Success is comming

Hello everyone,
Again I apologize for taking so long between blogs. I got a job that is taking up a lot of my time and with school, well I don't have enough hours in the day!!! I picked up the "official" bi-laws from the lawyer this week and have an appointment with the CPA on Saturday the 23rd to finalize the 1023 application to the IRS. I am so excited to see this most awesome project moving along. I emailed Oprah a dozen times asking her to do a show on PTSD. Just tonight I went to her web site to suggest it again, low and behold, the home page on her site (oprah.com) has just one question for "do you want to be on the show".....and it is "suffering from PTSD?" WOW, I think they just might be considering doing a show on the subject. How exciting would that be? And if she lets me come on the show and talk about what we are trying to accomplish...... It is just the national attention that would boost us into success!!! I suppose I am going to get alot of work done tonight considering my adrenalin is now going about a million miles a minute!! Can't wait to share more with you all later. Thanks so much for your interest and your concern with our heroes and making sure we as a nation take care of them. It is so important. These troops are ALL volunteers. They deserve our attention and commitment to helping them when they return home. My latest idea of a fund raiser is "Sponsor a Soldier" The idea is, that most every soldier over there does a 15 month tour of duty. You can sponsor one at a dollar a month for the length of their tour. If they are giving up 15 months of their lives, we can give up a dollar a month that each service member is there for, that only comes out to a quarter a week for 15 months. At any one time, there is 130,000 troops in country. If the foundation can get 130,000 people to sponsor just one troop at a dollar a month for the length of their stay, that is only 15 dollars, the foundation will receive 1,950,000!!! As soon as that goal is reached, we can start providing the care these guys so desperately need and deserve. I kicked off the campaign myself today with a 15 dollar donation in my own son's name. Very soon, we will have a page on the web site for this goal. (probably by Friday). Please visit us again soon and you don't have to wait for the special pledge page, you can right now donate the 15 dollars and your name and the name of the soldier you sponsor will be on a special page soon. If you don't have a particular soldier in mind, that’s ok too. Just be a sponsor of an anonymous one. Thank you again so much for your interest and support in this most important cause.
