Don't be surprised if you see me with a coffee cup asking for donations. A few days ago, at my usual spot, I jokingly requested a free cup of coffee since it was Mother's Day. This coffee shop is not known for giving away free tall soy lattes, but I received one that day! That brings me to my motto... not sure if it's a quote...don't know if I made it up or stole it from somewhere. Always ask for what you want...all someone can say is no... (but they usually say yes!) So, I am asking you to please donate to RMHC.
Today I had the brilliant idea (okay maybe not so brilliant!) to create a collection jar and ask my colleagues to clean out their desks and donate any spare change. Yes... I heard all the jokes about asking for money on the expressway on-ramps, etc. I will not take that approach...yet! But, as my deadline nears, you might see me with a coffee cup asking for donations. I know my friend Jan would be thrilled to join me. Actually if I asked her, she should probably text me and say NFW...took me a few minutes to realize what that stood for the first time she used it :)
Thank you to my first donors/coworkers: Doug, Philip, Gail, Mr Potato Head (aka Brent), Shaukat Jay, Kathy and David.
I've been called a "pushy dame" recently...but I hope it was just a joke...I like to think of myself as determined, driven and passionate but not pushy :)

This week I will start sharing the stories of the children and families who benefit from your generous donations.
Please donate today
