Jumping for a great cause

| | Comments (5) | TrackBacks (0)

My cousin's daughter, Graisi, is jumping rope for the American Heart Association this year. She will be jumping in memory of her brother, Grant. Eight years ago, Grant was born with 3 congenital heart defects. He died in surgery to repair one of them. Donations to the AHA aid research to help prevent birth defects in infants.

Take a moment, if you can, to donate towards Graisi's cause. It's one that hits home not only for her family, but for hundreds of others across the country.

I would love to donate. It is comforting to see loss turned into something positive.

Question: It won't let me donate less than $25. I normally don't have a problem with that but due to a crown coming off, my personal spending budget is stretched to the max until the first, so I only have about $10 to play with. Is this still going to be going on then, or is there any way to make the donation less? Sorry to be a pain, but I would really like to help out.

Loralee,

You are so sweet! Thanks. The website won't let you donate less than $25, but you can send donations less than that directly to Graisi. Send me an email to kneedeepinlife at gmail.com and I'll reply to you with her address.

Alecia, THANK YOU so much for putting this on your blog and for your donation!!! The AHA will only allow $25 minimum donations online.

Loralee: I completely understand the circumstances of life and unexpected expenses. If you would still like to donate, please send your money directly to the AHA in memory of Grant Smith. Grants life and death have made a huge impact on our family. It's our goal to celebrate his life in helping others not have to go through what we've had to endure.

Or sending the money directly to us will work also. We'll take it anyway we can get it :o) The AHA is a wonderful organization to support!!

HUGS.
