> A number of you may remember my post a while back about my friend
> Robin Whittmore...a fellow Jewelry Artist in need of a bone marrow

> For the whole story see:

> be sure to

>
> Robin has received some devastating news - her blast count has risen
> to a dangerous level and she has been hospitalized.
> You may recall that we had held several auctions, and tried other
> means of raising money for her transplant because Medicare didn't
> feel that her situtaion was dire enough to cover it. Well it is
> now!!!!
>
> So the majority of the costs of the procedure and chemo is now
> covered (they will still end up paying approx. $23,000 out of pocket)
> however she still needs a donor! Please go to

> As you can imagine this has depleted the family's income and any

> and the costs of housing the family in TX adjacent to the hospital.
> Those of you who have been hospitalized know just how important

>
> So this is how YOU can help....
>
> 1. Do you have any frequent flyer miles that you would be willing to
> donate?
> 2. Do you know anyone in the area of MD Anderson Cancer Clininc that
> may have housing that they would be willing to donate or rent at a
> reduced fee?
> 3. Would you help pay the hotel fees?
> 4. ...and of course cash donations are always helpful!

> As I was writing this I just received this update from her son,

> Please pray that it drops quickly. Thank you for your continued

>
> BTW - cards help alot (no flowers please her immune system is too
> damaged from the chemo!
>
> Send cards to -

> Robin Whittmore
> c/o Greenville Memorial Hospital
> 701 Grove Road
> Greenville, SC 29605
>
> Her room # is 5418.

> Fritz is reading her cards to her when she doesn't feel like reading

> This isn't one of those frustrating situations where you can't afford

> Universe and send your sentiments...PRICELESS!
>
> So please PLEASE - send her energy, send her prayers, send her cards.
> YOU can help her deal with each day!
