Yummies for Sensitive Tummies Website and Blog are meant to promote education regarding Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease, Irritable Bowl Syndrome, and lactose intolerance. About 5-7% of the global population (men, women and children) are affected by GERD. In the United States 6-14% of all children suffer from IBS; 8% of middle school students, 17% of high school students. Many of these people do not know or understand that a diet accompanies the medicines they receive from a docter. We provide recipes, life style suggestions, cookbooks, and cookbook samplers to these people.

Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world; while the media covers it, it still remains forgotten. Quite recently, Africa has obtained a lot of aid and media coverage for AIDS virus, Darfur, poverty, ect. Yet Afghanistan remains in a shadow, only shown on today's media for terrorism.
The children of Afghanistan suffer from not only a poor country, but one stuck in the center of a deadly war. They've grown up to the sound of gunshots and bombs, and to the feeling of fear. Many themselves have been caught in a bombing or shooting, and now suffer life damage.

As many little kids, I loved teddy bears. My favorite though, was my bee-bee bear. He was chocolate brown and had bown eyes. I loved him very much. Then my friends father died of cancer. I hadn't thoughtabout cancer to much but then it hit me, millions of people die from this. I want to take action and help this. For every teddy bear bought 90% of the fee wil go to sick kids hospitial, and the bear with it.

Hi we are Nicholas Marriam and Shelby McKnew. A few years ago we started collecting items to make gift bags for kids with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. We did this because when Nick was 6, he was one of those kids. He was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoma cancer. He was in the hospital a lot and had to grow up very fast and go through lots of scary things. He got Chemotherapy every week, spinal taps, shots, pills and was very sick! He was in the hospital so much he missed 2 years of school & was very lonely in there.
