Wishes for Isaac
In about 12 weeks, Baby Isaac will be born.
Instead of joyfully preparing to bring him home, his parents are preparing to say farewell soon after his birth.
You see, Baby Isaac has been diagnosed with anencephaly and will only live a little while after he is born. It could be seconds, minutes or even hours.
I have known his mother, Misty, through the blogging world for a couple of years now. She is one of the most inspiring people I have ever met (and I have met her in real life). She has already been through so much in her life, and wants nothing more than to be the mother of as many children as possible. She is such an amazing example to me of what motherhood should be, as I read about her adventures with her three older children.
Now, I see her as a great example of strength and faith as she works through this latest trial.
As you can imagine, the expenses, both medical and burial, will add up for Misty and her family, who already don't have a lot to begin with. I want to help. I would love it if you decide that you want to help, too.
You can donate to the PayPal account that has been set up for Isaac at wishesforisaac@gmail.com The money raised will be given to Misty and her family to help cover the costs that will be incurred.
The way I figure it, if every person who reads my blog today only donated 5 or 10 dollars we could easily have 1000 dollars for Isaac and Misty.
If you want to spread the word on your own blog, here is html code for a button that will link back to this post. (I really hope it works...I am no html genius, but Google helped me with this.) I think it works now, please let me know if you have problems.
If you would like more information about Isaac and his condition, please go to Misty's blog: A Road Less Traveled and read Misty's beautiful thoughts there.
Thank you all.
