The "Wheels" are going round and round!

Good evening!

Apparently the laws in Florida, which are designed to protect both the party in need and the party donating, do not allow funds to be used for the purchase of a vehicle. So, a very clever woman named Michelle, whom I "met" on myspace, is putting some very exciting things in motion in an effort to find a way to help the Schwade family obtain a new/used vehicle. A different vehicle is needed to help them transition to a more normal life when Kaleb comes home and can use his new specialized stroller.

As most of you know, I can absolutely relate to this as my mom has Multiple Sclerosis and is wheelchair bound. She utilizes an electric wheelchair and although they are becoming much slimmer and compact in design these days, they are still rather bulky and heavy and you either need a lift on the back of your vehicle or an adapted vehicle in order to transport one (or it's rider/owner). We have neither and rely on special programs and it can often be quite the challenge so I have great passion for doing anything I can to help the Schwade family get the things they will need to adapt to their new life with their beautiful baby!

Please continue to pray for Baby Kaleb and the Schwade's and if you feel moved and compelled to donate, you most certainly may do so to the post office box listed in my previous blog or you can visit Kristy Schwade's myspace page. If you prefer to wait until the wheels are more in motion and I can provide more details, that is fabulous too.

Please do post comments on my blog. I do read them and am genuinely interested in what everyone thinks.

If you can help with spreading Kaleb's story, please feel free to share my blog.

If you would like to help with any brainstorming and/or fundraising efforts, please, please, please contact me.

One woman raised over $50,000 for Kaleb! Wouldn't it be amazing if we could send Kaleb and his family a gift of even $50?

I am going to create a new website, similar to cafemom, but only a fraction of the size. I am thinking of Cali Mom's Care or other if this spreads outside Cali? Suggestions? Interested? I would like to create a little board for local mom's who are interested in making a difference. Mommy groups and boards rock and I love mine, but I am moved to do something more... care to join me?

Much love and many blessings!
