http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Christy_needs_help Can you digg it? Here's the deal, a friend of my wife's has a daughter that is dying. Her friend Julie, not only has to deal with losing her daughter at any given time, but she's going through a nasty divorce, trying to work two jobs to make ends meet, etc. Basically, she has a lot of life challenges that you an I would never want to have to deal with. She's behind on almost all of her bills and needs help. I've got a blog setup and ready to go, just need to finish the initial post, get some affiliate offers setup on the sidebar, create a page for advertisers to contact her (me, I'll be administering it), and get things in place so that traffic can melt the server (hopefully). What do I need from you? Diggs, blog posts, anything that you can think of to help get the word out when this launches. I'm not asking anybody here to donate money. If you want to, you can do that on the site after it launches, there will be a donation page set up for that. Also, the affiliate account is in HER name, on Copeac's system. So, for any surfers that complete email / zip submits or offers, the money will go straight to Julie. What am I getting out of this? Nothing. I have one link to my blog from in her blogroll, and thats it. Basically, I get that good feeling for helping someone. If you are willing to digg this, once it's up or blog about it, please post something here. Also, if you are part of other forums, please spread the word. I will put the URL up here as soon as I finish. Hopefully, it will be later this evening or tomorrow at the latest. On behalf of Julie and Christy - Thanks for your help! Thanks from me too. http://allforchristy.com If you have friends on MySpace, please post a bulletin there.
I truly wish you the best of luck with that. My honest advice is to write and distribute a press release and/or call up your local media to see if they will pick this up as a story. If they do, it'll spread like wildfire. Best of luck to you.
That's a sad story and definitely something others should take time to help with. http://www.clintlenard.com/2007/02/23/help-christy/ Will hit up myspace too.
Pressbox.com is completely free, quick, and Goog-friendly. Also, just Stumbled it and made a donation. Will keep them in my prayers. It's good that folks like you are still walking the planet... gives me hope for my childrens' gen.
