This is a heartbreaking post. Coupon Mommy of 2 (3) and her family were informed over this past Christmas Season that 3 year old Emily is very ill with Stage 4 cancer. They are in need of a lot of financial help right now for travels and medical expenses. You can read more about this on Shannon's (Coupon Mommy of 2) blog.
I have not personally seen her ask one time for anything from anyone except for prayer...which of course, she has. If you can add this family to your list of prayer, I know it is appreciated. Many women from the blogging community are coming together to try to ease some of her financial burden. Melissa over at Fabulous Family Reviews and Giveaways is putting together a raffle to aid in the collection of money. This raffle is huge already and has many prizes and sponsors:

There are going to be multiple prize packs to be won. A minimum of $5.00 is required to enter the giveaway. $5 will get you one entry into the giveaway. For every $1 after that = 1 entry. So donate $10 and you will get 6 entries into the giveaway.
