Shelly Scheyder, a beloved and devoted second grade teacher at Little River Elementary and South Riding resident, is ill and has been unable to work since October. Despite undergoing a battery of tests ordered by several specialists, none of them has yet been able to diagnose her. Shelly has taught and lived in our community for almost 10 years, and along with her husband Mark, unselfishly devoted some time to missionary work while raising three wonderful children. Shelly and her family now need your help. We would like to raise funds to help defray the cost of her mounting medical bills and seek further diagnosis and possible treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. To help make the auction and dessert event a success, we need donations from local families and businesses.

Here’s how you can help:

- Pass this on to friends, neighbors, family, etc.

- Donate goods or services for the auction; email scheyderfamilyfund@yahoo.com with details about your donation including donor name, item description, and value.

- Want to help but don’t own a business? Create your own auction item. You can make dinner to be delivered to the highest bidder or donate a themed basket that your family or neighbors put together. Donate gift cards or gift certificates to lessons, such as knitting, dance, or tae kwon do; or to local restaurants, businesses, or shops.

- Donate a monetary gift the night of the event, to go directly to the family’s needs or donate to an account set up specifically for this purpose (scheyderfamilyfund@yahoo.com at PayPal.com).

- Donate items or towards items for the dessert event (desserts, napkins, plates, water, etc. (contact Colleen Borklund at cborklund@aol.com).
