My arms are empty and acheing...

I can’t believe I’m a mother without…

Life has been twisted and turned upside down. As a mother, I had both the wonderful privilege of holding my sweet son as I brought him into this world…and the horrible chore of holding him as he took his last breaths and left this world, at only 7 years old. June 24, 2010 he earned his angel wings, passing away after an inspiring but brief fight against Cystic Fibrosis. Now I live, solely focusing on living a life to get to be with him again in heaven, and to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis research. I am dedicated to a cure, not only for my sweet sons legacy but so that other CF families never experience the greatest loss of their lives that we are now facing. My mother’s arms are missing Connerman, yet he still inspires me daily to leave a mark of LOVE on this world…so for you my sweet prince, mommy will try!

You’ve been so generous…

I have to reach out to you today. There is a fabulous organization based out of my hometown, Olympia Washington, and better yet founded by a wonderful woman who shares my first name, Sarah Morris.

It is called Breathe 4 Tomorrow Foundation. It is an organization that recognizes the importance and desperate need for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis but strives to help the CF Families with unforseen expenses that come about due to this horrific costly disease. Sarah herself has Cystic Fibrosis.

Breathe for Tomorrow Foundation has helped out many families since receiving their non profit status. In the last 5 months along Sarah has helped out many CF families to the tune of over $25,000. That is truly amazing. She has helped pay peoples monthly mortgage, for medicines, for astronomical hospital copays or bills and has made a huge impact in the lives of so many in the CF community.

She has impacted my life as well, greatly.

In the midst of losing our son last month, Sarah generously reached out and paid our mortgage payment for July fully knowing that it is a gift we could never repay (nor is it expected or even asked for).

So I need to do my Conner Love deed for today and pay it forward to her.

Sarah is fantastic. She is passionate. She is driven. She is inspired. She is compassionate. and she needs our help.

 

Breathe 4 Tomorrow Foundation solely exists upon donations. This is one of the charities that we put to donate to in Conners honor in his obituary. I simply can’t sit back and watch other families go thru extreme financial hardship because of the disease that robbed me of my son without any help or support from Sarah Morris.

If i know you the way i think i do…because you have been so generous to me…

I pray that you will join me in making a donation in honor of Conner Reed or even your loved one today!

She needs our help.

Lets pay it forward and pass it along to others in our contacts as well.

because we all know a cure is important, but if you can help families while they’re waiting for it, that is money well spent.

blessings!

  1. I could not do much, but I gave what I could. My husband has been out of work for 5 months and just went back to work this morning. But I had to donate to such a worthy cause.

Did You Know....

There are over 100,000 people, the size of a small city, on the transplant list in the US.

There were less than 10,000 deceased organ donors in the US last year. (that's a ratio of 1 organ donor to every 10 transplant patients).

In the time it takes you to shower today, 1 new name is added to the US transplant waiting list.

From the time you woke up this morning to the time you wake up tomorrow morning, 18 people will die waiting for their transplant in the US.
