Cookie Jars they come in all shapes, sizes and colors and really are so versatile. They can of course store cookies but sometimes people love to stash some surprises in the cookie jar, like cash for a rainy day. You sometimes forget you even stored it in there and it's like finding money you didn't know you had and at the same time did not miss. It's the same idea when you put on a pair of pants or a jacket you haven't had in a while and you reach in your pocket and you find a dollar.
There are so many things you could do with that dollar or loose change. Let me share a story with you that might have you decide what do to with that dollar. Here is just one day in the life of our honoree Tressa who fought such a brave hard battle with such courage.
The doctors had a difficult time waking Tressa up after she was given morphine and Atavan (which she has had many times before) to help with her chemo. To say at that time everyone was frightened is an understatement. Tressa was very uncomfortable and scared. Her white cell count went from 120,000 last night to 3,000 (no typos either) that day. Because the drop was so drastic, they boosted her fluids through the IV to flush the dead blast cells because they acted as toxins in her blood. They were also giving Tressa medication so that her kidneys didn't fail because of the flushing of the cells. For Tressa and the family it just seemed to be one strange thing after another. Through that day again Tressa fought back again through another battle of the Leukemia returning once again.
We know Tressa lost her life along with so many others and the 900,000 fighting today knowing that every 10 minutes one will not make it due to blood cancer.
We can fund research and find a cure $1.00 at a time if we spread the word and all participate. Isn't that worth breaking open the cookie jar for?
