Help My Friend and Win a Nook or Kindle!

There's one last push in the raffle to raise money to help my friend, Sandi Rog, writer and mother of four, pay for cancer treatments.

Below is the information sent by the lovely Alison Strobel Morrow, who's heading up the event:

Hey everyone! Thank you all SO MUCH for all the donating and spreading of the word that you did back in November for the fundraiser. We've raised over $7000 so far, which is just amazing!! The fundraiser closes on Christmas Eve, so we're doing one last push to try to reach our goal and help Sandi pursue her new treatment completely debt-free.

This time we're raffling off gift cards and the winner's choice of either a Kindle Fire or a Nook Color! Everyone is starting from zero in terms of tickets, so if you donated before you'll need to donate again to be entered into these raffles--BUT tickets are only $2! Check out thispost on the fundraiser blog for all the details.

In order to reach our goal, we're going to have to reach people who haven't heard about the fundraiser yet. Would you be willing to send an email out to friends and family? Post it in your blog or on your Facebook or Twitter? As before, if you want to host a contest for your blog readers, just let your readers know to note the contest in the note section on their donation, and then let me know when your deadline is up and I'll report back to you who donated. Also, we really need more gift cards to donate; so far we only have two. :( If you work for, or have a connection of some kind to, a national store/restaurant that would be willing to donate a gift card of $50-$100, please let me know ASAP so I can contact them. (Or, contact them yourself and feel free to either cc me in on the email or to introduce the idea to them and have me follow up. Whatever works for you!)

Thanks in advance to all of you for rallying around our sister and her family as she fights for her life!
