Chase bank is giving away 5 million dollars to charity. That in itself makes me feel a little better about the banking industry. Chase will select the charities they give to by counting votes on Facebook on the Chase Community Giving Page. I wanted to ask you all to take a second, if you will, and vote for the LA based Pablove Foundation. It only takes a minute, and could make a huge difference to Pablove should they be awarded a grant.
The mission of The Pablove Foundation is to fund pediatric cancer research and advances in treatment, educate and empower cancer families, and improve the quality of life for children living with cancer through hospital play, music and arts programs. I have blogged about Pablove before, as it is a cause close to my heart. Pablo was preschool classmate of my children in Los Angeles. His family’s journey, through a harrowing year of cancer treatment for their six-year-old son, Pablo, who ultimately did not survive, was heart wrenchingly chronicled by Pablo’s father Jeff on his blog, Pablog.com.
Knowing Pablo’s family and following their journey has had a profound impact on me and so many other families in Los Angeles. Having childhood cancer strike “so close to home” reminded us, and continues to remind us to keep our lives in perspective and continually count our blessings. Pablo’s death will never be right or make sense, but promoting a local foundation that helps families who have been struck with pediatric cancer is something that, in this case, is very easy to do.
Here’s the link to VOTE FOR PABLOVE.
Thank you for voting and helping spread the word.
