Good News!

Thanks to all of you who participated in the mini-sessions to benefit the American Caner Society's Relay For Life I was able to donate $500.50 to Team Trevor, exceeding my fundraising goal by $.50! Yay! At 70% of its total fundraising goal, the team overall is still a bit short. The Relay For Life is this weekend. If any of you feel so inclined, please follow the link above to donate. Thank you again!

"There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world."

I am a member of an organization called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, which provides bereavement photography for babies born still or who are not expected to live. It was founded by Cheryl Haggard, a mother who lost her new son, and Sandy Puc', the photographer whom the Haggards called to photograph their family before their sweet baby passed away. This non-profit organization provides families with photographs of their precious baby.
From the NILMDTS site:
"The Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation is there for parents and families to help aid them in their healing, bring hope to their future, and honor to their child. It is through remembrance that a family can truly begin to heal."
