DUCK FEST is supporting our fellow blog bud, Daffy. She is setting up the JD Scholarship Fund in honor of her sister, Wendy. JD is Daffy's 5 year old nephew who just lost his mother suddenly, last week. Every parent strives to give the best to their child and as a single father, sending JD to college will be difficult.
Right now, JD is too young to understand what is happening around him. It will be a long hard road for him. I can relate to the feeling of growing up without a mother. It isn't easy. I'd like to think that our efforts during DUCK FEST will one day give JD hope. That the generousity of strangers helped get him to college, and a community banded together for him and his family during a very difficult time.
DUCK FEST will begin on June 3rd. This day will be very difficult for Daffy and her family as it would have been Wendy's 36th birthday.
Donating to a good cause has never been more fun! Come back June 3rd and check out all the participating bloggers and their giveaways that will be listed!

Cool! I will be linking up later tonight!
Thank you so much for helping with this
Hello! Just tagged you for a meme if you are interested. No pressure, participate if/when you want.
I don't even know what to say....thank you is just so very inadequate. This will mean so much to my nephew and brother in law. My sister carried the majority of the household income, the insurance and a plethora of other parts of life that are current in a tailspin. Knowing that you have so generously opened your hearts to his cause brings me to my knees.
Wendy enrolled JD in kindergarten three days before heading to the hospital with a headache...
I enjoyed visiting your blog. Very Insightful!
Hopefully mine will encourage you.
God Bless, Bob west
