Day 179: This One's For Sally

Today's entry is all about yet one more bizarre twist of fate. 

A dear classmate from high school, Sally, who has just completed a HUGE move with her family from Connecticut to Maine, has now learned that her husband has cancer.  So awful.  And now they will be receiving treatments in Boston, at Dana Farber, effective tomorrow through January.  Such a long journey ahead, both physically and emotionally, for the entire family.

Sally is an amazing inividual...and has most recently been working as Sales Advisor/Manager for a jewelry company called Lia Sophia. Amidst all this personal turmoil, she is a consummate professional who is stressed about losing ground with her monthly, required sales expectations from the company.  As difficult as it is to ask for help, Sally did just that, and reached out to her inner circle for support.  Although I'm happy to promote sales through  friends of mine who might want to order a little bling for the upcoming holidays...I also wanted to offer something "outside the box" to help her situation. I decided that I would offer her a free MemoryWrap, to be marketed at her discretion, as an incentive to encourage sales.  She was very happy with the idea and will create a raffle for the quilt on her business website, where every purchase made enters the customer into the raffle.   I sure hope it works and inspires her customers to order more items. Certainly, I will consider designing  the winner's quilt to be a very special tribute to Sally and her husband.  But more importantly, I sure hope her husband is successful in battling this most horrific curse.  Thankfully, he is blessed with a loving and supportive family.
