hey all, our friend kim discovered a link to nathanael's fundraiser on a random blog a while back. i contacted the blogger, elizabeth, and she's not sure where she found out about us, but she wanted to do something to help. she created a post and button called "artists for nathanael" to be put on blogs and linked to his fundraiser. see post and instructions here: elizabeth's blog post for nathanael she is using this photo of n when he was a junior lifeguard (taken by kim long ago) which you can use to create a fundraising button on your own blog and forward to others to do the same.
PLEASE spread the word to help my beloved man! you never know what will turn out and we have been SOOOOOOOO blessed by all the people we have supported us in ANY way... general support, prayers most of all, ideas, love and gifts. thank you everyone. this process has been a blessing and has given us some hope in a hard year.
thank you for passing it on! thank you elizabeth for this creative and heartfelt idea to promote nathanael's cause!
and... 
my gramma bama turned 80 last week on July 28! see my cousin nick's wonderful tribute to her on youtube and be on the lookout for younger, dorky and some naked-with-fat-rolls pictures from days gone by:
