Today's post is about a young man named Cody, who is going through the same thing right now. A friend of his mom's, Holly, is battling Stage 3 breast cancer. With no insurance to help her out with treatments and 2 sons to raise, the battle's that much harder.
Cody wanted to help, to make a difference. So he built a website, and he asked for support. He knows that we all have our own responsibilities and obligations and that we can't all make a monetary donation, but he also knows the power of community when it comes to bloggers, and so he offers other options to support Holly in her battle:
Your donation doesn't have to be much, and in fact does not have to be monetary at all. Prayer, moral support and your words of encouragement are greatly welcomed. We will make sure that she hears what you have to say. Spreading the word and sending this website to others around you is also a great way to help Holly get the support she needs in this time. And no donation is too small. Just think about it, the state of Missouri alone has a population over 5,000,000 people, if just 10 percent of them decided that they wanted to help Holly and donate a single dollar she would have more than enough to support her family, pay the medical bills, and help many others in a similar situation.
This blog is not about asking for money. In no way does it intend to say that Holly's battle is any harder than one you or a loved one may be going through. Instead, this post is to highlight an amazing young man named Cody, who did what he knew how to do to support a friend in need, and who's making a difference to Holly, to her family, and to the world with his big heart and many talents.
Go over and read about Holly, and say a little prayer for her while you're waiting for the page to load. Every one of them makes a difference. http://www.hollysfund.com/
