You're great Deborah...
I hope Dawn has a quick and good recovery, my prayers are with her.
Cassandra, I was going to ask how to help if I didn´t have a manuscript but your post has help me to find a way, thanks.

Deborah Macgillivray said...

Thanks Cass!! I will tell Dawn of your wishes when I speak with her.

Isabel, there are several ways to help Dawn, all are worthy. Glad you found the alternatives.

Thank you both for helping. She is a valiant lady and a gift to this world!

This is such a great idea, Deborah. I'd also like to suggest that Dawn contact the Save the Quiet Kitty Fund, which is a charity that gives money to authors in crisis.

Email them about Dawn's situation here:
savethequietykitty@yahoo.com

Please let Dawn know we are all thinking of her and wishing her a speedy recovery.
