Hi, guys. Hi. I don’t normally like to do this, because I feel like we’re inundated with appeals to donate to various organizations from every angle. But you’ve got to pimp the causes that are important to you, right?

Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis

One of my best ladies, and a wedding brigadier to boot, has a sister with Crohn’s disease. She and her fiance dedicated themselves to raising money for and participating in the Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis Walk this Sunday, May 22. As of this writing, they are $210 behind goal.

If you’re feeling generous today, will you consider chipping in a little change? Donations can be made here:

Fight against Crohn’s disease!

Dishing for Dana

And if you have any extra money to spare, please consider donating to the Broke-Ass-Bride’s Dishing For Dana fundraiser. I know a lot of us circulate around each other’s blogs, and many of you already know about this massive effort to help Dana with her medical bills. Those who don’t can learn more here.

To be quite honest with you, I’m fairly broke. We are broke. The beau and I have been doing a lot of paycheck-to-paycheck living, and my paycheck only arrives once per month. I put off talking about Dana’s cause here until I was able to make a donation, which I did today when that glorious and long-awaited check arrived.

Even though I’m late to the party, it still helps. Everything does. You can contribute here.

And even if your pockets are empty right now, thanks for simply reading. The thing that most rocks about writing this blog, I think, is being a part of a community of people who care. Period.
