From the mouths of babes "Are We There Yet". It makes you smile when you think of how many times you heard that phrase from little ones and you found yourself replying okay we are getting closer, okay not much longer, okay we are almost there and yet knowing there's still a ways to go.
That's how I am feeling today with the fund-raising efforts now officially at the halfway point. I keep asking are we almost there yet achieving the goal we set out to accomplish. Sadly I go through the motions of convincing myself and others we are getting closer knowing there is still much work yet to do. With over 2000 touches of various ways of reaching out and asking in many different ways of sharing my passion the team and I continue to encourage everyone we meet to help those who have been diagnosed with Leukemia, Lymphoma or Myeloma to help fund research and find a cure . These 900,000 have therapies but no cure for blood cancer. Every 10 minutes losing a loved one to this disease.
I know that the heartfelt dedications we receive daily from individuals going through the painstaking process of watching in many cases their child go through unimaginable pain for survival and they have nowhere to turn to express or reach out so they find Light The App and make a simple prayer, a dedication of hope or encouragement. It is because of these daily reminders I see I am still hoping for that tipping point. That point at which many realize that with a little help $1, $5 donations we can make a difference and fund research, find a cure and save a life. I am hoping my Are We There Yet the response will become a resounding yes.
Won't you help me help others.... http://in.llsevent.org/Pam
