You Can Save a Life

This weekend my online artisan group is having a radio-thon and a silent auction to benefit one of our friends who is dying and needs life saving surgery.

Larry Hamm is very involved in our Handmaid Independent Artisan's group and online radio station, Blockhead Radio. He's given the shirt of his back many a time and NOW it time for us to help him out. Larry recently lost his insurance and his medications run about $2000 a month. And then of course there is the surgery, the doctors give him less than 18 months to live without a life saving surgery. His wife doesn't make enough, but also makes TOO much for him to receive gov help/

I don't believe the government can or will or should help him. This is (and should be) on us. We can do a much better and more efficient job on this. We, as his friends and as fellow humans, can help him out. By participating in this silent auction YOU CAN HELP. Many many artisans have donated their art to this silent auction. And folks their art is AMAZING. There's jewelry, paintings, gift certificates for their shops (Birdy's Knits has gift certificates as well-all my patterns and stitch markers are available, just scroll down), music, and many many more wonderful things. Do your holiday and birthday shopping NOW and help save a life. You can also donate a few dollars.

The radio-thon and auction ends TODAY at 6pm eastern. Please go shopping! And retweet, plurk, and email your friends...pass this message along.

And Mom, I have a wishlist!! There is some stuff that YOU will love as well.
