Be an elf for Abby (cross post)

I read Deux Looks today and heard about Abby. She was born with a malignant brain tumor. She's now 7 months old  and has just completed surgery and is undergoing chemotherapy. Her parents were told she wouldn't survive one month.

Abby has a fairy godmother in SL - Alyssum Therian. She's been trying to raise money to help Abby's parents out during this difficult time. Right now you can go to her store, Love, Aly and buy this cute little elf outfit for only 100L. All of the proceeds go to Abby.

This is not the best photo of this adorable little ensemble, but you can see the whole thing over at Alyssum's blog.  You are also most welcome to throw extra cash into the tip jar, or hell, forgo the elf outfit and just donate at Love, Aly.

Truth is, there are so many people out there who need help and support this holiday. There are very personal reasons why Abby's story affected me so, and maybe it does you too. In any case, I hope that we all remember to stop and buy elf costumes or donate time to soup kitchens or buy toys for the kids in hospitals and go walk dogs in shelters and visit elderly folks in assisted living programs.

We're not always going to be so damned lucky, you know? We need to stick together people. Stick together.
