I'm asking a favour

So, what good is a blog if you don't use it for shameless plugs for people you care about, and compelling your readers to do their bit?

There is a woman who to me, is amazing. Actually there are a good few that fit this bill, but I'm going to talk about just one this time.

She has 4 gorgeous boys, 3 of which have special needs. One has severe autism, possibly the worst case I have heard of. He requires care beyond anything I could imagine. This is directly from her page - 

Yet Tracey, with her hubby by her side, still manages to run a successful online business with everything she sells being handmade by her; runs a household and all that requires; is involved in her kids soccer; and is on a path towards a healthier lifestyle fitting in gym and training; not to mention all the care for her boys, herself, and any other activities my stalking hasn't come across. Oh and I can't forget her awesome random acts of kindness she throws in for good measure. A few years back now, we needed to go to a wedding, I desperately wanted to get a Sugar an Spice dress made, but money just didn't allow. Even so, that cheeky woman sent me a dress for Miss G out of the goodness of her heart! We barely knew each other at that stage, I was just another customer. I still have that dress, and the others I've purchased, they are being handed down from Miss G to Miss O and still look as good as they did the day they were made. She always has a positive thing to say, I know she reads my facebook rambles of shit, not always commenting, but when she does it makes me smile because someone that I know to be nonstop, took a minute of their time for me. 

Yup I stalk this woman, she doesn't know it though (until now that is). When I'm feeling like total shit and I'm cursing the universe with every fuck word, and variant of, that I can think of, I take a deep breath, centre myself and I think of people like Tracey. It's a pretty fucking quick wake up call. Not just a reminder that others have it harder, but that even the most difficult, unfair and shithouse situations can be over come with persistence, will and sheer determination. 

There are people everywhere, families, like Tracy's that endure everything that life throws at them, time and time over, with little or no complaint and rarely asks for help. So, when help is asked for, it is honestly staggering the number of people that put up their hands. So many donations, so much love. 

I now ask, nay I demand, you get your ass over to Sugar an Spice on facebook and take part in the auction to raise funds for Stem Cell treatment for Christian. It is only available in China and there is no cover through any insurance, health cover, or government funding, meaning the whole cost, tens of thousands, is needed. 

If there is any little man that deserves a chance at a better life and to be all they are, and any family that deserves the chance to learn more of who that amazing boy is, it is Christian and his family.
