Many of you in the community may have heard about the devastating fire in St.Bernard this past week as a result of the storm. A fund has been setup at
5/3rd Bank - The Cox Family Fund. The family has been devastated and has lost
their home as well as all of their personal belongings. Tragically, a nineteen yr. old girl that was Seven months pregnant lost her life in the fire.
Any donations to this fund would be greatly appreciated and accepted at any Fifth Third Bank Branch.
For more information, please contact Neal Morris at 505-0677.

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.
Our goal is a large one and we hope it will encourage public understanding of the needs of so many emotionally challenged adoptees young and old.
Together, we can begin to change the lives of so many people that deserve to live in peace, good health and a brighter future with ALL of our help.
Sincerely with the kindest of regards,
Michael Sansone?

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
