Help Melana get a college scholarship

Melana is actually applying for a $3,000 college scholarship and has made a 3 minute video talking about her experience with cancer and why she should get the scholarship. Please go onto the web-site www.whyideserveascholarship.com and vote for Melana to get the scholarship. The more votes she receives, the better chance she has to win. You can vote 1x per day...it is very easy, all you need to do is register (they will e-mail you a confirmation stating that you have registered, it’s titled WIDAS and it could take up to 12 hours to go thru) then you can go on that site and vote until your little heart is content. PLEASE VOTE ASAP AND OFTEN...ALSO PLEASE TELL FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO VOTE TOO!! As you know college can be expensive, and this is an amazing way for her to get a scholarship…and I promise you will be blessed by the video. :0)

August Update

Hi all,

Just wanted to send out an update on Nick and Melana as I have some exciting news to share with you!!

Nick has been feeling well for the most part and he has been very busy making more jewelry and handing it out to all the ladies that he meets. As always he is continuing to bless everyone that he comes in contact with. Please continue to pray for him as he has an appointment with his Oncologist on Thursday and with his Endocrinologist next month and we are waiting to get status on the results of his chemo treatments. Also, we are praying that he will be able to go back to work soon; doing some sort of light duty….he has an appointment to talk to his employer on Wednesday in regards to returning back to work.

As far as Melana goes, I am soooooo very excited to tell you that she just finished her last round of chemo on Friday, Aug 15th!! We are so very happy that she is done and we wanted you know how blessed we are for all of your prayers and support. As of this weekend though, Melana actually has Shingles! Please be praying for her quick healing!

SHOP FROM HOME FOR FUNDRAISING!!!!!!

We have been given an amazing opportunity for a fundraising event! For the next year, you can go to Carol Ann's Gifts and Collectables online, to shop for gifts for friends and family (or for yourself!) and the shop will donate 30% of the proceeds of the sale directly to the Siblings In Cancer fund! It's easy to do and so handy for those of us who find it easier to shop from home!!!

Go to www.carolanngifts.com, (and bookmark it on your computer for lots of future use!) and shop! During the checkout process, you will be asked for a fundraising code. Type in the word "siblings" and 30% will go to the Bresnyan family.

Thank you so much for your support and happy shopping!
