Are y’all ready to spread a little love? :-)
Today we have such an incredible opportunity to minister to our sweet friend Heather and her family. If you’re not familiar with the story behind this love offering, you can click here to see all the details.
If you are familiar with the story and ready to BLESS HEATHER’S SOCKS OFF, click on the little “Make A Donation” button below. The minimum donation is just one dollar – but certainly you may give more if you’d like. Your transaction will be completely secure via PayPal, whether you pay with your own PayPal account, your bank account, or a major credit card. If you don’t feel led to give or aren’t able to give today, then you can still contribute by praying for Heather and her family – and I know that they will be beyond grateful for your prayers.
Also: if you’ve supported this love offering for Heather by posting about it on your own blog, by praying about it, by praying for Heather and her family, or by contributing financially, then I’d love for you to leave a comment here that says, simply, “I’m in.”
I’ll be posting updates on our progress throughout the day, and don’t worry – the donation button will stay active for a couple of weeks, at least. So if you can’t contribute right this second, that is perfectly fine…you can come back by tomorrow or the next day and still have the opportunity to give.
More than anything, may God be glorified as His children come forward to lift up sweet Heather.
Thanks, y’all, for everything – and I’ll keep you posted!

I’m in!
I was thinking about all of this, and you know what gets me the most? We are doing exactly what we are called to do- lifting up and supporting a sister in her greatest time of needs.
I cried when I saw the last update.
Praying for you Heather!
I’m in. I put it up on my blog a few days ago. My husband and I are praying.
Count me in. (I’m a friend of Dawnz.) Thank you for doing this.

The Laundry Pile Chips in happily!
I’m in. Although I do not even have a dollar in my account to give I will give you all my prayers for Heather and her family. I even tried going on the Oprah message board to lead people this way, but it did not work, I could not get on. Oh well, maybe by the end of the day. Anyway, prayers and I wish I could do more :)
Tessa, Please please do not apologize- Your prayers are so very important and so very much a blessing to me. Thank you!
I am still just baffled. Completely and utterly astounded. Oh. My. Word.
I’m in!
May God continue to bless you!
We’re in over at Mormon Mommy Wars. All the best to you and your family.
Lots of Heathers around, huh?
Oh, sorry, I blew the link!
I’m in — and I am so touched by Heather and her family and their incredible faith. I just found this blog today and have read about the medical trials of both Emma Grace and now of Heather. We here in Rockwall, Texas are praying for this beautiful family!
I’m In!!!!
WOW! I just can’t believe it! God does so good, doesn’t He?
Thanks, BooMama for heading this up and especially for the verse at the bottom…”not to us…but to Your Name be the glory!”
I’m so excited!
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be a part of blessing this sweet amazing young woman. Whatever amount is raised, she has contributed so much more by way of her unwavering inspiring testimony. And thank you, Boomama, for always spearheading such important efforts. I’m definitely in.
God’s people ROCK! (and so do you!)
I’m in. Praying for Heather and her family. God is soooooo good!!! Praise His Name!!!
Alone, we can do so little; together we can do so much. May God continue to work through you.

I am touched by Heather’s story and will be praying for her and her family.
I’m in…
Dearest Heather, I am on my bended knee for you and your precious family. This show of love is but a shower compared to the downpour of grace God has in store for you. You get to know Him in these days in a way many of us never will.
Deut. 4:7 “What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him?”
He is near to you dear one…

If one can put a thousand to flight, two can put 10,000 to flight–imagine what this is looking like right now! “But you will chase your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword (the word of God–sharper than a two-edged sword); five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword. Lev. 26:7-8 “And the Word (Jesus) became flesh, and dwelt amoung us, and we beheld His glord, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grade and truth.” John 1:14
I have my Bible study praying for Heather as well.

I was going to wait until I was like comment 300, but 288 will have to do. I’m in now even though I never quite got this up on my blog. Working has put a bit of a damper on the blog activity as of late.
And of course, I am praying for her!
My eyes literally popped when I saw the updated amount over $10,000. WOW.
Steph
I’m in. God bless her and her family, and you, too!
How long are you going to keep this up, to make donations I mean? That way I can try to get people to come over.
I just saw the total of being over $10,000 and my heart is singing God’s Amazing Grace!! May God receive all the glory in this triumph!!
Dear precious people
What a blessing you are. My daughter is overwhelmed by the expressions of love, and the care and concern you are showing for her and her family. She is standing “Bare-footed” before the Lord. My daughter is truely an amazing girl, and I sometimes am left speechless by her faith and strength. Thank again for allowing the very tangible presence of the Lord to be felt and expressed through you, to my baby girl.
We are honored to be a part of this great effort. Thank you for organizing this great effort.
I’m in! God Bless!
“Sometimes God calms the storm, sometimes He calms the child within the storm.”
I’m in. My prayers are with Heather, her husband, and her family.
Wow! This is awesome – I’m in. Blessings abundant to Heather and her family!
I’m in.
I can’t imagine my own dear children having to deal with such stress. I am so thankful for my own health and that God allows me each day with my own kids.
I truly hope Heather is blessed with complete recovery.
I’m a day late but I just donated and blogged about it. This is awesome!
Praying for Heather ~

We’re in! Thank you so much for allowing us to contribute. What an honor to be allowed to be a blessing in some small way. We will be praying for Heather & family.
