Our fundraiser that we held on September 21st for Kaleb was a great success. We are so touched by all the people who came and showed their support on such short notice. We didn't even expect for there to be a lot of people, since we threw it together in about 3 weeks. To our surprise we were wrong. There was about 80 people that attended for our son and it was just AMAZING. We are so grateful and appreciative for all the people that came and donated to help out our family. It was a really nice time and seeing everyone just made our hearts melt. We are so touched by everyone's kindness and generosity, it's just an unbelievable feeling. Our family is very BLESSED to have so many thoughtful loved ones that care about us. We would not be able to do this alone if it wasn't for the support and love from our family, friends and even strangers.

Like Clarence the ANGEL said from IT's a Wonderful Life, " Remember George, no man is a failure who has friends." We would like to send a special THANK YOU to Izzy and Moe's for letting us host the event there and for their generous donations towards our raffle prizes.

There is a quote that I just love that reminds me of all the beautiful things we are witnessing.

"Every kind word or deed creates a ripple effect which spreads out further than you could ever imagine. Eventually the ripple will find it's way back to you but, by that point it's a waterfall."

Thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts. We are so BLESSED and so LOVED. We are incredibly LUCKY to have such a wonderful family and an amazing ABUNDANCE of LOVE from friends and strangers. Please view our photo gallery to view some of the pictures that were taken at the fundraiser event.
