I am begging for help here

[bobcat1]

Some of you know my brother's wife is fighting cancer. It is about to financially wipe them out. She hasn't been able to work at all with this carp.

Jigum Jigs, Ernest Paty, and Cliff Spindle Guide service have already donated fishing items to the Silent Auction and I appreciate them for doing so. We have a gun raffle for a Weatherby Vanguard 257 Magnum and scope and you can contact my son Jacob at 817-851-2704 for that Tickets are $10 a piece and is being run like a football pool. If that one sells out we will be doing another gun like a Benelli Shotgun at $20 a square. All are welcome to attend just please let us know by calling the phone number on the flyer below or sending me a PM. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated by them and me.

I am catching fish as fast as I can hoping to have plenty of Crappie. There will also be BBQ and Hotdogs. I heard there might be a Lemon Roll too and it is a blast to watch and participate in. I heard there are free T-Shirts for all donations with your name printed on it. Rena, the lady with the phone number on the brochure, 940-631-2564 can get you the details on that. Cash donations are accepted too. We have set up a 501c3 bank account for that. Cash donations are accepted too.
We have set up a bank account at Citibank with the account name "Stomp It Susan" for that. You can email my niece at chelc_dawn@sbcglobal.net to get the banking information. You can also send anything to me at 3916 Fairfield Place, Frisco, TX 75035


I really did not know how to do this and did not want to and I hope no one gets offended with it. But I had to do it for them. I know all too well times are tough all over. So help if you want to but please pray for them and us if you can't. Thanks!

I will see what I can do. Heres a thought tho. Its called a 50/50 raffle. Get say 200 tickets. Sale them for $20 each. The pot will be $4000.00. The winner gets 50% and you keep 50%. Its a very easy way to drum up some money. My sons sports team use it all the time to raise money.

Just so happens, I committed to make a donation to the Breast Cancer Society...

I think they will get over it, so I would like to send you a check. Should I make it out to Susan or you? Either way, I guess I can mail it to you, right?

[bobcat1]

hey bobcat, how your sister in law doing? just thought about her yeaterday and realized i havent asked about her in too long.... She is hanging in there. The last Cat Scan showed the tumors had shrunk. Her blood cell count got up good enough to start another round of chemo last week. Still praying here for God's grace and healing power. Keep a prayin Downlow!
