Fund Raiser and Update on Brantley Jacobs

Brantley Jacobs is the baby that was born eight weeks early in December and he was diagnosed with Klippel-Trenaunay and Cloves Syndrome.  He was in OU Childrens and then Arkansas Childrens before he was able to go home in March.  Since then Brantley and his parents have been to Boston to confer with Doctors there.  They were told that Brantley would have to have his leg amputated but the doctors would like to wait until he is a year old.  Brantley will still have many doctors appointments.  He still will have to endure pain, infections and bleeding.  This family has many expenses and I am doing a fund raiser for Brantley's medical fund, travel and time off from work expenses.




I have two books published and I am taking orders for them.  Three dollars from each book sold will go to Brantley's fund.  I am collecting the money first and then will order the books and will send signed books to those that participate.  For those that live close to Enid I will deliver. Shipping may be added to those that are mailed.  Both books do come with a free audio download.


The books are Jungle Friends, Leo the Lion and the Big Bug Dilemma and Jungle Friends, Mack the Missing Monkey.   Leo is $8.00 and Mack is $9.00 but if you purchase both the price will be $16.00.  You can email me at brendasalladay@sbcglobal.net and I can tell you what your total is and if I have to charge for shipping.  You can pay by for the books by paypal using the mentioned email. You can also pay by checks, cash or money order but I would not recommend sending cash in the mail. 
 This link will take you to my author website if you would like to look at it http://leothelionandthebigbugdilemma.webs.com/mackthemissingmack.htm

If you would like to read more about Brantley you can read my blog post the Journey of Brantley Jacobs and A story of Birds and thinking about Brantley Jacobs.  You can also google his name and there should be several stories show up.  He has been written about by CNN, the Oklahoman and Channel 4 and 5 from Oklahoma City has reported his story.

Whether you can participate in the fund raiser or not please keep Brantley and his family in your prayers.  Pray that God will keep His hand on them as they travel this journey.

Ephesians 6:18

New International Version (NIV)
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

  1. Brenda, I will order both books. I will bring you the money Sunday morning. This is a very good and generous jesture you are doing. May God bless you as you are blessing others. Deb
