This message was on

another List I subscribe to – I thought it might be of interest to

somebody here, or at least a good idea to keep for future reference.

Hi. I am writing to let you

know about a new fundraising group dedicated to

helping transplant patients and their families raise funds to cover

their

medical costs. There is no

fee, and no time committment on the part of the

patient or their family. We

are simply looking for ways to help.

We set-up fundraising bazaars in local (near the patients home) schools

and

churches with 30 to 40 independent sales representatives from home

shopping

companies such as Tupperware, Avon,

Kay, Airbonne, Pampered Chef, etc.

It

is a one day event that can raise $3000 - $5000 for the patients

medical fund.

There is no catch, we don't charge a fee to the families. The sales reps earn

our money through the products we sell and the opportunity to meet

people who

might want to become sales reps.

Our set-up group gets paid by the sales reps

when they purchase a table at the bazaar.

I started this group because my daughter-in-law had a liver

transplant. She

ended up having to set-up fundraisers through the local Mcs, her

church,

and her parents friends. It

sapped her energy. She needed to be

getting well,

not trying to figure out a way to pay for her medication. Unfortunately,

passed away when the HepC attacked her new liver. We don't want to

see others have to expend their energy at the cost of their health.

Let me know if this is a program you would be interested in, or would

be

willing to pass the information along to your support group. You can contact

me at bcmoga@... - FYI - we are currently doing these fundraisers

in

Illinois, but

I would be happy to set it up anywhere.

Make certain you're sending to trnsplnt@... if you're

replying to the entire list.
