Blanket Project...

I am so proud of my girls... I talk about my CLUB girls (Sunday morning children's church) quite often. My group of 12-15 4th and 5th graders are SO on fire to be a blessing to someone less fortunate than them. They prayed for Julian, they are planning an Alex's Lemonade stand for this summer, they made and delivered 30+ blankets to the Children's Home of Reading and they continue to be inspired by those who need to feel God's love. In the midst of all of my fundraising ideas for PEDIATRIC CANCER, one of my girls won a local contest. The contest was called PAY IT FORWARD! The local paper would award $1000 to anyone who could come up with the best idea of how to GIVE BACK with the money. My dear girls want to use the money make those same fleece knotted blankets for a PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY floor. They are an amazing group of girls from all different backgrounds, all different family make-ups but they each have GOD'S HEART! They are nervous about what they will see. They are concerned with what they should say/not say. So, I am trying to plan a WEBCAM event with a few of my favorite "celebrities" - who better to "train" them. I couldn't be more proud of the young ladies they are becoming!
