Giving Back
The Arielle Anacker Cancer Foundation

This year I became a part of the Arielle Anacker Children’s Cancer Foundation (http://arielleanackercancerfoundation.org)
founded by my friend Diane Trivelli.  Please visit their site and read all about Arielle and her journey.

Thank you in advance!

This part is for those of you who know and trust me, my family and long time friends:

Through this foundation I have come to know about a family whom the foundation will be helping.  The oldest child of a six-
children, single parent family was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 17.  I am writing to you because through a series of
misfortunes this family is now living out of a hotel week to week after having been evicted from their home.  

This year I have decided to adopt this family.  What does this mean?  Well, I will be getting a list from the kids of what presents
they would like and through donations from families and friends I would like to raise money to fulfill at least some of these.  I
would like to plan a small gathering where we can celebrate Christmas with them (not on actual Christmas day) and give them
their gifts. It is because of this that I am asking for your help.  Anything you are willing to give to these kids would help!  

Opportunities to help are as follows:
  • Send a check to me with "Holiday family adoption" written in the bottom left.
  • Buy one of the gifts from the list (as soon as I have I will post it)
  • Help with the small celebration I want to organize to give them the gifts

Thanks to all of you in advance!
