Jumping Rope for Heart
and when this opportunity was presented to her at school she 'jumped' on it. She walked in the door, handed me the flyer and told me, yes told me... I'm jumping rope to help children who are sick. I'm thrilled that Kajal is excited about doing something to help others. She asked me to share the link to her home page with everyone we could. If anyone reading this feels like participating, even a $1 can help her, help these children.
Here is Kajal's letter and link to the American Heart Association's Jump Rope for Heart Campaign:
I’m joining millions of other kids to help save lives with the American Heart Association’s Jump Rope For Heart Program! Will you help me?
I’m doing Jump Rope For Heart at my school and learning about kids with special hearts. I’m also learning about my own heart, and how to take care of it. And I’m getting active and jumping rope!
Some kids have special hearts – and need our help! I’m raising money to help kids like them. The money I raise will help pay for education and for new medicines and treatments to be discovered. It could help cure heart disease – for everybody!
You can help too! Will you make a donation? It’s fast and easy to do on my personal Web page! Just use the link below.
Thank you for helping me save lives and be a Heart Hero!

I've followed Kajal's journey on your blog for a long time - so even though you have no idea who I am I kind of feel that I know you a little.
We are waiting to find out who our own little Indian princess is, and following Kajal's progress is so therapeutic for me while I wait. I'm so impressed by Kajal's big heart, I made a small donation to her fundraiser.

Oh my goodness, how kind of you! Thank you.. your note really touched me, thank you, for sharing our lives and our daily stories. I hope that our life experience helps you prepare for your own little darling and if you ever want to reach out to me directly, let me know. I'd be happy to talk with you any time. Waiting is such a precious time. I remember the days when I was waiting to be matched to Kajal. Once I'd made the decision to adopt I used to go to sleep at night and pray for the child that was out there, in the world, waiting too. There's a song that was what I call 'our waiting song'. It's "somewhere out there" from an American Tale. We played it the other day and Kajal laughed, while I cried. The song still brings me to tears, because I remembered waiting.. and wishing, for her. I just have to share the lyrics to you...
Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Some ones thinking of me
And loving me tonight
Somewhere out there
Someones saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that big somewhere out there
And even though i know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams
Come true
And even though i know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the
Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be togethor
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams
Come true
We'll keep you in our prayers... hoping that you find your little one soon.
