Hello Everyone. It is another one of those "dog days of summer" here in Oklahoma! I think the high is supposed to be somewhere around 105 degrees, like really who turned on the oven? lol

I have talked to Paula this morning and she has been feeling a bit miserable for the last couple days. So keep her in your prayers. We have still been holding out for the phone call to tell her to come in for her new liver, we don't even care when or what time of day it happens, just want it to happen soon...very soon. So keep saying those prayers...I think we are 1 step closer every day.

Well the most fun thing to report is that we are @ almost $16,000 raised in just a few short months. This is amazing.

Last Thursday night, July 9, 2009, the National Foundation for Transplants (NFT) held a banquet for the patients, caregivers, chairperson and treasurers. This was an event to allow each campaign to recognize they are not alone. This was a good evening for all of us. I was even more shocked to receive the Oklahoma Volunteer of the Year Award. This came as a complete surprise to me; however, I have to say without a large group of wonderful people I would not have been the recipient of that award, so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!! You have all been an exceptional help for Paula's cause.

With that all being said, I will say...I will be in touch soon to get the next fundraising event rolling. If you have any questions please feel free to call or email me.
