Miracles for Mallory Charity Auction

I just had to share with you this story and wonderful group of artist who are working to help bring a awareness and help for those families in need.
Image Hosting by PictureTrail.com

All this info is straight from there website and blog....

Where will the funds go from the auction??
The funds will be going to a foundation my father established called Memories for Mallory and it will be working with Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas to distribute funds to afflicted with Trisomy 18 without insurance. We also want to establish a park bench at a local playground in Mallory's name as well. And in the future, since this is "seed" money for the foundation, we are hoping to donate a room where children can stay and play while their mothers are going through labor at that hospital. Our family thinks the sky is the limit with this, we hope to make it bigger each year. And with each growing year we hope to provide more funding to people accross the US aflicted with this devistating disease. After all isn't that how the Susan G. Koman foundation started and other wonderful organizations? That's our ultimate goal. As a family, we wanted to start by helping the hospital which gave Mallory such wonderful care and showed so much love during our darkest hour, then we want to spread out to others accoss our country.


Thank you all again for your support, your prayers, and your gracious talents to help us. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me at:
miraclesformallory@yahoo.com


The auction to promote Trisomy 18 began at midnight last night! We are so blessed to have so many wonderful donations from many talented artists and crafters, whom have donated their time so graciously for our cause.
