For the past two days, we here at 97.3 The Eagle have broken from our normal programming schedule to ask you to help the kids at St. Jude Children's Research Center and become a Partner in Hope. We know how tough it is to listen to all of this. Today is it...so if you haven't become a Partner in Hope, please think about it and call 1-800-335-9793 or go to www.eagle97.com to donate online - $20 a month on your credit card is all we ask. I'm a Partner in Hope and so is my wife and, this year, our little one (now 12), at dinner Wednesday night, asked me about the Partner in Hope, how much it was, etc. Then she asked me where she could find an envelope. 10-15 minutes after dinner she shows up with a sealed envelope in her and and writes "St. Jude's Donations" on it, hands it to me and said that this was her donation to be a Partner in Hope for a month - a $20 bill (from her own money) was in there. She explained that she couldn't do it every month because she didn't have enough money. Needless to say, her mom and I looked at each other and smiled, although I was having a difficult time holding back the TEARS of joy. I know that God opened up "The Book of Meredith" (her name) and put a big Gold Star in it.
Our child is healthy, thanks to God and I can assume that yours is so we are both very thankful! Let's remember those who aren't and help them today. If a 12-year old can understand the significance of helping the kids at St. Jude, then it shouldn't be any problem for any of us adults. 1-800-335-9793. Thanks!
