Hello Foxy Friends!
This is one of my most important posts ever.
Aloha Wreath Auction – Help For Baby Natalie
My dear, dear friend Laura who blogs at Our Prairie Home welcomed her very first grandchild, a new baby girl Natalie recently. The pictures say it all… look at the love shinning from this grand mommies face!
Unfortunately, at a little over 3 weeks old, Natalie has fallen gravely ill.
Natalie has been in the hospital since the 17th of June and is suffering from multiple medical issues, including Bacterial Pneumonia and Staff infection.
The poor little bug now looks like this…
and Natalie’s mom Savannah has to dress like this, just to be with her.
We all know how harsh reality is… and the harsh realty of bills and the need for money, even when it’s the last thing you need to be thinking about it, is unkind. If you’ve ever had any medical drama, you know just what I speak of.
In an effort to help in the smallest way.. I am offering the Aloha Wreath I recently made up for auction.
I’ll be sending the proceeds from this auction, as well as a personal donation to Savannah’s family.
Laura’s daughter Savannah and her husband Coty need our help. It’s as simple as that.
No one should experience going from this..
to this…
All prayers.. and any other help you can offer will be accepted with gratitude.
You can find updated information on little Natalie’s condition at Prayers For Natalie.
This Aloha wreath will bring some Summer fun to your front door, home, pool or vacation house all while helping out a special family in time of crisis.
So it’s a win-win! Come on Foxy Friends and Show Me How Big Your Hearts Really Are. With Love and Thanks!! Shannon
