Support For A Local Artist/business Owner


--by lpuma, posted Sep 25, 2007
I just wanted to share my story about a fund-raiser that I put together for last Saturday. A local business owner was involved in a very bad motorcycle accident resulting in the loss of his leg and the use of his primary arm. He is not able to work therefore his entire means of surviving are temporarily gone.

This accident really hit home for me so I got my wheels turning and organized a fund-raiser. It went so well and we were able to raise a decent amount of dough. I have another event on the 21st of July and look forward to supporting this cause as long as I can. The power of love is amazing and I am grateful to know it.

We did this for our artist friend and pulled in more then $500 in a couple of hours. Nickel Socials are also a good way to raise money. Local businesses are always happy to help with donating items to be raffled off. If you need any type of assistance just let me know. I do fundraiser type activities most everyday. It is such a wonderful feeling to help another.

We have a family that lost their house to a fire recently and would love ideas of ways to raise money for them. My daughter did go door to door collecting dontations, she collect over 550 dollars for them...they could use more.~Aurelia
