@Phil801 learned yesterday that his baby daughter Serenity has leukemia. He has been live-blogging and Twittering the experience as it unfolds.
This kind of leukemia can be successfully treated 80% of the time, but Serenity is in for a 2.5 year battle. We know she’ll make it through with flying colors, and here’s how you can help:
- Follow @Phil801 on Twitter and send a supportive note. (You can also subscribe to Phil’s blog and Serenity’s FriendFeed room.)
- Make a donation. Serenity is one of eight kids, and “leukemia” wasn’t exactly a line item in their monthly budget. Even $5 can go a long way towards helping Serenity and her family. (Jesse Stay is organizing a more formal donation plan when banks open on Tuesday.)
- If you own a digital video camera, I may have a creative way for you to make a donation. Email me [marina (at) marinamartin (dot) com] or direct message me on Twitter.
- Spread the word on Twitter, your own blog, etc. If you can’t donate, don’t underestimate the impact of a kind thought and supportive word.
Thanks to Jesse Stay for creating the widget
