The Lowe's finding Joy in their Journey

My friend of 30+ years Leah (Bowles) Lowe was diagnosed with T-cell Lymphoma back in June 2010. At that time she was the bread winner as her husband decided to change careers and went back to school. She underwent 6 months of chemotherapy followed by a bone marrow transplant. And thus far, it's looking good.

Recently, her family was nominated and chosen by an organization called "Memories of Love" to receive a Walt Disney World Vacation package! They are providing hotel accommodations and Park Passes. However, they do not cover the travel expenses to get from Arizona to Florida or food. So originally they thought it was a dream come true... until they realized how much it would cost to get their family of 6 to Florida.

Leah has gone through so much... and like one of her friend's recently said- she's pretty much "a walking miracle!" We're so glad she is still with us, and want to be able to help send her family to Disney World... so they can enjoy some happy memories together as a family. (Leah and her husband have 4 children.)
A paypal account was set up by another friend that people can donate to. It's probably going to cost somewhere between $3,000-$4,000 to get the whole family down to Florida. But we were figuring that if we could just get the word out... maybe her friends could each chip in a little... and maybe our friends can chip in a little... and we can make this dream come true for her!
(P.S. If you know her kids, you're not allowed to tell them this is a possibility! This is going to be a surprise!)

So... please help us spread the word and raise funds to send Leah and her family to Florida!

Here's the link to the paypal account: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=xVjxUVxdm3Un2q_6Np9X4lpLBveJfiR8q9hIlsQUonFO7j5qmuzWW8qbd_a&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8d9384d85353843a619606282818e091d0




I also thought I would help her by donating money I make off of my Family Proclamation Pictures. http://proclamationpictures.blogspot.com/
