Louisiana Webs of Hope

 http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=46652876

Throughout our lives we go through different seasons and changes and events. The meaning of this site is to give hope and support to some parents,friends and families of children who are suffering with cancer in Louisiana. Oh, of course we know there are people outside of Louisiana that have cancer...but we wanted to devote our time and services to the people who were near and dear to our hearts living right here in Cajun Country. Meechie was from right here in Louisiana himself! He lived in Raceland with his family. We wish we could help all of the children in the world but our resources are limited.

We want any parent or child or friend or family member who sees this site to understand that we are in effect trying to RAISE AWARENESS of Childhood Cancer! We will eventually have many children on this site and hope to help each and everyone of them in our own special way. Most of all, we want you to know that what ever money we raise WILL be going to  CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH or to a family with a child that has cancer that is in need of monetary funding! 

If you go to Dani's page to purchase Avon you must specify that you want a certain portion of the funds to go to Childhood Cancer Research as selling Avon is her JOB also! She will have some specific fund raisers where All of the monies will go toward the fundraising from time to time! We will let you know when that will take place!

We are hoping to have scheduled events to raise monies also...not sure what yet...but the Good Lord will help us through that part aslo!!

 Email Dawn @ Sweetnspicy147@yahoo.com  or Dani @ hotbabydoc@yahoo.com with your child's name and we can go from there. Each child will get their own page with their biography and diagnosis welcome aboard!! We cannot stress enough how much we love each and every one of you and your families! We will do whatever we can for you within our means  if you let us know what you need. "Love thy Neighbor as thyself!" We truly believe in that statement!!!  Don't forget to sign the guestbook and check out the forum!!"
