EDITED: Want an update on our total so far? Click here.
I can’t even tell y’all how excited I am about today - and how much I want for us to just bless the socks off of Kelli and her family (if you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, click here).
So, click on the “make a donation” button at the bottom of this post to make a contribution. My only request is that $1.50 be the minimum - but you may certainly donate any amount you wish. You do not need a PayPal account in order to give; Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are also accepted. The PayPal account where you’ll be donating is already linked to Kelli’s bank account so that she’ll be able to access what she needs as she needs it.
Email me if you have any questions or problems…I’ll be posting some updates on our progress throughout the day.
Also, remember that Susie at Bluebird Blogs will be donating 20% of all blog design orders between now and January 21st to the For Kelli fund. Be sure to stop by Susie’s place if you want a fresh, fun look for your corner of Blogland.
If it’s not a good time for you to donate money - or if you simply don’t feel led to give - I know that Kelli and her family would be forever thankful for your prayers.
One more thing: if you have donated, prayed or linked to this effort, please leave a comment that says, simply, “I’m in!” When Kelli gets online later today, I think it would be awesome if she could see a visible representation of all the people who have given their money, their prayers, or their blog space for her cause. I hope it’ll be a tremendous encouragement to her and her family.
Many thanks in advance, everybody.
Your transaction will be secure.
A family will be blessed.
And, above all else, God will be glorified.

BooMama, thank you for doing this for Kelli. I only have one functioning kidney due to a childhood accident, so there’s something about Kelli’s situation that seems to touch especially close to home. I will be praying for her recovery, and for the Lord’s provision for all her financial needs.

I must have checked the total 15 times already. Can’t you be like QVC and give a running tally on the webpage. (Just kidding, but wouldn’t that be cool!)
This was a terrific idea and will really bless Kelli and her family.

Everybody Has a Story « It be’s that way sometimes. says:
[...] So Pete didn’t think he had a story at all–but to his neighbors and his family and then to me via Steve Hartman on CBS–he has a great story. Over at Boomama’s today, we are helping someone who has a story–in fact–each of us who donates either money or prayers, well, we have stories of our own. We are important to someone. We are living a life of possibility even when there are disappointments either in family or in our circumstances or in ourselves. [...]

Mormon Mommy Wars » Kelli Needs a Transplant says:
[...] Boomama is hosting a donation event for a woman who is in need of a kidney transplant. (What would you call that? Not a telethon–a blogathon, or something?) I don’t know either woman, but the need for a kidney transplant certainly hits close to home. So far they have raised $4500, and are asking for $1.50 donations. C’mon, everybody can spare a buck fifty, or even five bucks, to help a mom with 2 kids who is about to lose her health insurance and is facing getting kicked off the donor list because of financial reasons. And if she gets kicked off that donor list, she dies. Period. Please consider donating to this worthiest of causes. Ok, I might be a little biased, but she sure could use some help. [...]

I have prayed for Kelli, but I hadn’t even mentioned the contributions to my husband because I just didn’t figure he would at all go for sending contributions to someone we didn’t know over the Internet. But he read the links from my blog back here and at Kelli’s site and made a contribution for us. So I am happy to be able to say I am in from that standpoint as well.
