Blood Drive in Michigan September 29th, 2008

[AmyMiles]

Hello everyone

We are doing a blood drive in memory of Faith on September 29, 2008. I am making a montage on onetruemedia.com for the blood drive. I want to put up pictures of babies who received blood during their hospital stay.

If you want your babe to be included in the video montage email me your picture to ame_amers@hotmail.com

Thanks!

[AmyMiles]

All babes are welcome survivors and non survivors! As long as they required a type of blood product.

[Corin Nava]

Sounds great Amy! I will email you now!

[Donna Easley]

I love it!! If you don't mind I will email you Alex's picture this evening. He received quite a bit of blood during his time in the hospital.

[Chris and TracyMeats]

What a great idea! I think giving blood is very important. Ian received a lot of blood and platelets during his NICU stay. I will find a baby picture of him and email you.

No blood here Amy, but once again, I see the finger prints of God! What fine instruments of the Lord the Miles family have turned out to be. You are shining light of his glory!

[Donna Easley]

Sorry Amy, it was one of those night last night. I will work on getting that emailed today.

Amy, I love all your videos!
In your montage video, I love the line, "most people only dream of angels, we were able to hold one in our arms".
How beautiful!

The video is great. Braden did not receive any blood. I didn't realize CDH babies often required blood products until joining Cherubs. It's still amazes me how different these babies are. Great idea!

[AmyMiles]

If you know anyone that lives in West Michigan could you all email them! I am so sad that our blood drive is not going to be successful. We don't have a whole lot of people signed up! In a church of 1400 people only 3 have signed up! 4 more people from Steve's school and I think thats it so far! :(

[Chris and TracyMeats]

The video for the blood drive turned out great Amy!! Ian thought it was pretty neat to see his baby picutre in your video. Ian and I wish you the best of luck for a wonderful blood drive on the 29th and we will be thinking of you and your family that day. I hope it is a big success!!

Have you put an ad in your local paper for the blood drive or spot on the radio? Sometimes, you can get them to donate the space or air time for a good cause. Worth checking into. Making posters and putting them up is also an idea, like in your church or work place. You still have a couple of weeks--praying that more people sign up and give blood. If we lived in Michigan, we would be there for sure!!

[AmyMiles]

I recently contacted a radio station and am waiting to hear back from them. We live near a larger city and they were going to charge us 360$ for one day for Faith's obit, so I doubt that they would be willing to donate space. It's a great idea though. I will look into other radio stations as well.

[Corin Nava]

Amy-the video is beautiful! I hope that more people start signing up for the blood drive and make it a big success! Good luck with it!

Amy if you let other area churches know in time, they put it their bulletins and advertise for you too.
