How was your weekend? I hope it was Blessed and a lot of fun and I wish you were able to make new memories with your family. We didn’t do much here. On Saturday Charlie my mother in law and I went out to the Birdville Craft Show. I am so glad I did because by visiting there Craft Fair “GOD” has brought new businesses into my life. Including a new American Legion Vendor Team Rachel.
As I went through the business cards Charlie collected for me I knew I needed to reach out to Team Rachel and invite them out to my Craft Show. Because I had lost my mom to Cancer and if I can help someone else fighting this disease then I knew it would be what “God” wanted me to do.
Rachel’s story brings me back to losing Suzzane as she is a teacher and Suzzane wanted to be as well, and Rachel lives closer to Rachel and is a single mom like I was when I had Suzzane, and I went through my “Cancer” scare.
I ask you today to Please reach out to Rachel even if you can’t attend the show or donate and just let her know you will be Praying for her. There are plenty of websites online that offers free cards pick one out and send it to her. Because I know if someone had done this for me it would have meant the world to me.
I think I might need to find a location and set up an event to help them raise money. This week as I finish working on the American Legion Benefit Craft Fair I will be @Praiying for God to help me make the right choice. I would appreciate if you would Pray along with me. Also, I would like to have any suggestions you have on how we can help Team Rachel out.
TeamRachel Etsy Shop sales support the medical fund of Rachel, a teacher and single mother battling stage three breast cancer. Additional details can be found (and donations made) here.
Whatever your talent, put it to use creating original art to be sold in the Team Rachel Headquarters Etsy Store, where sales feed Rachel’s hungry medical fund and ensure her life-saving cancer treatment delayed financial hang-ups.
When you’ve finished, send a message to Rachel or the Team Rachel Headquarters to arrange to pick up, delivery, or shipping of your crafty donation to North Richland Hills, TX!
The Etsy post will include a Team Rachel Artist picture (see the position of Ava’s example)you do not have to use a headshot, feel free to add a photo of your hands creating something. If you have an Etsy shop (or the like) of your own, include a link, contained in the description.
Artwork by children will go in the Ava’s Shoppe, also with a Team Rachel Artist Photo. Send the photo you’d like to use.

So if you’re in DFW, Please come out to the American Legion Benefit Craft Fair and meet Team Rachel. Please share her story with your friends and family and let’s help them raise the last bit of money they need.

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
