There’s been some upsetting news about two blogger friends who are sick and need help with finances. I hope that by posting their information here you’ll take a look and see if you can help in some way. You can pray for them, send good thoughts their way, send them a tweet, message or comment, donate to the funds set up for them or you can spread the word about them too.

Liz Strauss was hospitalized with pneumonia and kidney stones and for some unknown reason (red tape sucks) her hospital bill was denied. Liz is one of the kindest bloggers, speakers and connectors I’ve come to know. I proudly display my SOB award from her because she doesn’t do anything without much thought and consideration behind it. She walks the walk. Please find out how we can help Liz get well.

Anissa Mayhew is bawdy, funny and has dealt with too much stuff already in her life. Having a stroke again was not in the cards for her. She was getting ready to go on a Disney Cruise when she collapsed. She had a massive stroke and then a second one in the hospital. She is a wife and mom of three amazing children. Her daughter Peyton was diagnosed with cancer about a year ago. Please use the twitter hashtag #prayersforanissa. Please visit Hope For Anissa to purchase a restaurant gift card or make a paypal donation. Go get ‘em Anissa.

This is when we can show how we bloggers can stick together and use social media for a meaningful cause and really touch someone’s life.
