      Wayne and I have found http://www.houstongroundangels.org and they are FABULOUS !

      It only cost a "THANK YOU" –  and they are precious people.    We used them the first time last trip and they were

      very lovely, kind and TIMELY people.   Oh for Joy, as they celebrated with us over our good news.   (and they don't wear perfume,

      colgone – big for us with the treatment and my chemical allergies)

      The lady who picked us up had family who has had Melanoma.  Her husband had had it…MOLE  – and his sister had died of it,

      so when we got the news, that Wayne was "NED" –  I called her.   I said, I know I'm not suppose to use your personal number but I had to tell you this in lieu

      of your family's history !   She was soooo grateful I did and so happy for us, and said she would look for us on the board for the next time

      we came to Houston to be our GROUND ANGEL.     She was a hoot and we laughed the entire trip……..crying laughing that is.  What

      great endorphins.   We really hit it off. 

      We were paying around $70-80 for a round trip to MDA from Houston Hobby by cab – shuttle will cost you that too, and they are soooo rough

      it will undo your spine.   Now it only cost a THANK YOU !    This amount really adds up when you know you will be going there once a

      month for the rest of your life !

      I hope and pray this blesses and helps someone.

          Thanks for the information.  Brent and I are  in Houston at MD. Anderson to see Dr. Falchook and have his treatment.  The cab ride is always around $35.00 and we would rather donate that amount or more to a good cause.  We will be flying out Tuesday and will give them a call today.  We all need to stick together on this journey and help each other whenever possible.
