I have not had any movement on my campaign yet. This is understandable but also disheartening.
I am currently looking for other ways to raise money quickly. The only thing I've been able to come up with is a bake sale. I am going to see if I can work out a car wash as well. I am open to any suggestions, please let me know!

Promote, promote, promote
So I have created a facebook page specifically for the cause. I also put a link up on my myspace. I also joined twitter, something I never thought I'd do. I am starting to get some feedback and interest, which is awesome. I am hoping to get many, many followers and much help and advice.
I just want to thank anyone in advance for any donations and/or advice. Please let me know if there's anyway I can help you out in return.

My Cause
I'm new at this and have never blogged before, so bear with me. Basically, I am trying to do everything possible to help my brother and his wife out. Hence, the blogging.
Their story: My brother is a contractor who has had very little work in the past couple years due to the economy. He is a very hard worker and creates the most beautiful, professional products.
He has 4 children, ranging from 8 months old to 9 years old. They have no health or life insurance.
He bought a house with my mother about 2 years ago. Shortly after this my mother passed away, leaving him with a house he couldn't afford. This was a very unexpected death and devastating to the whole family. My brother tried to keep up with the house payments but couldn't. The house was forclosed on a little less than a year ago.
Recently he has been renting a house and doing everything he can to pay the rent and keep food on the table, but was unable to keep up with the payments on the truck he uses for his job. It was reposessed about a week ago, leaving him with no real tranportation for his work, except his wife.
His wife is currently looking for a job, but this will also be expensive because she will have to pay to have two kids in daycare. She is currently struggling to afford diapers and food for the family.
They are great people who have fallen in hard times. I have therefore started a cause to raise money to help them. Please click on the chip in link to help out, even if just with 25 cents. EVERYTHING helps. Thank you for reading this and thank you for helping out with my cause.
