Kidney for Baby Faith

This is way off topic but it's something close to my heart....





My friend Ramona Calquhoun's niece Faith was born in 2011 with kidney disease and has been without kidneys for a year and a half. On Wednesday August 22nd 2012 she received a kidney from her mother Andrea (Ramona's sister).

They expect the cost of both surgeries to be around $30,000!

I am holding an ONLINE fundraiser to raise funds to help offset the cost of the surgeries. I will be donating my ENTIRE commission to this cause, 20% of all sales will go to Baby Faith and her mom. Any FREE products that are earned from this event will then be raffled off with proceeds to go to Baby Faith's surgery cost.
...
The Goal: $1500 in sales
Every sale counts big or small, I hope you will consider purchasing an item to help Baby Faith and her mom. Fundraiser ends FRIDAY AUGUST 31st 2012 @ 9:30 pm

TO ORDER:
Go to www.PamperedChef.Biz/BNiebuhr and click "Shop Online"
