Help Save Jeté

Meet Jeté, the subject of today's Photo of the Day. It was taken by her owner and my good friend Andrea. Sadly, Jeté is sick. Very sick. With cancer.

Andrea moved from Redlands to Portland a few months ago and learned the bad news shortly after she got there: Jeté has vaccine-associated sarcoma. And the treatment is very costly. Thousands of dollars costly. You can read the saga of Jeté and how painful it's been for her and for Andrea on her blog, Crazy With a Side of Awesome Sauce.


If you're a cat lover like me and want to help, Andrea has a PayPal link on the blog where you can donate money for Jeté's treatment. She also has links to her Etsy shop, where she has handmade jewelry and accessories for sale, and to redbubble.com, where she has photos for sale (she is an amazing photographer, among her many talents). All the proceeds go to Jeté's treatment.

Here's one more way you can help: beginning today and until Jeté gets better, I will donate all of the proceeds from sales of photos or photo merchandise from my SmugMug gallery to Jeté's treatment fund. If you're looking for a gift for the holidays or something to decorate your home or office with, I hope you'll consider it. You can order prints, coffee cups, kitchen aprons -- just about anything you can imagine putting a photo on.

Jeté and Andrea will appreciate it. I will, too.
