Title: Saint Judes story
Post by: BKA on June 03, 2007, 06:16:00 PM
I just wanted to share this.I been following the St. Judes auction like many here all week. Today when I looked at the local news paper the front page of our Regions section,it reads Estate of Mercer County man benefits childern. Seens a local man Gary Lloyd Croy who passed this last fall at the age of 62 asked his sister the executrix of his estate, to sell his farm and personal property and give the proceeds to St. Judes. She has wrote a check for $444,401.69 to them. She quoted him as saying "If the contribution saves the life of one child, it will be worth it". Folks that is touching. If you havn't bid on a item please go do so now. every little bit helps.

Those of us who make our living in healthcare understand the value of an open heart when it comes to financially supporting organizations in their quest to provide for the poor and/or underserved.  Auctions like the one on Tradgang this week can bring out the best in all of us if we let them.  And at the end of the day, doing our best for someone else is really all that matters.
