KALEB SCHWADE, CANDACE BATTISTE, and all of YOU for reaching out in various ways to help these families in need!
DONATION UPDATES:
As of September 2007, roughly $95,000++ has been raised in donations from PayPal, personal checks, and merchandise. And Kudos to all of you who helped provide the family a much needed vehicle to better suit Kaleb's medical needs!
WAY TO GO!!! We can truly make a DIFFERENCE for families/individuals in NEED!!!!
This page (formerly the Help Kaleb Page) began when a group of people were touched by a Florida family and the needs they faced due to the horrendous tragedy they endured (see Kaleb’s story
). We set up this page to offer prayerful and financial support to the family. In seeing the tremendous outpouring of encouragement, donations, and prayers the family received- we could not help but to extend the same type of help and hope to others.
We will feature a family in need every two to three months. Our goal is to offer hope and support to families and individuals in need, in hopes of changing the world around us- one family at a time.
Please continue to partner with us as we “spread the word” through bulletins, chat rooms, and whatever means possible to raise awareness of each family’s needs. The more people who are aware of a family’s need- the more people who have the opportunity to help. PLEASE help us help more families! One person CAN make a difference, and together we can change lives and offer hope!
This page is a result of someone wanting to help her friend. She forwarded her friend’s story to all of her MySpace friends. Just like so many of you forwarded the story to your friends. One person sent this bulletin to someone who never even knew the family in need. That one person decided to take it a step further and start this page. Then as it grew, more people joined in, and together we are ALL making a difference!
If you would like to send your sentiments to the families we feature, please post a comment, it will be easier for the family to view it than emails.
We will also be accepting donations for the Hope And Support Page. Although MySpace is FREE, we have been incurring costs due to the growing size of this website. In the past, we have absorbed the costs from our own resources. PLEASE UNDERSTAND: It is our FULL desire that as much profit will go towards these families as possible, so any UNUSED funds will go toward the featured families and/or the Kaleb Schwade Foundation (the foundation set up in honor of Kaleb). We will also be posting a list of our current needs (envelopes, packing materials, file folders, etc.), so that those who are unable to give financially may also have an opportunity to aid us in helping more families/individuals in need.
Help Us Help Other Families - Donate To HOPE AND SUPPORT!

Thank you to those of you who have made banners, default pics, donated, and passed these stories along!

Thank you to Ryan from UnlocktoTalk who has made this page easier to navigate. A special thank you to Bryant McGill for all of the various types of support he has offered! -Sheíla

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages...

God sends a friend when He knows you need
<br />A hug, or a smile, or an ear…
<br />The kind you can count on
<br />In good times and bad
<br />The kind you can tell all your troubles, and add
<br />A good feeling to even the toughest day…
<br />God sends a friend who's great company
<br />and lets you be all you can be
<br />And God really knows His business, because
<br />He sent a friend like you to me!
<br />
