Gabe's 2nd Birthday $5 Obama Fundraiser Link
My son Gabe (Gabro) turns 2 years old on July 18, 6 days away. In the last two years, his mother and I have been blessed with the fact that he has been healthy, playful, social, and loving. For those who have had the chance to spend even a small amount of time with him, I think they can agree that those are just a few of his overall characteristics. We are also blessed to know that he loves NPR in the car, has his own "Daddy's lil Democrat" tshirt, has had "Lefty" the beanie baby donkey in his crib/bed since he was born, and understands the necessity to severely limit Fox News in the household he tends to spit up when watching it) :)
So far, we have $195 raised, 39% of our goal.
Gabe's 2nd Birthday $5 Obama Fundraiser Link
In Gabe's name, his mother and I would like to raise money for Senator Obama in Gabe's name so that he may grow up in a much better, safe, stable, and more caring world, based on morals and dignity. As some may know, I had worked on Senator Obama's campaign, volunteering during the primaries in two states and am involved in his general election campaign. My family have always maintained that to care is to hope, and to hope is to risk. I believe that encapsulates everything that I could say about his campaign and the people involved, which I have had an honor of meeting as a volunteer.
For his 1st birthday, his mother and I asked that people donate money for MS research in his name. Every birthday, we will choose a new cause. Don't get me wrong, he still gets spoiled with gifts :) To commemorate Gabe's 2nd birthday, Cara and I are asking others to donate just $5 (the bare minimum allowed on the webiste) to the Obama campaign using the link below. Our goal is to raise $500 for Senator Obama in Gabe's name by his 2nd birthday on July 18th just with individual $5 donations. Feel free to donate more if you wish though :) We believe this can be a very reachable goal if friends, family, Democrats, Republicans, and other Obama supporters help out. I do understand that some may not be supporters, and even if you decide not to donate, please keep Gabe in your prayers so that he may live life with the highest ideals possible.
We are already 39% away from our goal. Remember, we are asking only for the minimum $5 donation. Please help us reach our goal of $500.
Thank you very much.
Update #1: We are now 47% to our goal. Thank you all so much who have donated.
