Do you ever feel like there's so much junk going on in the world that you just get frustrated and sad and angry? You wish that you could do *something* but feel like the issues are so big and your effort would be so small? That's how I felt at the end of October. I knew so many people going through so much hurt, and I didn't know what I could do for anyone--and then God nudged me to do something I thought would be small that ended up being huge!

That picture right there is of my friend Sandi and her family. Sandi has stage 4 lymphoma, and has been battling it for over a year now. Traditional treatments aren't stopping it, but she's found a new treatment that is very promising--and very expensive. And, of course, it's not covered by insurance.

Sandi needs $20,000 to do the full treatment, and God led me to start an online fundraiser to help raise that money. People from all over the country (and even a few outside it!) have donated a variety of awesome items, from books to homemade chocolates to services to scads of other cool things, for us to put into giant prize packages that we'll start raffling off on November 25th. Raffle "tickets" are $5 each--buy as many as you want, and then enter them on the baskets you want when they go up for the raffle!
