Help! A book for parents of sick kids
10/7/2009 at 10:26 AM
Since my daughter almost lost her life last year I have been trying to find ways help other parents in need. It is an extremely stressful time for families when their child is sick. The only thing my husband and I found that helped to get us through was prayer and talking to other parents in hard situations. The Ronald McDonald House was a great place for us to bond with other familes and to keep us in check that there are far more worse situations out there.
For the past year I have been thinking of ways that I could raise money for RM House and Childrens hospital while helping other people. It has been in the past 3 months that it has been pressed on myheart to write a book. This is where I need your help.
If you or someone you know has a child that has been ill or diagnosed with defects/deseases I want your story. The plan is to Personally publish this book and distribute it to both the hospital and the RM House so that other families can read it and find hope. If the book ever sells I am hoping to divide half the profits and donate them to these two charities!
Along with the book there will be a website with links to information about the different illnesses written about in the book and a chat area where parents can talk to other parents in the same situation.
I am looking for some feedback on this idea, as well as your stories.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. I have had quite a few stories submitted already but need more. If you are on Facebook please join the group "Gods Little Miracles" and pass the link on to your friends.
