I need your help

Fellow blogger friends. I am seeking your assistance with a fundraiser that I am a part of. Let me give you some background. Clint and Kelli Anderson moved to pinedale just a little over a year ago. They have 3 kids, the youngest being Toree. When Toree was about 1 they found a suspicious spot on an MRI that they wanted to keep an eye on with yearly MRI exams. Since then, Clint has changed jobs an the new insurance company would not accept Toree because of this "pre-existing condition" that she has. This last week Toree went in for her annual MRI. The test results did not come back as expected and they sent Toree to Primary Childrens Hospital. The mass had not only grown, but was causing enough pressure on Toree's brain tissue that it was Hemorrhaging (bleeding). There was no choice for Kelli and Clint to have this taken care of. As we all know medical treatment of this kind IS NOT cheap, but worth it for 4 year old Toree. We have come together as the small community of Pinedale to try to help this family pay for this VERY EXPENSIVE surgery. I am reaching out to you as my friends to help us out with whatever you can. We are going to raffle off a 2008 Arctic Cat 700 EFI Camo 4Wheeler with a 3000 lb Warn Winch. (Brand New) Tickets will be $50 each or 3 for $100. Also Colton Taylor (who is 9) has donated his 2004 Yamaha PW50 Motorcycle to be raffled. Tickets will be $5 each or 3 for $10. All proceeds will go to the Toree Anderson Medical Fund. If you are interested in buying some tickets or just donating, please mail them to me at the address below or get them to me in person. I am willing to hand deliver if you win ether of these :)So you are not only buying for a chance to win a great prize and help a family, but to see me in person, how can you resist! At times it may seem like a few dollars won't change anything, but it can. I have figured if each of my regular blog readers bought a $5 ticket we could give them over $150! Think of what we could do if we gave even more?

I sincerely hope that I hear from some of you. I know that if the situation were in reverse and you needed help, Kelli would be the first person to step forward. I can honestly say that these people are some of the most wonderful people that I know.

Hi, I'm a reporter at the Pinedale Roundup, and I want to do a story about Toree. If you could shoot me an email, that'd be great!
