If you would like to help support this site's efforts, or just give some moral support, there are a few things which you can do.

1) If you know anyone who likes guinea pigs/cavies, visit my guinea pig themed store (I receive a small portion of sales).

2) Support FAST by purchasing the Food Allergy Survivors Together Handbook. If you purchase it directly from the publisher, it is more helpful.

Be sure to tell mail order stores, allergists, and health food shops about this book, which they can purchase at discount (wholesale) from the publisher. Also, purchase copies for friends who you think just "don't get it," as this book is not a recipe book, but a lifestyle guide.

3) Need some allergy warning tees, etc. for yourself or your child?

More things may be coming soon; if you want more, drop me an e-mail.

4) Send supportive e-mails to people who post to the mailing list and sound discouraged.

5) Tell your friends, allergists, health food stores, and relatives with food allergies about the site.

6) Volunteer. Is there something you're good at? Drop me an e-mail http://www.angelfire.com/mi/FAST/inputform.html and let me know what you'd like to do! Right now there is a need for a volunteer on the mailing list--someone who will e-mail people and help them turn off MIME and/or figure out how to not quote a past post.

7) Have an idea for a section of the site? Send it in! http://www.angelfire.com/mi/FAST/inputform.html Please note that medical information is not included on FAST, but suggestions for lifestyle information are! You can also submit recipes you have made up, and more.

8) Be sure to say "thank you" to the volunteer moderators who help with the mailing list.

9) Help me spot errors or dead links on the site. E-mail me with any discoveries. http://www.angelfire.com/mi/FAST/inputform.html

10) Pray for the site and the people who visit--that the site will be helpful to people who so desperately need to find others who share in their situation. "Just wanted to let you know and I hope you'll pass it on -- I am praying for your site. I will pray that God will use it to counsel many, and most of all, that many will come to know His name and that His name will be glorified" (Tina).

Every little bit can add up!
