Simply Live - Mother's Day Challenge

I have a Mother's Day challenge for all of my wonderful readers!  But first I have to share this amazing story with you....

Today I was introduced to the Wiederholt family's blog here.  The Wiederholt's have 4 boys at home and are adopting two children from Uganda.  The children are both infected with HIV.  One of them is not responding to the HIV treatment available in Uganda and needs medical help immediately!  But the Wiederholt's can't bring these kiddos home until they raise $25,000.  Let me remind everyone that HIV is not at all what it was in the 80's.  Doctors know tons about HIV now and people with HIV are able to live normal lives with the right treatment.  These children have hearts, minds, and souls that just need love - and the right medical care.  These parents are in fear of what may happen with this child if they don't bring him home soon.  The only thing standing in their way is a big chunk of cash....

So here's the Mother's Day challege:

Live simply so others can simply live.  That's powerful huh?  Especially when children are dying because they don't have the right medical treatment.  This week I ask that you give up something in honor of your mother and make a donation to the Wiederholt family.  Donations can be made via the paypal button on their page here.  Let's give Momma Wiederholt the best Mother's Day gift ever!  And after you make your donation, comment below with what you love most about your mother.  People, I expect to see lots of comments here!!!!  LIVE SIMPLY - give up the fast food, the shopping spree, etc, then donate the money you would have spent so that the Wiederholt's son can SIMPLY LIVE.

Mom, I love your compassionate heart, and I especially love that you gave a piece of that to me!
