RONNIE MCNEIR OF THE FOUR TOPS

MAC'S NEIGHBORHOOD

Hey,

Ronnie Mac here. Thought it was time I stepped in and said hello. Also, give you an official and personal welcome to Mac's Neighborhood. Thanks for the love and support.                                

 

 

Many of you may know that I am not a very computer literate person. I'm told it's a lot easier to figure out than my synthesizer but I'm not totally convinced. Anyway, when I decided to go with the idea of a website, I didn't have any idea what it would involve. I'm very fortunate Ms. M stepped in to help me out. She has created what I feel is a warm, inviting and unpretentious environment. Yes, I said unpretentious, I can use million dollar words every now and then.   

 

 Although I am extremely pleased with the construction and ever changing scenery "Down In The Neighborhood", I found myself  thinking there was something missing. Then one day it hit me, and I  said to myself, self, where are all the ladies of Ronnie Mac's Neighborhood?  I mentioned this to Ms. M and in typical can do fashion she set out to invite what has turned out to be some of the most beautiful and talented ladies this side of the internet.

 

 I am eternally grateful for all of Ms. M's hard work. I'm sure you will agree with me when I say she has done an outstanding job, but I am especially pleased with my new neighbors. So without further ado, I'd like to introduce…

I'd like to welcome the newest diva to Mac's Neighborhood, Ms. Brandi Moder. Brandi is a beautiful and bright 16 year old with three debilitating degenerative disk diseases and Type I diabetes. She wears Fentenyl patches (synthetic opium) 24 hours a day and sometimes that is not enough to ease the pain she has experienced since the age of 10.

 

There has never been a documented case of a child suffering from the conditions that Brandi has and as a result trying to get help, support or people to understand the severity of her situation is a constant and daily up hill battle.Yet, Brandi perseveres.

Although sometimes difficult, she continues to smile, blow kisses and offer kind words to whoever she meets. She is a true inspiration with a new found love for classic soul and it's artist.

 

I am honored to profile Diva Brandi so please, help me welcome her to Mac's Neighborhood by logging on to www.bucks4brandi.com to read more about this remarkable young lady and how you can help.
