Default Raffling off a project for a cause

I don't mind giving for causes like this. What is your giveforward site,
Karl?


Actually, I found out about it after the fact, Han. It was setup without
my input, or her knowledge, by a family friend, strictly for her
benefit. She's very independent and had a problem with accepting it at
first, but the reality of her bills piling up so fast has tempered that
reluctance. Just so you know, this young lady has lived with this since
birth (with a wise and kind inner strength beyond her years), had to
recently undergo surgery to save her eyesight and, despite being dealt a
'tough row to hoe' in life for young woman (it took fifteen years of
research and a team of doctors to diagnose and decide upon a treatment,
which may or may not work), has never failed a self imposed obligation
to help those even less fortunate by volunteering, since her early teens
to help children with disabilities at MD Anderson here in Houston. She
is driven to do this for those kids, and who better than someone who can
empathize with persona experience? AAMOF, while currently undergoing
this experimental treatment, which is so debilitating that many who
embark upon on it stay in bed for the entire year of its course, or
quit, she has the fortitude to both continue to work, as well as to be
back in school working on an Education Certificate to better teach kids
with disabilities ... if anyone is worthy ... nuff said.

So, since you asked:
