ABOVE THE CLOUDS

My Name is Donna and this is a video I put together for my daughter who has struggled through a chronic illness...I set it to me singing the song "Above The Clouds" originally recorded by Cyndi Lauper. It was important that I sing this myself..please excuse a few bum notes :) MY daughter has endured Chemo therapy, loosing all her hair.. many hospitalizations..and at times over 20 different medications multiple times a day, to try and maintain her health to be fit for a transplant. She has the heart of a lion and has taught myself and others the true meaning of courage. In July of this year she recieved a kidney from her father.. I hope to make others aware of the great need for organ donation.I'd also like to put in a plug for
Hip Hats who took my brother in laws donated hair and made Rach a hair piece when she lost her hair. "Give The Gift Of Life"

Thank you so much Gilbert for taking the time to view the video. Rach was one of the fortunate ones..So many children we left waiting in the dialysis room. God Bless you and yours!

I am a huge Cyndi Lauper fan and I was a bit skeptical when I decided to watch this video but WOW! Beautiful rendition! You have an amazing voice and you were able to give a unique soul into the song... Very soulful! And this is further bolstered by the rationale behind this song. Beautiful... and I wish you and your daughter a beautiful sojourn in life. :) Hugs.

I just love that this song and singer reach so deep to express such strong emotions. I really get choked up. Both of you are inspirations always.

I was searching this song to see if there was a copy of Cyndi Lauper singing it live, when I found yours. At first I thought, "What the???" But I'm glad to say it was amazing. So pure and heartfelt.

My step dad died 10 years ago. He had received a heart transplant, but it only worked a few months. I met so many people in the hospital awaiting a new organ.

We are truely blessed by organ donations.

Thank you. I join the many others moved to tears by this video (but that's a gift too!)
