Ways to Help Pixy- Mods can you sticky this?

[velocitygrl]

Hi All,

I am an old Pestie, and a local CO Nestie. Now I usually post on the Pets Friends FB group. I will be posting this info there for people as well.  

A group of the local CO Nesties met today to try to organize ways to help Pixy0Stix. It was a great meeting, with lots of ideas of how to help.  We are trying hard to organize and be a help to her without our "help" being a problem for the family.  Please read to the end if you have questions they may be answered here. I will be checking in here periodically over the next few days, if you have questions I will try to get the answers. 
Thanks,
Velocitygrl
