I hate to be the pessimist here but.... I'll be the first to give, but I just need verification that this is legit. Does anyone know the family personally here? With all the scam artists you hear about the in media, it sort of makes you gun shy about giving. If someone can verify the validity of this story, let me know and I'll whip something up or give up something special to me to be auctioned.

This is a very sad story, however, I certainly hope that it has a happy ending...it is great to see how the board members are pulling together so positively to help her and her family at this time...

This should be taken as a lesson to us all to not take anything for granted and enjoy every second we have with our loved ones...life can be so fantastic and such a complete I FART A LOT, all at the same time...

I don't pray, but this cute little girl and her family are certainly receiving some positive thoughts from my direction and, for those of you that do---now would be a good time...

Best wishes...

There are a lot of people on the KR board that know Ava's mom, Ally, and she has been a contributing boarder over there for some time. People have seen the little girl in the hospital also. I think you are quite safe in donating to this cause. Check with Knewnan here, I think he knows her personally...

edit...just like he said above...

Yeah, I sent over some money, just feels a little 'distant' than sending something in.

Going to try and get something and send a card over.

How do the bills go with something like this? would they be covered by health insurance, not sure how it works as we have the NHS. Which for all its faults is a fantastic resource.

Yeah, it is sad. I'm truly broke, so I can't send money, but I did send a figure for the auction.

Does anyone know what kind of cancer she has? Just curious.
