GO Mamelodi...
Hi All,
Through listening to Q102, I've learned how big a part giving back is to the Cincinnati community. In fact it is a large part of what makes me proud to be from Cincinnati. I am writing because I'm hoping Q102 listeners can help out with this worthy cause. A couple of years ago, my church (Crossroads Community church), teamed up with a church in South Africa in the city of Mamelodi to help the people of Mamelodi, and has been sending work groups for the past two years to do things such as building homes, planting gardens, providing medical services, etc.
Mamelodi is a large township comparable in size to Cincinnati, just outside of Pretoria, the capital city of South Africa. Due to the past injustices of apartheid, Mamelodi is one of the poorest places in South Africa. Most of the residents have never had medical care and many do not have adequate clothing. The township of Mamelodi has many orphans due to the AIDS virus taking many of their parents. The AIDS proliferation rate in Mamelodi is around 40%. Many of the residents are also hungry and suffer from malnutrition.
Another work team is going again this November. Through discussions with the Medical Team and others, I found that the following items are always in short supply there:
1) Vitamins (this is the number one line of defense for keeping people alive who either suffer from AIDS or malnutrition).
2) Items typically found in First Aid Packs such as:
A) Band-Aids
B) Antibiotic Ointments
C) Gauze pads
D) Unsterile Gloves
E) Ibuprofen / Tylenol
3) New or gently worn shoes. The first year we sent a team, they treated a child with a laceration on his foot. He was barefoot and the wound had become infected. After treating the wound, one of the American teens that was there, gave up a pair of his shoes to the boy, so that his foot would not get dirty and re-infected again. A while later another barefoot boy came and started cutting his foot with a piece of glass, just because he thought he could get a pair of shoes this way.
4) Old, but still functioning eye glasses, reading glasses, or sun glasses. (There is an optometrist on the Medical Team that goes every year and matches prescriptions of glasses to the people he examines).
Donations can be dropped off at Crossroads church, 3500 Madison Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45209.
513-731-7400
Please bring donations in bags or boxes marked “Go Mamelodi.” The deadline for donations (so that we can bring them with us on the trip), is October 25th.
Please know that I am writing this as a personal appeal, and not as any official request from Crossroads. I just believe that the need here is bigger than any one church or charitable organization can handle.
Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Stuart Rayner

Nickels for Nickie
“Nickels” for Nickie
Four years ago, our sister Nicole, was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari, a condition where her brainstem is elongated into her spinal canal. She is now a single mother with a 3 year old daughter. Her condition worsened to the point where surgery was required immediately. Her surgery was performed on August 27, 2008. Due to the surgery, stay in the hospital and recovery time, Nickie was forced to quit her job. This caused financial problems, which caused her to file bankruptcy and lose her home. Unfortunately due to complications after her original surgery, Nickie was readmitted on September 14, 2008, had another surgery on September 17, 2008 which led to another hospital stay and more recovery time. Nickie’s funds are very limited and therefore we are trying to raise money for her to offset the high costs of surgery and medical bills incurred due to this condition.

Mum sale...
Fall is here and with the cooler weather comes the annual Natorp Mum and Pansy Coupon sale to benefit the Wendy Faulkner Memorial Children’s
Foundation. We are selling coupons for $5.50 which will allow you to
choose from a wide selection of 8" pots of mums or pansies from Natorp’s Nursery. These beautiful plants retail for $6.99 - $8.99 and come in a wide variety of colors.
As many of you may know, Wendy was a Mason resident and White Blossom neighbor who was tragically murdered on 9/11 at the World Trade Center.
After her death, her family started the Wendy Faulkner Memorial Children’s Foundation to continue Wendy’s legacy of caring for those less fortunate. Prior efforts have been focused on providing food and clothing to the children in the Mercy and Grace Orphanage in India.
Knowing the importance that Wendy placed on education, the Foundation decided to expand their role at Mercy and Grace and is now focused on providing funding for the children’s educational needs. In June 2008, the Wendy Faulkner Foundation provided funding for all of the children's books, learning supplies and20school uniforms. In August, the Foundation was able to provide funding to employ four certified teachers and three teaching assistants to provide education for all of the children in English, Math, Science, Social Studies and Computer Skills.
All proceeds from the sale of the Natorp coupons will be used to help educate the children from Mercy and Grace which the goal of empowering them to eventually earn for themselves a better and happier life. More details on these efforts can be found on the website:
www.WendyFoundation.org.
Please contact me if you would like to purchase coupons for yourself or your friends. I can be reached by phone or e-mail (607-4280 /

