UPDATE:

We have reached the end of our collection for the Mayhew family. We raised a total of $100 $166 $223.50 $321.50 $370 $434 for the Mayhew Family!  Thank you to all the mom businesses who helped with this cause.  I will be writing a check to Peter Mayhew this week.

Continue to keep the Mayhews in your prayers because the power of prayer works!

Read my original message below…

***

As many of you know, fellow mom and blogger, Anissa Mayhew suffered a stroke this past Tuesday and still in the ICU.  We are all hurting right now thinking about our vivacious Anissa sick in a hospital bed.  We also know the costs that accrue during a family crisis.  Meals, activities for the kids,  hospitalization  & rehabilitation fees-it adds up quickly.

Mom Made That! is here to help by providing 50% of all listing fees from today until the end of the year directly to the Mayhew family.  Listing fees include all subscriptions and new sign-ups between now and the end of the year.  I will keep a tally each week of the Mayhew Family donations to keep you in the loop.

If you have a mom business or blog and want to purchase a listing, with 50% of the proceeds going to the Mayhews, please LIST HERE.  In addition, please pass the word on to fellow business owners and bloggers.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Anissa and her family.  Follow Anissa’s progress at www.hope4peyton.org and follow the support and love on Twitter at #prayersforanissa.  Anissa also has a Caring Bridge site set up at www.caringbridge.org/visit/anissamayhew.

Please pray for the Mayhews, and thank you for your participation.

All this week a group of bloggers, including Buried with Children, Mayhem & Moxie, 7 Clown Circus, Scary Mommy, Adventures in Babywearing, The Extraordinary Ordinary, & Mama’s Losin’ It, will be working together to promote an event entitled, Blog • Bid • Hope.  By hosting a three day auction, their goal is to raise money on behalf of the Liz Logelin Foundation, as well as Anissa Mayhew, a 35 year old blogger who recently suffered a stroke. The auction will offer a variety of items, including blog designs, accessories, electronics, baby gear and art.  Do some good over the holiday season and donate to the members of the on-line community who need our support.  Because different items will be available for bidding on all seven sites, you are sure to please anyone on your holiday list!

If you are looking for more info, you can find it in the preview post here: http://mayhemandmoxie.com/blog-bid-hope/

Also, starting on Wednesday, we are going to be very active on Twitter promoting the auction.  The hashtag is #blogbidhope.  If you see anything worth retweeting, please do so.  I’ve included the Twitter IDs for the sites hosting the auction below.
