| This is Sam. He's adorable and people love him and he has cancer. No fair. |
If you haven't read the story, you should. Sam was brought into this world and into the arms of his loving parents through a gestational surrogate, JW Moxie who blogs at The Smartness. Now he's been diagnosed with leukemia (no fair), and Moxie is going all out to rally the troops in his support. Please take a moment to visit the Save Our Sam website and find out how you can help, even if it's just to leave a note of encouragement for Sam and his family. And please, keep praying!
How to help:
To send love from afar, sign up for SOS Care Mail and give little Sam something to look forward to and distract him from the yuckiness. He's a kid, you guys! Kids love mail and presents! And kids with cancer need stuff they love coming at them every day.
If you're in the Savannah area (I'm totally not, but maybe you are?), show some local love.
If you make stuff and sell it, or if you have the talent to make stuff that people might potentially want to buy, or you know someone who does, and you and/or your friend like self-promotion, brand exposure, saving lives, and good karma, consider joining the SOS Online Store.
Visit Sam's Caring Bridge site and leave a note for Sam and his family. They read them and they love them.
And of course, follow Save our Sam to keep updated on other ways you can help.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping to spread the word about Sam. Strength in numbers, right? :) I just hope that we can keep the momentum going!

ReplyDeleteWish I could do more but Sam & his family are in my prayers
ReplyDeleteOh lord. After reading your post above, I just spent a while catching up on the Sam story, from his amazing birth story (Moxie sounds amazing, in so many ways) to the diagnosis. I think Aura and I need to get on the case here. Thanks for posting about this.
