Please help me help as many kids as I can - I'm an MDA Jailbird!

It's been a while since I have posted. Life has been hectic. So many things to get done and so little time. Lots of  My 1st birthday dress have been shipped, lots of embroidered done and lots of community service.
Seems like the more I pray, the more ghosts I see! LOL
The other day I got a phone call, the person told me that I was among one of the most wanted in our County and that I was going to jail. It took me a while to find the strength to ask what the heck was that about.
The reason I was going to jail, it was because I have a BIG HEART :)
Yes, I really have a big heart. Literally speaking!  Three years ago, after a visit to the Prompt Care, I was told that my Mitral Valve was damaged and I had to have it replaced by a mechanical one. The doctor said that my heart worked so hard to compensate for the damaged valve so, my heart increased in size.  Yep, I can tell I have a huge heart LOL
Ok, back to my Jail call,  it was  for a good cause,  I was an MDA Jailbird to help hundreds of kids, adults and their families. Now, I have to ask for donations... Believe me, I think it would be easier to  get somebody to bail me out of a real jail than it's been to get them to donate something to the MDA. It's not easy. I beg and beg and beg and beg!
Sometimes I wonder: Wouldn't that be such a nice surprise  if I woke up in the morning and my inbox  was full of email from the MDA telling me all this people who pitched in ??? That surely would make my day :)
If you are reading this blog, it doesn't need to be much, $5 here, $10 there, at the end it makes a lot of difference.
