There are many fundraisers in Second Life that collect
donations for Relay for Life and other illnesses and diseases. Throughout the years residents of Second Life
have shown massive amounts of support and donated their time and money to help
others around the world.
Sherlynn Donner’s story will pull at your
heartstrings. Often we do not hear the
individual stories of those that lost their battle with breast cancer but they
all include leaving behind family and loved ones who continue to suffer their
lose. What happens to the surviving children of Breast Cancer?
Many times their lives are dramatically changed and they
are raised by one parent or family members. Some even go into foster care
because there is no one else who can care for them. If we can do something to ease the pain and
make a difference in the lives of these children, we should.
Here is Sherlynn
Donner’s story:
Sherlynn Donner lost her fight with breast
cancer this morning and we lost an angel : (
Sherlynn was Ms. October 2008 and became a
photographer for Playmates Magazine and Boy Toy in 2009. Because of her
generosity, Playmates stayed open during a very rough time, so we all have her
to thank that Playmates is still in publication. She was one of my best friends
in SL. She had a wild sense of humor and a heart of gold.
Sherlynn was a single mother of 3. Her
ex-husband left her and moved back to his home country and she never heard from
him again and never had financial support for her kids.
Now they are left without a mother. They are
17, 15 and 12. She spent the last month of her life in a hospice and we
spoke on the phone just 2 weeks ago. Her biggest concern was leaving her
kids behind without any money. Sherlynn was an only child and both her
parents have passed away. Her last wish was for her kids to remain in
their home with the oldest raising the 2 younger ones.
PLEASE Donate. Even if it's $20L.
It is something. These kids need our help. All donations will be
sent to Sherlynn's oldest daughter. Thank you for your help!

Thank you for your kindness. I am amazed at how everyone has pulled together for this family. Sherlynn was wonderful and generous woman and she loved Second Life and all her friends. I feel that she is looking down on us, smiling and thanking everyone involved. I have been brought to tears many times by the generosity of the SL community. I can never thank you all enough.
