Help a Friend @ GreenYourDecor

Jennae's 4-year old daughter

Almost two years ago, around the time I was starting 1GreenProduct.com, I came across another new eco-blog called GreenYourDecor run by a talented designer named Jennae Petersen.

Jennae has achieved great success with her blog and has created a real community of readers who eagerly follow her pronouncements on eco-friendly decor.

Recently, Jennae shared some devastating news on her blog - her four-year old daughter had been diagnosed with A.L.L., a type of childhood leukemia.

The good news is that A.L.L. has a 85-90% cure rate.

The even better news (via update from Jennae) is that her daughter's disease has officially gone into remission!! :)

The not-so-good news is that her daughter will still need treatment for 2-years and that neither Jennae (self-employed) nor her husband (recently laid off) have health insurance.

But there is more good news: Jennae's daughter has been approved for Peachcare, Georgia's state-run insurance program for children.  While it's not yet clear how much Peachcare will cover, Jennae is relieved to know that her family's limited financial resources won't affect her daughter's access to care.

For anyone who would like to help Jennae and her family get through this difficult period, one of Jennae's friends has set up a ChipIn site to accept donations.
