You Can Help Sam Too

First of all, I'd like to thank Kelly and Mike for all the help they've given me in my quest to put something together for Sam's benefit. They've set me down the right path and have allowed me to do something I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. I'd also like to thank Claudia (and Mike again), who may very well be one of the kindest people on the planet. Not only did she jump up and offer something for the benefit, she also added something personal to the package just for Sam's mom, to lift her spirits.

That being said, Sam still needs a transplant and a he and his mom have to get a new home in Baltimore closer to the hospital for his recovery and figure out how to pay for all of this while mom has only been able to work sporadically because she is caring for Sam. The benefit will help, but Sam has a lot of healing to do.

INTERCOT, which is a significant part of my secret life and is where I got to know Sam and his mom, has stepped up to the plate and is trying to help fill in some of those gaps by starting "Pixie Dust for Sam". We're giving gold bracelets (the official color of childhood cancer awareness) for a $5 donation. Or, if you don't need a bracelet, you can just give a flat donation.

Within 8 hours of putting this page up yesterday, INTERCOT's users had donated nearly $2000, and the number is growing. And we'd like to keep it growing.

Five bucks. Skip your Capa-frapa-mocha-Al-Pacino today and help give a kid a chance at life without hospitals, IVs and let a mom get a night's sleep without worry.
