Cure Kids Cancer! A way I would like to help and a way you could to.
Yes just as the title says, I would like to help in every possible way, So I came up with a plan.... Yes it is my Birthday today, but today I am not thinking of myself, I am thinking of the children, teens, young adults and adults going through treatments and life with Cancer. My grandma died of Cancer as so many have in the past, and yet today we see many out their still suffering.
I may not have much money, and my problems are considerably small compared to those who deal with cancer everyday of their life. Many have donated money to help the cause, and that I am grateful for. I also remember that sometimes a gift to a child or young adult can be just as helpful, So on my Birthday I have decided that I am going to start making blankets, and pillows handmade with fabric.
The materials are not as expensive as one would think, but for one person to make as many as I intend to make it can be a big expense. Our Kids castle here in Sioux falls houses many children with Cancer, and sometimes they don't see exactly what others donate to them in the sense of money, Some to young to even know where all the money to help them come from or that anyone at all is helping them. This is where the gifts of the blankets and pillows come in. They will remember and understand a gift such as this to comfort them in their greatest time of need.
I want to be able to be close to those children, I want them to know people out their may not know them but do care enough to show them they are thinking and loving them as well as praying for them.
I am going to start making these blankets and pillows with in the week, It cost about $15.00 dollars for enough material to make a pillow or blanket for one person. I can do this alone, however it will be a very slow and long process, with out help with funds or materials, I am not asking anyone who doesn't want to help for anything, and those who do feel they would like to help in this project may do so. By either sending materials to me, or donating money to my blog here. there is a donate button to the right of this page. I am not asking for $15.00 per person, I am only asking for what you can and feel comfortable in sending to help with this project, all money/materials collected will be funding the project fully 100%. If you would like to send materials please contact me and I will let you know where you can send them.
If you would like to make blankets and pillows, feel free to contact me to get the information you will need to send your gift to them yourself. I will also be posting pictures of the gifts that I make that you are helping with. There is no greater good that one can do then to give to a child, What I will get out of this is the greatest satisfaction in the world, to see the child have a smile, and love the gifts I bring them.... and what greater way to help my purpose then to give materials at the least....
I am going to be looking for children's patterns, Toy Story fabric, Princess fabric, Sports Fabric etc: Flowers, animal print, soft and cuddle fabric. I usually buy a yard and a half of to different fabrics, to sew together for the blanket. I then buy a yard of matching fabric to one of the two fabrics from the blanket to make the pillow.... I usually make a body pillow or a normal sized pillow for a bed. So these are just a few ideas for those of you who would like to help.
Remember if you don't want to donate to this project, start a project yourself and give the gift of love to a child or someone in need, the thought alone will mean the world to them, and they will remember it for a life time. Check your local Hospitals and other areas to see what you can do to help to.
THIS IS STRICTLY FOR DONATIONS TOWARDS CHILDREN'S CANCER! ANY HELP IS GREATLY NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.

Haven't written in a while but that is because a lot has happened since the last time.
Little man Angel got sick with RSV well I got it in return and was out for at least a month or so with it myself, I am still healing from it, though I am better from the RSV itself, I have sinus and allergies that reacted as well right after. That alone is enough to put you down again.
I just recently also took my eldest daughter to get her wisdom teeth taken out, actually this morning to be completely accurate with the day. She is doing fine, and the surgery went very well. She is on her way to mending quickly. Before all that went on though and after the I got the RSV virus, my youngest got it to, so I had to take care of her to. What a mess it was the last two months.
On a lighter note, I can not complain to much at all about the weather here, it was and is still very awesome... I am looking for spring, and summer to get here, I am pretty sure we are already well on your way to both lol.
Hope to write again with updates on everything, yes still working out the kinks on my website, it is up, it just needs the minor and more tougher details that will take me the longest to get done... Thanks once again for reading.... and till next time.
