STUFF ABOUT ME:
ed norton did a nat geo (strange days on planet earth) about the plastic on our beaches and in our waters. i was so shocked at our flagrant disposal of this material--THAT NEVER BIODEGRADES! i want my children to see that when people work together--big things can happen. i am planning a coastal cleanup. the date is a bit up in the air. i want to make sure our efforts are helpful for the plastic issue but most importantly preventing more marinelife deaths and destruction of waters, marshes, etc. and helping with containing the catastrophe. i will post the date as soon as i know it. please join my team and lets kick some oil and plastic butt. the cause nearest and dearest to my heart though is suicide awareness and prevention. i lost my husband, David, to suicide on October 28, 2009. my wish is to make suicide a topic that doesnt provoke shame, guilt or fear. by providing education, understanding and resources to people contemplating suicide and providing resources for survivors---MAYBE we can prevent one more person from taking their life and leaving family and friends with a hole in their hearts as big as the world. it is my mission to remove the stigma associated with suicide. PLEASE help me. most suicides, according to suicide.org, are the result of an untreated mental illness......we can make a difference. if you or someone you know is thinking of hurting themselves--dont!!! we can, by leaning on each other, overcome the stresses leading to the thought of ending your life. you are not alone. i care about you, friend. everyone here on this site cares.....very much. please dont make a decision in crisis that cant be undone. it will get better. i promise.
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
vote for me if you think the project is needed. vote for me if you want our coasts and waters preserved for our children and theirs. vote for one more person choosing to muster the courage to try and carry on. we are all trying so hard to preserve our earth---lets put some of our energy to its people, too. thank you for your interest--if you dont join me, please join another team.

Happy February, Crowdrise friend! Thank you for your support, through your donations, votes, advocacy and friendliness. You probably know all about the amazing promos that CR runs. Right now, I think the most awesome is the chance to win an iPad 2. Every time you donate $26, you are entered to win.
Your $26 donation to a Reader to Reader project would help us send 2 boxes full of books to an under-resourced library here in the states, or support special education in the DR, or get a women's school built in Nigeria, or get books to families in transition... there are plenty of choices and who knows, you might get lucky!
Happy reading,
Kat
