Love For Parker ~ July 28 remains to donate and be entered for prizes! Help us show lots of Love For Parker and have a chance to win one of many unbelievably fantastic prizes?  Donate via the "make a donation" button at the top of this post and leave a comment [after clicking that link you must scroll to the end of comments to leave yours] to be entered for prizes listed below.

 Get the code to post the Love For Parker button on your blog.

 This love offering is about much more than money to assist a family with extraordinary medical expenses of a child.  Truly, it is love being given.  The love each of you brings individually bonds collectively, illuminating a glow across the world and reaching into the hearts of many, thereby blessing Parker.

As a Christian, I have prayed for God's blessing upon Love For Parker...that above all He will be glorified.  That fact doesn't mean anyone is asking you to adopt my religion or any religion.  It does mean I have faith in God and in the willingness of you as kind people to join together this week in Love For Parker.

From the bottom of Parker's little heart...thank you.

Melody

Those of you who landed here yet somehow missed the blogosphere buzz about Love For Parker may not know him...let me introduce Parker.  TopBlogMag has graciously published my interview with Parker's mommy, Tammy, and reading it is the best way to get to know him.  Parker is an adorable, but medically fragile child who requires an extraordinary amount of care.  His care is extremely expensive, and his parents' insurance company leaves a huge portion of the financial burden on the family. His parents have been unable to qualify Parker for other forms of assistance.

Then please remember to COME BACK HERE and Donate via the "make a donation" button at the top of this post and leave a comment [after clicking that link you must scroll to the end of comments to leave yours] to be entered for prizes. You will have a chance to win the Hewlett Packard digital camera, printer and accessories package valued over $400 or one of  many other prizes listed below.

You will not be charged a fee to make your donation.  You will be charged only the amount of your donation.  The requested minimum donation is $2, but certainly more will be accepted with appreciative hearts.

Would you like to be entered twice in the drawing for the prizes below?  Easy as pie.  [1] Make your donation via the donation button at the top of this post and leave a comment. [2] Visit Reading for Parker and make a purchase from Julie's Usborne book store.  During Love For Parker Julie is donating ALL commissions to Love For Parker.  If you do both of these things...both...you will be entered twice in the drawing for prizes.

I just left a donation and comment, but it didn't "stick". I am wondering how to donate to the prizes that are being given away? I didn't see anywhere on the post about how to add to that. Thank you for doing this and Parker and his family are in our prayers!

I donated!! You are doing such a great, great thing. I can't wait to see what the grand total will be and the family is in my prayers.

I think my comment was just lost - I'm sorry if I appear twice! I donated and I'm praying for this family!

I've just made a donation and would love to make a contribution to the prize pot! I'll keep looking through the page to figure out how to do that.

I'm thinking of the little guy and his family. You are doing a great thing but getting their story out there!

I've added his button to my ebay about me page....

Here's to a successful campaign!

My donation has been made. I'm Joey's (from Raising Joey) grandmother. I wanted to say that my prayers are with Parker and his family.

I made my donation. I wish I could give more. I truly would if I had more (we've had $16,000 out of pocket medical expenses ourselves this year....I don't even want to seem to compare our situation to Parker's...just wanted to explain why I couldn't give more).

I will be putting the code on my blog as soon as I get into my template again.

God bless that precious, precious child, and thank YOU for doing such an amazing thing with this fundraiser!
