Hey Everyone,
Please take a few to read this blog,
This email was sent to Gary D, a colleague of mine, by a very nice and valued client of ours (AFR, Zuto, Proline Bldrs, Gary D. & Myself ) in South Miami has a daughter with RETT Syndrome, Julianne Espinosa, a young girl that looks for a brighter tomorrow.
I do not usually send out emails or blog ever, yet I think i have found a reason to start today, as this family has always believed in us (the companies mentioned above) and has continued to support us with potential opportunities by referring our companies to their friends and families.
So I just hoped that we can also show them we are not only their contractors, consultants or some vendors that takes their money or even another stranger in this world that doesn't care, but that we are a network of good people that look to support other good people out here that do care and hope Jullianne finds the beauty that all of us are searching for throughout our own journeys in life and may she experience all the love and joy life has to offer her everyday ---
So I am asking you to Please take a look at the email below as well as visit her website and consider donating whatever you can, as the little donations do add up, and can make a great difference for Mr. & Mrs. Espinosa's daughter, Julianne.
In a time in which our economy is not doing well, and life maybe hard for us -- AND FOR MANY OF YOU WHO KNOW ME WELL, YOU KNOW ITS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, yet we ALL still have a lot to be grateful for, especially as we each have the ability to make life a little bit better for all around us by simply taking a moment to show we care for all who may cross our paths --- rather it is for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime (btw - good poem, you should read it!!).
Lets try and help share our good fortune to help better this wonderful little girl's life and hopefully give some support to her family
Please consider donating by visiting the link below ---- IF YOU CAN NOT DONATE, ITS UNDERSTANDABLE, THINGS ARE HARD, YET MAYBE YOU CAN SUPPORT JULIANNE BY JOINING HER ON FACEBOOK AND/OR TWITTER AND LETTING OTHERS WHO CARE AS WELL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP GIVE SUPPORT ….
IF WE ALL TOOL JUST 5 MINUTES OF OUR TIME, WE COULD MAKE A WONDERFUL IMPACT ON A BEAUTIFUL GIRLS JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE ---
.

Dear Gary,
We have committed to fundraiser for the 2012 Coconut Creek Strollathon to raise money for the International Rett Syndrome Foundation (IRSF) and would appreciate your support! IRSF is the leading private funder of Rett syndrome research; and is the most comprehensive nonprofit organiziation dedicated to providing thorough and accurate information about Rett syndrome, offering informational and emotional family support, and stimulating research aimed at accelerating treatments and a cure for Rett syndrome.
Rett syndrome is a genetic neurological disorder occurring almost exclusively in females and becoming apparent after 6-18 months of early normal development. The resulting regression leads to lifelong impairments, including lost speech, seizures, scoliosis, irregular breathing patterns, and more than half of the children and women lose the ability to walk. Those diagnosed with Rett syndrome require maximum assistance with basic daily activities.
Our daughter, Julianne, was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome when she was 2 years old and we were living in NJ away from most of our family and friends in South Florida. Those were hard times for us, but having an organization like IRSF really helped us get through that rough period by educating and supporting us, and by simply letting us know that we were not alone. IRSF is contributing to research scientists around the world that have been making incredible progress--first, in finding the cause of Rett Syndrome, and hopefully soon in developing a cure.
For more information on Rett Syndrome, please visit: http://www.rettsyndrome.org/
Our team has set a goal to raise $20,000 for the Strollathon. Every dollar we can raise brings us one step closer to finding treatments and a cure for Rett syndrome. Please donate whatever you can for this worthy cause and help find a cure. The link below will take you directly to the donation page or, if you prefer to write a check, you can print out a hard copy donation form and mail in the donation.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this email to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
Thank you for your generosity in support of Julianne Espinosa and IRSF.
Angel, Ileana, Julianne & Mary Espinosa
