheelchair was a major life challenge in itself. With much love and support they were handling it very well considering my sister just started a graduate program this fall and isn’t working herself while back in school . The sudden loss of their almost two year old baby boy is just inconceivable. Thank you for all of your prayers , love & support.

My prayers go out to them – I know how much it hurts. I think what you are doing is absolutely wonderful!
My prayers go out to the family. As a mother I can’t even imagine what they must feel right now.
