Several years ago my friend Phyllis Jablonowski of Eventricity asked me to be part of a Holiday Wish List for The Breathing Room Foundation…
They are a local organization that recognizes that a cancer diagnosis affects every aspect of a family's life; emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial.
They strive to provide a family with whatever it is that will allow them a bit of "breathing room" from their daily struggle against cancer.
It is their hope that this will allow them to concentrate all of their efforts toward regaining their physical health.
As the child of a mom who battled breast cancer from the time I was eight… I couldn't agree more…
Each year their Holiday Wish List helps over 75 local families –
You can help by:
- Fulfilling the wish list of an entire family
- Fulfilling the wish list of one individual
- Purchasing just one gift from a wish list
- Donating a holiday meal to be delivered
- Making a tax-exempt donation toward this project
- Purchasing gift certificates – Grocery stores, Target, Walmart, Blockbuster
- Offering to deliver the gifts to the families
- Consider adopting a family with your co-workers
- Bake holiday cookies for the families
