I have a Dear Friend that is GREAT NEED of HELP-PLEASE READViews: 37

PLEASE help me out by sending this to your friends and families! Thanks! From Connie Smith HI Everybody!

This is a REAL AUCTION that I am going to have on eBay for two MARY ENGLEBREIT framed pictures and a Mary Englebreit book. I will email everyone and I hope in turn you will email everyone on your email lists with the information and dates for this auction which will be starting in the next week! (and please send THIS email out to everyone you know so that this auction goal gets out there to as many people as possible!). I am also contacting local newspapers to have them include this auction as an article in their papers.
My dear nurse friend, C. Miller of Collinsville, Illinois is battling cancer for the third time . She has had two cancer surgeries over the past three years—a colon resection ,and then a year later she had to have a lobe of her lung removed due to the cancer had returned. Once again, the cancer is back and she is in chemotherapy for the third time!
One of her major concerns is that when she is too ill to be able to work that #1 -she may lose her home, and also #2 -not be able to continue her health insurance due to loss of her income. This is a sad reality that many individuals suffering from a serious disease often face—once they are unable to work and no money coming in, and no more sick days available—the bills do not get paid.
My GOAL is to be able to auction these items and raise enough money to meet at least one of her needs. I am hoping that those who read this will bid and bid often on these eBay items that I post. I am hoping that the KINDNESS and GIVING flood the eBay item site and we can open our hearts to a fellow human being, who as a nurse as helped thousands over the years!. THANK YOU a head of time for reading this and passing it on to EVERYONE you know—this is an email worth forwarding EVERYWHERE!
Like I said, this is a REAL auction for a friend that I LOVE dearly! Please, please open your hearts and give/bid! IF anyone has questions, please contact me Connie (Libby) Smith at duke98hd@charter.net.

Bless you all!

Connie Smith
