Title: O.U.C.H. Fundraiser
Post by jenrob2006 on Jul 10^th, 2006, 9:00am

A little background:
I am pretty new to this site, but def not new to CH. I have been suffering for over 14 years. I recently got married in April and I have a 9 year old from a previous marriage. We moved to SC so we could have a better life and I could possibly stay home or work part time because we want to have another baby. As soon as I stepped foot in SC, my cycle started. I have been dying trying to pay for these meds because my husband's insurance has not kicked in yet. I have not been able to find a job yet either. I decided to sell Tupperware. Then, I was thinking one horrible night that there has got to be some kind of cure for this monster (CH). After reading the stories about the children who are affected by this, I started thinking about how I would handle it if I have passed this on to my children. So, to make a long story even longer, my husband and I decided that we need to do something tangible. Tupperware has provided me with a website. I have decided that for EVERY purchase that is made exclusively through my website, I will donate exactly half of the profits to O.U.C.H. I have sent out a massive emailing to all of my friends and family hoping for their support and asking them to forward that email to everyone in their address books. Now, I am asking everyone here to do the same. I figure if enough people get it, someone is bound to want to help and at the same time, someone may be introduced to this site who really needs it through the links on my website. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for information that they think would be beneficial on the website, please let me know.
Please know, that I am not trying to be a salesperson here, I have no intentions of promoting my business on this site, but I really want to help, but financially, I cannot just write a check. I thought this would be a good way to get donations for O.U.C.H.
The website is http://my.tupperware.com/jengasperson
