Shelter Challenge - Humane Society of Midland County

[kuhio98]

Still holding at #5 for the State of Michigan this morning.
But, I did notice that the shelter moved up nation-wide from 131 to 111 over night. Jumped 20 spots!

Still cross-posting trying to get them to #4 (and eventually #1).

Done. Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. Your friend is in my thoughts, what a scary thing to go through. I hope her dreams come true!

Done! Thanks for the reminder.

They are still holding at #5 for Michigan. But, they've moved up from 150+ in the United States to 106 this morning. So, they are still getting votes.

Thank you for getting the word out! She has developed a very itchy rash from the chemo. Today she gets a blood transfusion.

Keep those prayers (and votes) coming!

voted again.

Thanks everyone.

I have both Explorer and Firefox on my computer. I discovered that I can vote once in each browser without any problems.

Thanks for bumping it up.

They are still in 5th place. Hard to compete with large Michigan cities like Detroit. But, let's keep trying. Please help me get the word out.

My friend is going in for another blood transfusion. Her brother undergoes prostate cancer surgery today. Sigh..... They have a lot to handle right now. Please keep them in your prayers.

Here's a link to a writeup on my friend before she got sick and had to stop volunteering at her shelter.

[SIZE="3"]Here's a link to a writeup on my friend before she got sick and had to stop volunteering at her shelter.

Just an aside here.........on the site there is mention of her working at Dow Chemicals. Is there any link there with her having leukemia ???
I just thought I'd ask, as Dow does pop up every now and again in our veterans newsletters with a link to leukemia.

They are still #5. But, closing in on #4 which is Detroit. Pretty amazing since Detroit is such a huge city in comparison to Midland.

Please continue to vote once a day. Post on Facebook, etc. Tell all your friends!

Vote once a day until December 18th, 2011

A dear friend of mine -- and a long-time volunteer at the Humane Society of Midland County (Michigan) has recently been diagnosed with acute myologeneous leukemia (AML). She was given approximately 6 weeks to live.

She's fighting with all she has and is starting her second round of chemo next week.

Her doctor told her to get rid of her cats. She refused saying that they were responsible for her health and happiness. But, she was forced to give up her volunteer duties at the shelter.

It's too late for us to go to medical school and discover the cure for cancer. But, we can help one of her dreams come true.

The Animal Rescue Site is holding a Shelter Challenge: http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/c...faces?siteId=3

They will give a $5000 grant to the shelter who gets the most overall votes.
They will give a $1000 grant to the top shelter of each State.

Please take the time to vote each day for Humane Society of Midland County in Midland, MI (screen shot below).

Please cross-post as you feel appropriate. My dear friend is determined to continue her fight to be with us when the results are announced in December.

Thank you!

Gonna take a miracle to get them into 3rd!
