Kelley's Cause

So for all my blog readers or soon to be blog readers, check out my friend Kelley's blogsite too:

Kelley is the youngest member in my second family. You know how that goes, the house on the block that you just ran in and out of as if it were your own. The Goddu house was like that for me. With three girls in their family and three in mine, we ran the neighborhood, biked to school together, swam on swim team together you name it. Kelley had a diving accident three years ago that left her with the prognosis of "only being able to shrug her shoulders and move her head." Kelley has since worked her butt off at special therapy clinic down in Atlanta, GA where through everyday work and exercise she has regained a considerable amount of motion in her arms and can push herself in her manual chair--certainly far more than expected in the more traditional setting. Of course like many health programs in our country, her program costs a ridiculous amount of money each week, let alone for the full three month cycles for which she is down in GA. Consequently, the percentage of continued therapy is becoming reflective upon the donations of businesses and any person or family that takes the time to donate to her non-profit site. You can read more about her on her blog site and follow the link to her non-profit site for donations too on the link above. This is the friend that I did art lessons with this summer and she did a fantastic job with oils and watercolors--the watercolor piece she developed on to cards (flowers) and are available for sale if you'd like some gorgeous stationary to write letters or gift to your letter-writing pals.
