Thank you,

Nathan

Here is a letter of thanks Alyssa wanted me to share with all the people helping out:

It goes without saying that news of my breast cancer recurrence is pretty devastating. It will continue to be a scary time for us until we are able to move forward passed the cancer and onto the rest of our life together as a happy, loving, and HEALTHY family!

What do you say to people that you don’t know as they are rallying around you at a time when things look so bleak? “Wow” is just about the only thing I can think of to say. I am truly (almost) at a loss for words. Ask Nathan, he’ll tell you that is a rarity!

I just wanted to give the Café family a huge thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am absolutely amazed by your generous giving of time, skill, money, etc. and can feel the prayers and positive feelings being sent our way.

The words “thank you” just don’t seem like enough. I hope you’ll take my healing as the biggest thanks of all!

Alyssa Sparks

Hey guys,

For you music fans go to http://www.holdforswank.com if you buy their new album they will donate 2-3$ from each album sold to help us cover medical costs during this fight with cancer...check 'em out! If you guys have any questions about the band, I can answer those as well...

Thanks,

Nathan

Hey mate

thanks to Piers for making us aware of this thread

Mate, we have just had our monthly Bahai Feast (prayer meeting) tonight and you, Alyssa and Jonah were each named to be remembered for a healing prayer.

Hope you all felt the scattering of angels released from it's recitation

Kam

Thanks Kam,

Honestly I slept well last night...

BTW, for those following the situation, Alyssa's surgery MAY be on December 7th...an 8 hour surgery from what we hear...

Don Theo says:

It's so great to see fellow mentalists rallying around this season of giving to help out our own in their time of need.

For what Dr. Bill and Nathan and Alyssa are going through...man there really is no good time for things like this to happen, but the madness of the holiday season can make things tough. I'm so proud to be part of a community that has been giving so much of themselves to help our friends out.

I don't want to get too detailed, but Alyssa's recent test results have revealed that this is not going to be a walk in the park by any means. I have confidence though, because this family is strong, especially when their extended family (that's us!) is here to do all that we can.

So, here's a recap of the different ways you can help out:

Paolo Cavalli – 50$ 2 E-Book Offer

Mentalcraft Pendulum Offer

Here are the details on the awesome raffle that Rich has set up:

That's Great that Luke set up a a donation button at http://www.imentalism.com for Nathan and Alyssa.

I spoke with Nathan about an idea I had for adding a little fun 'raffle' type thing to the donation process. He's all for it. So here's the deal:I decided to put up my latest Neolithic Pendulum as a raffle prize. The pendulum,if I were to list it at Mentalcraft would be $49.95. Even if you do not use pendulums yourself this is still a nice piece and would make a great gift for someone or yourself.

Everyone who makes a donation....their name will be assigned a #. The #'s will be collected in a bag by Nathan. At midnight December 15 the raffle will end. Alyssa will draw a winner from the bag, and I will send the winner the Pendulum.

The Pendulum and a descripition can be seen here:

Good luck and best wishes to all contributor's!

Rich

If you would just like to make a direct donation, those can be made via paypal to

sparxian@frontiernet.net

And of course, there is a great book out there right now, and the proceeds are going to help the cause. That's Rob Domenech's wonderful book The Eureka Moment

http://theeurekamoment.blogspot.com/

Great book, and a great deal (only $20...that's 30% off!) by mentioning "Alyssa" as the code when sending paypal payment to Rob.

I know there have been other threads out there about helping our friends out, just wanted to coagulate everything a little.

Also, if you haven't picked it up yet, don't forget Bill Cushman and friends' book:

Companionage

I've had a chance to peek at some of the contributions for the upcoming Tattoo book while helping Nathan out a bit on keeping things organized, and you all are going to love some of the stuff lined up so far.

Happy Holidays,

Don
