If you read my previous blog then you know that I am trying to help out a family in Oklahoma. It's getting down to just a few days to keep them from becoming homeless.
Please read the blog before this to catch up to what is happening - be sure to read the updates on the link. In that blog I offered to "sell myself". Well, not actually sell myself but I gave you the opportunity to tell me what to do. Within reason, of course. :) There is a list that you can chose from.
Again... read the previous blog. :-D
Just like in those infomercials we all love ;) I now get to say... but wait!! There's more!
Every person that donates $5 or more to the below link
https://fundanything.com/en/campaigns/tornado-victims-fighting-homelessness
Will receive a chance to win their choice of one of these beautiful pieces of art.
I apologize, the pictures I took with my phone and they didn't turn out very well.
Each artwork is beautiful. All by the same artist in honor of her sister who was a recipient of both a heart and lung transplant that allowed her to live a longer life with her loved ones.
If you are the winner then you can chose which one of these framed pieces of art you would like to own. I'll ship it to you wherever you are.
The winner of the framed artwork will be drawn on April 20th via Rafflecopter.
To enter just go to the link above, donate what you are able, then come back here and click on an entry for every $5 donated.
All entries will be verified. If you wish to make an anonymous donation please send me a message at teelee.otter@gmail.com and tell me the amount you donated. I'll still get you entered and keep you anonymous to others.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all. Good luck!!

Oh! And the previous agreement still stands. When you donate you not
only have a chance to win a beautiful piece of art and feel good about
it, but you STILL get to tell me what to do!

Just Do It - or hey, make ME do it!
Have you ever wanted to do something to help someone out?
Have you ever wanted to make a couch potato move?
How about... have you ever
wanted to have power over me? Be the boss of me?
Guess what?? You can do all of that!!!
How you ask? Let me share.
I know of a family in Oklahoma who lost their home in the
tornado. The tornado that hit Moore, OK last year. They are still trying to
settle with the insurance company. They are this l--l close to being homeless.
Please read the story in the link and while reading there
click on the link inside to see the news interview.
I can't stop
thinking of them and admiring how much grace Angela has been showing during this time. While so many would constantly bemoan their fate I have seen posts where she expresses her gratitude for any little bit that comes their way. She sees blessings where many of us would see defeat.
I can't do all that I wish I could do. I gave a little but it's just really been on my mind so much and I want to do more.
My donation is just a drop in a bucket compared to what they need. However, many drops will eventually fill that bucket up.
So then it hit me.
I'm struggling with being a natural born
couch potato. I have even joined a gym and have only gone for the assessment. I
started walking then fizzled out on that most of the time.
If I have to do
something to help someone out though? Well, no problem! I’m willing to do just
about anything that I am capable of doing.
That’s where YOU come in to the picture. Wanna make me
sweat? Wanna make me do things that I don't really wanna do? Buy me!
You can choose my workout.
Here are the prices:
Squat - 50 cents
Push-ups - 50 cents
Sit ups - 25 cents
Walk 1 mile - $2.00
1/2 hour gym time - $3.00
1 hour being John's personal slave (with a smile) - $20
(guess who's idea that one was) and good luck getting someone to pay for that
one dear. lol
I will complete all workouts by the end of April and will
show evidence in any way possible. If it's a walk then Map My Walk now has live tracking. :) Gym time I will actually have someone at the gym time me, the others I will have someone confirm. The slave for John? Ha... that probably won't happen so no worries.
All you have to do is click the link, read the story and
then make a donation. On the comments part of the donations make a list of what
you want me to do - or come back here and tell me. Example: You donate $5. You
could have me walk 1 mile, do 3 push-ups, and 3 squats. Or walk 2.5 miles. Or any
combination of the above.
My heart hurts so much that someone can be so close to being homeless through no fault of their own. Can't we all show our compassion and help out? Please, please (yes I am begging) help out a little. Right now there is only $75 raised out of the $800. I DO believe in people. I DO believe that there will be some of you that will help out of the goodness in your heart. I DO believe in YOU. xoxo
So come on... make my body hurt but my heart and soul happy. <3
