Hello to all my JPF friends. I'm writing to all of you today in extreme need of some assistance. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this on the forums or if you are even supposed to post a this kind of post at all and if you are not than I sincerely apologize. However, it is at upmost importance. My family faces a major mountain ahead of us. To make a long story short I have a disabled (diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy) little sister that if we can't get a house handicapped house built for her soon we will have to send her off away from the house and her family to accommodate her needs. This will not only kill her spirits and the progress she has made but as well devastate her family. She is bound to a wheelchair for movement but for years we have lived in a trailor and my mother has been forced to carry her through the house and the sibling I speak of is now 18 years old with limited movement abilities so you can imagine her weight. On top of that my mother has now been diagnosed with MS which is taking over her body quickly. She can not do what she has been doing much longer. I have created a facebook page hoping it will help spread the word world wide and bring not only some attention to the situation but also some possible donations. Hailey and the family are only asking a single $1 from every and anyone. The donations I speak of can be sent to a P.O Box Hailey House P.O Box 721 Booneville, MS 38829 To read more about Hailey and the situation or to check out the facebook page here is the url http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002947942488Reason I have went this route is that we don't make enough income for the high monthly mortgages for the charities out there that come in and build you a home like Home Make Over and Habitat for Humanity. The family and I only have a P.O Box because in the state of Mississippi you have to be on a waiting list for around two years to become a non profit charity. I hoped that with the power of social media and the amount of people that could be reached and a small asking of a single dollar that we would get somewhere however to date we only have had $21 come through and that's from two individuals. I'm asking for the help from my JPF friends and fellow musicians not only in the form of a dollar donation but also if you don't have it or don't feel comfortable sending even a dollar to a stranger then by simply telling another about this will be an angelic act. we will gladly accept marketing ideas and strategies as to how get this thing rolling better. Also please all of you that have facebook go and friend her to help bring the attention to the effort. Just simply search Hailey's House . Thanks to you all and God Bless. Again if this is not the place for it I am sincerely sorry.
