Over the years on this blog you have no doubt heard about my good friend Erin Shirey. I met Erin when I went to her Baby Bootcamp Class when Henry was six weeks old and we have been close friends ever since.
Last Weds night Erin was up visiting (she lives in Alameda now) and she took me out for my birthday. We had an amazing time -- giggled the whole night and were so in our "zone" that the waitress gave us free champagne as she said we had made her day. She said she was in a bad mood until she saw the two of us together.
The following day Erin flew back to Alameda and her whole world changed. When she got home, she found her daughter Makenzie incredibly sick and unable to recognize her.
Makenzie is now in the ICU at Oakland Children’s Hospital (has been for the last 8 days) and has acute pancreatitis and many other issues severely compromising her health.
Because I believe in the power of prayer and intentional thought, I am asking that you - my family and friends - please send them to this amazing little girl and to her precious family that I so adore.
Also, they don't think that Makenzie will be out of the hospital until Thanksgiving at the earliest and therefore Erin is unable to work. As the owner of her own personal training company, this comprises them financially.
A bank account has been set up to send money. If you can donate anything - even $5.00 - please do as we are hoping that if all her friends get the word out, that it will add up...little by little.
Send donations to:
