Join us for a
SPECIAL TWITTER EVENT IN SUPPORT OF @Military_Mom
Thursday, December 17, from 9 - 10pm EST
As some of you may know, one of our dearest friends Shellie Ross lost her beautiful 2 year old son Bryson to a tragic pool accident.
Although the outpouring of support has been heartwarming, a few people chose to attack Shellie in the cruelest of ways by questioning her honesty and fitness to be a mom at the worst possible time of her life.
As Shellie was leaning on Twitter for support and prayer, some chose to cyberbully her. We cannot stand for that! Those thoughts are now out there permanently, for her family and the world to see, and this cannot be the most lasting impact of our community.
Join us Thursday night to help Shelly pay for the custom wood box she's ordered for Bryson's ashes. The Online Mom is donating the first $100 to this cause.
Time: 9-10pm Date: Thursday Dec 17 Use: #Bryson
Donation information is below:
THANK YOU for all your contributions so far. Our goal is $1200 for funeral expenses and we’re very close. You can continue to donate. Thanks to your generosity... This

(This Twitter event replaced our weekly chat. Join us for our next Twitter party on Tuesday December 22nd at 9pm. Our giveaway will be a Sony E-Reader. See you then!)
