I found out today that a digitizer whom I have gotten some great designs from is in serious trouble and needs help. Libi is a single Mom of a severely handicapped son in a wheelchair. Libi has been sick for awhile and has no insurance; her embroidery business is their sole income. She is so sick she can't digitize right now and is afraid someone will remove her son from her if she can't care for him. Several digitizers got together and formed a fundraising site so she can see a doctor. Her son is her world and it will devastate her if she loses him. Please check out the donation site. If you are a digitizer and have a design to donate, it would mean so much to her and her son. If you want to check out the designs that have been donated so far or just make a donation, that will help too. The site address is http://fundraiserforlibi.weebly.c...

I hope I am not overstepping the rules of the forum in posting this , I apologize if I am. She just doesn't want to lose her son and needs to see a doctor to get her health back. All I ask is to look and if you can't contribute please say a prayer for them. I know God listens when we pray for someone in need.
Thank you,
Meri

Hi Meri,

I've just bought the FSL Angels - thanks for the information re Libi. I do hope with all the prayers and people on this site helping out and with friends like you something will come of it.

I will certainly keep Libi and her family in my daily devotions.

Love and blessings Chris

Meri, God will Bless you for your work in helping Libi. I think it is a brilliant idea that we use her angels for our other angel project. Libi and her son will be in my prayers also.

I think the idea of Meganne to buy a design on the site of Libi is a great idea, and also prayers from all of us

Meri-I am disabled and trying to stay out of the hospital for longer than a week now with my Lupus and cannot contribute, as my medical bills are rising unbelievably, but I will gladly keep her and her son and my prayers. I know with the great support that the Cuties offer, there are many, many prayers in their behalf. What a fortunate person she is to have a friend as you to champion for them! She is truly blessed.....God Bless... Charlotte :-)

Charlotte, I know how hard it is to stretch a dollar--when you have one! I know she'd be in tears of gratitude to all of you for your prayers. I'm a member of her yahoo group and I've seen her posting through the years about her son and her difficulties- I admire her for her devotion to her son Mike. She works very hard to take care of him- he is everything to her. Your prayers are so important! I never underestimate its' power to heal so hon, you ARE contributing! Probably more than you will ever know! Thank you!!!

Meri, I received this from one of the yahoo groups and think that it is such a special tribute to Libi - that others care for her so much - that they are willing to promote her website to help her while she is going through such a struggle. I will be praying for her and her son. Thanks for being so kind in thinking of her.

When I heard the news of her situation, it brought tears to my eyes because I know what a loving Mom and person she is. I have 4 sons and the thought of losing any of them is unbearable.
It is you and all the other wonderful Cuties who need to be thanked, I am just a messenger and a Mom.
Thank YOU all so much!

Your prayers are priceless! They are needed maybe more than cash. Thank you for thinking of this family. God bless you!

OK , now here's a suggestion.....

Why don't we all buy an FSL angel Design from Libi's site and stitch it out to send to Stitchingkate's little spinabifida girl?


Doing this would mean we would be helping both of them.

>Hugs n love, Meganne

Great suggestion Meg.

eyeztodiefor10 by eyeztodiefor10 21 Aug 2010

Meg, what a thoughtful person you are! The irony here is about a month ago, Libi donated a FSL angel to help a father of 3. He had been burned over 60% of his body and she donated one of her most beautiful angels to help raise cash for his family.
My Mom always used to say the Lord works in mysterious ways.
What an awesome suggestion! You are so right that it would help both families in need.
God bless you for such keen insight!( And such a big heart)
