Hand-In-Paw
A VERY worthy organization. The two months Hadley went through
radiation we thought it was going to be grueling!
Instead, everyday she woke up excited to go to radiation because she was ready
to see the dogs.
Hand-In-Paw teams gave of their time to bring comfort to Hadley and other kids
by giving them something to look forward to.
In the process, teams fall in love with these children and a special bond is
formed. We still keep in touch with some teams.
At UAB, the dogs were allowed to go back to the radiation table until Hadley
fell asleep and they were waiting when she got out.
This is a great program to give to! Click

LifeSouth Blood Centers
Hadley underwent 3 years of radiation. During that time her
immune system got taken for a ride.
She usually felt the worst when her platelets got low or her red cell count was
low.
It was wonderful that there was blood and platelets available to get so she
could recover faster. This was key in making it through treatments.
It may appear that hospitals are okay but the truth is there is shortages ALL
the time.
Donating blood doesn't take much time at all and can be done every 28 days.
Platelets, on the other hand, take anywhere from 1-3 hours to donate. You get to
sit in a comfortable recliner and watch movies though.
I know we are all crunched for time but we don't need to wait for it to "happen
to my family". Start donating now.
Alot of people can't donate money so how about some time. Schedule an
appointment with your local center today. Click
