A Mother's Day Gift of Music Saves Children

Help a Child and Make Mom Proud

Rissa Watkins
Offering a perfect Mother's Day gift, Operation Kids, country superstar Collin Raye and Time Life have teamed up to raise money for families with kids facing extraordinary medical expenses. For a $5 donation to Operation Kids you can receive a free MP3 download of Collin Raye's song "She's With Me" available until Mother's Day.

Can you imagine the horror of your child facing a medical crisis and not being able to afford the expensive medical treatment? You can help by making a $5 donation. Send Collin Raye's song, "She's With Me" to your mother as part of her Mother's Day Gift. She'll be proud that your Mother's Day gift helped a child and she'll enjoy Collin Raye's beautiful song.

Collin Raye wrote "She's With Me" as a tribute for his granddaughter Haley who suffers from a rare neurological disorder that remains undiagnosed. The song is about how Haley can't do anything for herself and comes and goes because she is with him. Then it talks about when he dies and is facing the Lord's doubt about letting him into Heaven, she will stand there and say, "It's okay, because he's with me."

I am a big fan of Collin Raye and have had the chance to meet him. As I mentioned in this article, Collin is a great guy with a heart of gold. Throughout his career, Collin Raye has supported several charities and in 2001 earned a Humanitarian of Year award from the Country Radio Seminar.

Collin Raye partnered with Operation Kids because of their tireless efforts on the behalf of children. Their administrative expenses are all paid through unrestricted donations and the proceeds from a managed investment fund, which means all of your contributions reach the child in need. By donating $5 or more along with getting your download of Collin Raye's "She's With Me", you will be helping kids and families to be able to get the treatment needed along with transportation and housing costs during long hospital stays.

Collin Raye's, "She's With Me" is included in his soon to be released album, Never Going Back. Why not make a donation to Operation Kids, send the download of "She's With Me" to you mom and then finish off her Mother's Day Gift with a copy of Collin Raye's new CD?

On April 20th, I asked readers to perform an act of kindness to honor my baby in this article. I was overwhelmed by the response. I am donating all proceeds from the page views of that article and this article directly to Operation Kids, in addition to my $5 donation to hear Collin Raye's song, "She's With Me." This is my Mother's Day Gift to myself.

For the price of a Mother's Day Card you can help save a child. Mother's Day is a day for a child to honor their mother. There isn't a better Mother's Day gift than one that helps children. Go to Operation Kids.Org and make your donation today.
