What's Adam been up to?

Hey folks, just checking in to let everyone know that I am still around. I don't come around as much any more because I have been taking a break from my HelpMeRick.com duties to spend time with my family and work on a few other projects behind the scenes.

I am very proud of one such project, a website called ChanisProgress.org.

Several years ago I worked on our local senior paper. I did everything from write, to layout, to photography. During that time I worked for one of the greatest bosses I will ever have. Susan was not only a great boss, but a great person. During the time I worked with her, I saw her go through many life developments and she was always open with me about what was going on in her life. As the years have passed and I've had a number of jobs since, she remains a close friend.

Late last May, shortly after her graduation and 18th birthday, Susan's daughter Chani was in a major accident and was left a partial quadriplegic as a result.

Susan has carefully documented the events of Chani's recovery in a scrapbook and she has tirelessly sent out email udpates to concerned friends and family.

Reading through her emails, as money has become a problem yet miracles continue, I decided to build a website to help Susan keep family and friends informed on Chanis progress and perhaps raise some much needed funds in the process.

Today, ChanisProgress.org went live.

I have designed the site to allow a community of supporters to build online. A place where Chani can see everyone who is pulling for her and read their comments of support. I don't expect the site to go viral and see millions of visitors a day, but I do hope that it provides friends and family to watch the progress and, at the same time ease some of the load on Susan as she works to keep everyone informed of her constant progress.

Whether you know Chani or not, I encourage everyone to stop by and read about Chanis progress and, if the feeling so strikes you, drop a few dollars into her support fund.
