Garden Surplus for Shannon

I am currently working on a fundraiser for a girl in our neighborhood named Shannon.  She has leukemia and recently underwent her second bone marrow transplant.  Thankfully she is doing well.  She has been responding well to the current course of treatment and we pray and hope for her recovery.
Cancer treatment does not come cheap.  Her family has been helping Shannon fight this disease for many years now.   Their medical bills are daunting and I wanted to find a way to help alleviate this burden so they can focus on helping Shannon heal. 
I have combined forces with some other people in my neighborhood to sponsor "Garden Surplus for Shannon".  We have solicited members of the community to see if they would be willing to donate surplus produce from their gardens.  The produce will then be sold at the local farmer's market each Saturday through the end of September.
We at Garden Surplus for Shannon are asking you to help support our efforts in several ways.  You can donate your garden surplus, you can come and shop the farmer's market and buy the produce, or you can simply donate any amount of money you see fit at this site.  Next to this post is a donate button that will take you to a paypal account set up to receive donations on behalf of Shannon. 
Please help us help this family with their medical bills so they can focus on Shannon getting better.
