Lets Gather And Rally Round And Show That MyLot is TRULY A Community

Tweet

Many of us were shocked to learn about a beloved, very young member of MyLot who is no longer with us by the name of bellaofchaos. She had sought medical help and wasn't given it properly and was misdiagnosed. When her health condition became worse she was operated on but died during surgery. bella was only 30 years old and she leaves five children behind her. Another member here, the one who first informed the MyLot world of bella's passing also did a discussion to in effect raise money for the children left behind and unfortunately that discussion was deleted and unfortunately I can see why since a link was given, while NOT a referral link did go to a website to raise money for bella's children. So of course, partypooper mean-spirited shats deemed it necessary to report this...and heaven forbid THEY ever need financial help. Anyway---I got a brainstorm..yes, it does happen from time to time. But I thought of a different way to get this poignant story noted.....the media...yes, the media. Bellaofchaos was from Pittsburgh, Pa...so I'm thinking here, write letters to every major PA newspaper going no matter WHERE you're from...here is a general listing of PA newspapers http://newslink.org/panews.html (AND NO THIS IS NOT A REFERRAL LINK --but to a listing of PA newspapers) Write a story/email from your heart and about the situation, and most important also include the link that sparks has to her site...PM her if she's on your list of friends or PM me...or if you have our private emails and we will give you the info...on the site sparks had set up--there is also a widget that one can copy and place on other sites or blogs Now you might wonder--why write the media??--- Why? This is a major poignant, human interest story that especially during these hard economic times people will want to hear and would be willing to help out---heck you don't even have to be in the PA area of the US--write an email to YOUR newspaper wherever you are in the US---if a lot of papers are inundated with this story...SOMEONE is bound to pick it up. I plan to start tomorrow (or should I say later today...it's 4:36 a.m. as I write this) Do you consider yourself a part of the MyLot community? Does it grieve you to hear a fellow MyLotter in pain, distress or their families...then do your part and get busy!! Show you really care!!