Walk for Adoption..
His name is Louie and is an Autistic adopted child suffering from RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder).? He is suffering terribly and his family is bearing the brunt of that suffering with him. It is our duty and our honor to bring his story, along with thousands of other children and all adoptees still suffering?s to you in an effort to change their lives forever.
Louies story touched me personally, and his story reaffirmed my determination to help so many other children and adoptees that need our communities love, help and support.? Together we can change adoptees lives that were so tragically altered by adoption and the horrific emotional aftermath it can and does cause.
Louie love is hiking and the outdoors. I want to encourage his future in hiking and the outdoors. Today, we can help Louise with his love and promote not only his lifelong recovery but our affirmation as a community to the cause of goodness and support of so many we refuse to leave behind.
As an adoptee myself, I suffered 29 years with RAD and chose after finding my family and learning of my history to help other adoptee?s in hopes that they may never have to experience what I did. It?s my turn to help y community that I did my best to destroy while suffering from RAD.
I want to begin by asking you to say a prayer for Louise as he is a child we refuse to forget. Then, I would like to ask for your donation as outlined below. Your support of Louise and so many heartwarming stories like his will only further our cause to assist adoptees to follow not only their dreams but the activities that give them hope of a brighter future.

Molly's diabetes walk...
Dear Julie,
With that in mind, I am writing to ask you to support Molly in finding> a cure for Juvenile Diabetes. During the last year, she has had to learn many new words and skills foreign to most five year olds. I think you'll agree that she has given our family a lesson in bravery, and now, we have a chance to give something back to her. On Saturday, October 25 at Inverness Park (in Birmingham), the local chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) holds its annual Walk to Cure Diabetes to raise funds to help find a cure. This year Molly’s Marchers will make their debut appearance in the walk, and we are asking for your participation. There are three levels of support we are focusing on: your prayers, your presence, and your gifts.
1) Prayers: We ask that each of you say a prayer for Molly on October 25 at 9 am as we begin the Walk to Cure Diabetes, praying for strength, for bravery, and for a cure.
2) Presence: we want to show our support for Molly by walking with her. Our goal is that Molly’s Marchers will comprise a team of 100 walkers. Of course, this is probably not practical for all of you, but I wanted you to be included in the invitation. Each participant will receive a t-shirt for the event. You can sign up on-line by going to> the following web address:> http://walk.jdrf.org/register.cfm?id=87101186
3) Gifts: We also have a financial goal for Molly’s Marchers to raise $20,000 for JDRF. Eighty-five cents of each dollar raised goes directly to diabetes research. With your participation of just $50, we can reach our financial goal and bring us that much closer to a cure. You may want to write a check made out to “JDRF” with “Molly’s Marchers” in the tag line. Send it to JDRF Alabama Chapter, 14 Office Park Circle, Suite 115, Birmingham, AL, 35223. Or, you can donate> today using the following address: http://walk.jdrf.org/support.cfm?id=87101186
Finally, you can see a five-minute video of Molly’s journey over the last year is posted on YouTube.com and can be seen by searching the site for “Molly’s Marchers” (for Molly’s JDRF Video 2008) or by going to the following web address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T4Qk2StpR8 We would love it if you would pass this information along to anyone in Cincinnati that you think might enjoy seeing it or be willing to make a donation (or walk for that matter!!!) We will call later today or tomorrow when the baby arrives to let you know if our family should be considered Cunningham South with 2 girls and two boys. Thank you in advance for your participation. In Molly’s own words at the end of the video...”and we’re waiting for a cure, please give today.”
Sincerely,
Stephen and Gretel
With that in mind, I am writing to ask you to support Molly in finding> a cure for Juvenile Diabetes.

Spa for Lauren...
Spa for Lauren
Sept. 14, 2008 @ 4pm
This is Lauren Bells, a three year old who has just been diagnosed (Sept 14, 2007) with a Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). This is an aggressive brain stem tumor which commonly affects children ages 5 - 10 years old. It is estimated that there are less than 100 cases per year in the U.S.The statistics are dire:
· Due to the nature of this cancer, there are no surgical options available.
· With radiation, the median survival rate is less than 12 months.
· The chance of survival beyond 1 year is less than 8%.
Visit this website for updates on Lauren: http://www.laurenmackenziebells.com/index.htm
Please come by for a fund-raising SPA at my house on September 14th. If you can't make it, but would like to place an order to support the cause, please let me know.
