Vote for Sam!

Our favorite photographer, Misty Green, does volunteer work for a charity called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.  They are doing a “model search” and fundraiser, and Samantha is participating. To see the photo that Misty entered of Samantha, or to vote for Samantha (or others – but why would you?) for $1 per vote at http://www.sandypucvotes.com/pickpic/gallery/image.php?id=344.   Net proceeds of the contest will benefit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.  City winners will be chosen based on votes.  The national winner will be chosen from among the city winners by judges from modeling agencies.

This group, which was recognized in Newsweek last month, helps families who are losing their newborn children to create remembrances of them through photography, helping them to cope with their loss.  These photographers volunteer their time and talent to help families capture and provide permanent images of children for parents whose babies will never come home from the hospital. 

Having dealt with the fear that Samantha might well not come home from the NICU, I can really identify with the feelings of these parents.  This cause is dear to my heart.  I hope you’ll consider voting for Samantha and donating to this worthy cause.
