Okay.. I'm posting this to try and help my friend's family out because they need all the help they can get. I've mentioned Ria and her brother's dilema before on here with him needing a kidney transplant. Things haven't changed, just their bills for the procedures and his dialysis treatments.

Quoting THIS ARTICLE:

“You never know what anybody is going through.” - Kathy(Ria & Chris's mom)

Click the link to read the full article, please. I've created a news article as well here - [link]

If anyone here would like to help somehow, donation or something, please let me know.

Oh.. and on Nov 15th, if anyone's near or around Glendwood Springs, Colorado.. there's an event being held in honor of Chris..



Saturday November 15

(stealing this last bit from Ria's note on facebook XD)
It will be $15 at the door which includes live music, food, and the chance to bid at the silent auction. There is A LOT of stuff in the auction, and a lot of really good stuff from local businesses and restaurants.

I wish I could come to the auction :(

I can't donate anything at the moment because I'm flat broke, but I'm hoping to get some into my paypal account with my next paycheck and I'll definitley donate a little then. My sister has bad kidney problems too so I kinda know what its like :( Give Ria a hug for me... and big hugs to you too :hug: You're an awesome friend to be helping out like this :heart: I'll keep Chris in my prayers!

Well the auction is all the way in Colorado.. I wish I could go as well but I'm not :(

Ria says thank you and that she'll keep your sister in mind, and I will too :hug: Kidney problems seem to be the epidemic going around these days >< Blech hope your sister gets better. If you wanna talk or just rant to me you can through notes or emails :cuddle: :heart:

I had an idea... I want to do a thing for Sara (I posted a thing about her) and Ria's brother too. I was thinking I could set up a raffle thing, and everyone who donates $5 or moer will have their name entered in a list to win something, including a free commission from me, and hopefully stuff from other people. I was thinking of doing two seperate ones for each cause. What do you think? Will you ask Ria for me if that's ok with her? :hug:

Do you mean to have this kind of thing here on DA or in RL? I can donate a free vector from me of something simplistic? If it's on here anyway.. don't think anyone in the real world there would be too interested in one. >>

I'll ask her.. lemme know more details on what you're wanting to plan though please? :) :hug:

Might be a day or two til i get her response though

Yea, I was thinking on dA... if you could set up a paypal account to take donations, we could ask everyone who donates to let us know and we'll add their name to a list (a private list incase they don't want others to see their names). On a scheduled date we can pick a random name and they'll win the prize- or we might have 3 winners, depending on how many people donate.

If someone wants to help but can't donate money, they can donate a prize to help urge others to donate, like free artwork or a subscription or something. Senshistock who's organizing the other one for Sara told me she'd link to my journal if I do one for Sara, so if I do one for her and Ria's bro together, that might get some more exposure for his cause...

If I'm making sense ^^:
