We want to remind you all that the Angels for Brianna auction has started. If you haven't yet gotten over there to view the auction - we encourage you to do so now.
Angels for Brianna does not benefit ZNE or Hope Sees a Star. However, it will provide direct support to Brianna's family to help with medical expenses, as well as provide funds for an art program at Brianna's school, in her memory.

On Wednesday July 11, Chelise Stroud Hery will be meeting with staff at the Oakland Zoo to discuss the logistics and requirements necessary for the mosaic installation. Stay tuned for more details later this week.
We want to thank those of you who have already responded to this effort. Among some notes we have received:

Hey Chel,
Wow!! GOD is lifting up all the goods ones. I also lost my little sister last year to brain cancer. She was only 13 years old. I would be more than happy to contribute in anyway to the other projects as well. Please keep me informed and I will bookmark the Hope Sees A Star site. Please add me in.
(((hugs)))

Oh wow Chel.....I am sitting here in tears.....what a beautiful thing you have put together to honor these two beautiful young women. Thank you Chel! I will gladly help out, and I will be sure to check back on the blog for more information. I think that is so special....and what a lovely place to have the permanent memorial reside.
Thanks again for everything...you are an angel! :)

Chel,
I am sitting here at work in my little cubicle with tears pouring as I read about these two precious girls. I am again treacherously reminded of how fragile and precious life is...
I can give the gift of art, and I will. I already have an idea in mind, so expect an original donation from me within the next couple of weeks.
Look for the banner linked to their site on my blog very soon.
Thanks for sharing,
Brandie
