I want to express to everyone the significance of losing a loved one, not just soldiers' families, but the unfortunate souls diagnosed with cancer, murder victims, rape victims, car accidents, and other illnesses and accidents that might cause death.
Unfortunately, there is nothing I or anyone can do to prevent what Fate has decided to take away, but I believe we can strive to make those who may die in the very near future or who are just blessed with a cross to carry a better life.
I have two siblings with illnesses out of seven: one with prune belly ( [link] ) and a number of different things, and another who was born severely jaundice ( [link] ) and is autistic ( [link] ). This has given me an awareness, and I'd like those who can help to do so, because it really does benefit all those families like ours, and some even in worse conditions.

Charity Foundations

[link] Sunshine Foundation The Original "Dream Makers®" Organization

[link] Make-A-Wish Share the Power of a Wish

[link]
Saint Jude's Research Hospital Finding Cures. Saving Children.

These are only three of the foundations, but there are so many more. If you know of any, tell me and I'll add them to the list. And also, pass this around; I'd like it people donated to these places, it would be helping so much.


EDIT
I am going to make a page to replace the one above with all of the names and maybe even the icons of anyone who helps me. I understand you may not be able to donate, because truthfully I can't either, but as long as you spread the word and pray for these families, say so and I'll add you to the list.
Peace.


Foundation for better Lives Club.

I'm opening a project to anyone who will listen for unfortunate families by trying to help foundations raise money to make children's dreams come true, whether thats making a wish or saving a life. Anyone who wants to be part of this project must be faithful and not say they agree when they do not and will not devote time to this.

Requirements:

1) You must swear you will help.
2) You have to pray a little prayer every day. I have one, which I will post, but you can pray your own kind if you want to, whatevs to me.
3) You must make a journal, copy and paste this one I don't care. Put it on your MySpace, or Twitter, or Facebook, or whatever, but put it everywhere .
4)Is do it faithfully, willingly, as if you were doing it for God, because really you are. Use that intention, pray the little prayer every day, or as much as you can. If you forget, its ok.
5) Lastly, please have fun. This isn't some thing where I'm going to force you to do anything you don't want to. But I do ask that if you do not believe in God, then at least donate.

Please note me if you want to join, all posts on my page and/or this journal will be ignored. Thank you.

The prayer:

Three Hail Marys for the sick.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.

(say this three times)
