Why donate to Starlight Children's Foundation? - Julie Grills
Random Bits of Quality...
1999-??-??


Good day Lissy!

Well where to start..  With my good fortune I know 4 people who live 
near me who subscribe to listessa. I actually met one through Lissy. 
Since then I have became friends with these people and very close to one 
of them. *waves to Marci* I had the pleasure of hanging out with the 
other two this past weekend. One thing that I have came to notice with 
all die hard sp fans I have met over my time is that we all have this 
odd bond. Normally  through fans I have met we all love the pumpkins for 
very different reasons but it normally leads back to one thing... the 
bond we have with the music. The way it describes us. Well I am not sure 
if some of the sp fans I know know this but I am what they call a 
miracle child. I was supposed to die the day I was born. They told my 
father to name me before I died so I would not die without a name. So I 
got stuck with Julie. Being born 4 months premature we had to go through 
hell and back to keep me alive.I had a heart monitor and an iv in my 
head for the first six months of my life. Through feeding me with tubes 
I have scars all over my body. Without the help of my mother who worked 
with children like the ones in the starlight foundation I would be dead. 
I am not supposed to be able to walk, talk or function for myself. But 
for some reason I do. It costs a lot of money to keep a child like 
myself alive... My parents had over a million dollars in doctor bills 
alone. This is just for one kid! So I think we should all get off of our 
buts and try to help these kids out. They need us. My friend Marci and I 
are going to try to raise money by playing our guitars at coffee houses 
for this needy cause. We all have so much to thank The Smashing Pumpkins 
for. I am sure about half maybe more ( including myself ) would have 
been long gone if not for the words of wisdom from them. I know some of 
you don't have much money to get by. ( I know I don't) but even with 
this I have found a way to raise some money. I found out Another one of 
my friends ( the second in a year) has cancer. I mean it is making me 
think " who is next?" so I am going to give up smoking because I know 
cancer runs in my family and I don't want to be next in line for this 
sad disease. So the money I would of spent on cigarettes I can put 
towards this. I mean the money will be going to save a life rather then 
killing one. As with this Jimmy thing... ( I know it has been beaten to 
death with the ugly stick) well I personally don't agree with it, but I 
have considered some things. Well first I have seen many many many 
people kick numerous drug addictions and they gain weight just like he 
did. Further more I don't think they would of taken him back if D'Arcy 
was going to leave. So maybe we shouldn't worry until the next 
single/album/sound track song comes out.... Why rip the hair out of your 
head for something that may not be so bad? Well I must get off to school 
now. I hope my meaningless blabber helped someone.

 send a heart to all my dearies...

P.S much love sent out to my life long dearie Charmaine
without sp we would never be here.
