School Supply Drive for the Vancouver School District

I am always looking for a way to help others less fortunate than my family. We don't have a lot, but I know others struggle harder than we do. Kids in need really pull on my heart strings. My daughter will come home from school with flyers regarding the purchase of a school shirt or donations of items to school events, and it always asks if we can donate an additional item or $2 for another student who can't. Of course I do, every time.

I want to make a bigger impact than an additional $2. I asked my employer if we could run our first school supply drive. I knew the answer would be yes. We have contacted the Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools (go like them on Facebook) and have organized a drive to support first graders in need.

If you'd like to help us, please view the flyer and donate any items listed. You can also share our flyer with others to spread the word.

Thank you!!

Dear cancer,

You are scum. You serve no positive purpose in the world. You hurt too many people. You end the lives of too many people. No one should have to feel the pain that you cause their bodies to endure. I truly hate you. You have affected my loved ones and I refuse to accept that.

I am only one person and I am not skilled enough to invent the cure that will demolish you. I can however raise the money that funds the research that ultimately will lead to your elimination. I will raise money that helps caregivers of cancer patients. I will raise money that provides aid to cancer patients to receive their treatments. I might not live to see your end, but while I live, I will watch the number of deaths decrease while the number of birthdays celebrated increase.

Goodbye cancer. There’s no room for you in our world.
