Mary's Mammories Money

Our fearless cancer fighting duo!

 Pssst….Hey Mary’s friends and family, look over here! 

K: Did we get their attention? 

O: Looks like it.  

K: Great! So um…Hi! We are Kara and Ondrea. We are old friends of Mary’s.   

O: Not old as in aged, we're both still very youthful and good looking. We've just been friends a long time is all, but I digress.

I have known Mary since high school. She was my college roommate at USD. Could I tell you some stories! More if I could remember them...  

K: I have known Mary since college at U of MN. She was in my Astronomy lab group my first semester there. She and Neil kind of adopted me. I could also tell some stories! 

Right now you are saying, "Great. You know Mary. So, what's the point?" Well, here’s the thing, neither of us live in Minneapolis anymore, which sucks normally because, let’s face it, Minneapolis is a great place to live.  

O: Word! But, it sucks even more now, because we aren’t THERE to support our friend and her family.   

K: Yeah, so Ondrea and I were talking about what we could do, and she had a brilliant idea! 

O: Well, I just realized that we aren’t the only ones who want to help but have the distance barrier. But yeah, I am brilliant.  

K: So, here’s the deal, Ondrea and I are going to send Mary and Neil a little cash via paypal, and are inviting you to do the same, if you are so inclined. We are calling it Mary's Mammories Money. Again, Ondrea's idea.
 

O: Mary and Neil will be able to use this money however they want. If they are hungry for something super specific, they’ll order it. If they need some adult time or a night out, they’ll get a sitter. Or whatever. This money will be there, in lieu of us physically, to help them just be a little more at ease. 

And anyone can donate. So, even if you are local and can’t drop off a home cooked meal… or want to babysit the rugrats without, you know... actually having to babysit (although those kids are super fun), here's your answer!  

K: No shame folks, there’s a reason I married a man who can cook, and why Mary and Neil adopted me, instead of visa versa!  

O: Ha!  Anyway, even if you are local, this is another option for you to pitch in.

Obviously, we recognize that nothing really replaces face to face contact with loved ones.  

K: But money is a close second. :P 

O: So, this is the PayPal account that Mary and Neil use: nrgranlund@gmail.com. If you feel so inclined, make it grow a little, or a lot! Just remember to click "I'm sending money to family or friends," so that they doesn't get hit with any bogus fees.
 

K: At the very least, we hope that all of Mary’s loved ones will let her know that she in their thoughts. And give her the kind of strength one can only get when they know they have a huge support system behind them. 

O: So give away folks, and let’s help Mary kick cancer’s ass!

Helping Mary beat cancer, so she can get back to what she loves.
