Congratulations to Adrienne in Arizona, who was the Angels for Ana raffle winner for March. Her name was randomly selected from all the donations/entries received from March 1 - 31, 2009.
I happen to know Adrienne personally, she's a co-worker of mine and a wonderful friend. The prize for March was supposed to be a quilted flannel baby blanket but Adrienne's kids are too old for baby blankets and too young for Adrienne to be thinking about grandkids... so she asked me instead to save that prize for someone who could use it more than she could right now. Offering to make her something else instead, bless her heart, she asked for one of those fabric tube "thingies" that you use to collect and contain plastic shopping bags. Adrienne, your wish is my command, it will be on the way to you soon!
I'll write a separate entry highlighting the April 2009 raffle prize, with the original March prize up for grabs again in May.

How can you help?
First, please keep Ana in your thoughts and prayers.
I am a firm believer that prayers can move mountains and Ana has some big mountains in front of her. When I ask what I can do for her, prayer is always her first request.
Second, spread the word.
Email your friends. Blog about her. Share her story and ask others to do the same. The more Angels we have on her side, the better. If you do share her story, feel free to use the pretty bloggy button at the bottom of this post to let everyone know that you’re an Angel for Ana.
Third, if you are able, make a donation.
100% of all donations (minus the small service fee that PayPal charges on our end) will be given directly to Ana to cover medical-related care and expenses for her injuries. For every $5 you donate, you will receive one entry into a monthly drawing for a raffle prize. Donations can be made in any amount via PayPal (just click on the Daisy button on the upper right side of this blog) or you can mail a check. Please email me at AngelsForAna@gmail.com if you wish to mail a check and I’ll provide the address.
Fourth, send her a note.
If you would like to send a personal message to Ana, be it words of encouragement, your own similar story, names of resources that may be able to help or anything else, you can leave a comment on on this site (see: Sign Ana’s Guest Book or Leave a Comment) or send an email to AngelsForAna@gmail.com. I will make sure she receives a printed copy of your note.
For more detailed information, refer to “What are the raffles all about?” or “Donation Details and Angel Roster.”

What are the raffles all about?
Economic times are hard for everyone and there are so many worthy causes out there. In order to provide a bit of incentive for you to become an Angel for Ana, this site will offer a monthly raffle prize. For every $5 (US dollars) you donate, you will receive one entry into the monthly drawing. If you donate $5, you will receive one entry. For $50, you will receive 10 entries. Odds of winning are dependent on the number of entries received in a given month.
Entries will be considered for the month in which the donation is received. For example, donations received from February 1 – February 28 will be eligible for the drawing on March 1st. Donations received from March 1 – March 31 will be eligible for the drawing on April 1st.
Please note that it may take a few days for PayPal to process your donation, so donations made at the end of the month may not be received until the beginning of the next month. You will be eligible for the raffle during the month your donation was received into the Angels For Ana PayPal account, even if it was sent in the previous month.
I will email the winner(s) within three days of the drawing to obtain shipping information for mailing your prize. Shipping costs will be at my expense and I can ship anywhere in the world. I cannot guarantee delivery times since I don’t work for the postal service, but I do promise to mail the prize within one week of receiving your mailing address. If the winner does not respond to my email by the first of the following month, they will forfeit the prize. (I’ll send reminder emails during the month, in case you miss the first one.) In the event of no response, I will draw another name and award the prize to the new person.
