Book Drive!

I have joined forces with A Princess with a Purpose who is stuffing  Make-A-Wish Back Packs for wish kids ("wishpacks"). Our goal is to raise $500 which will allow us to purchase $750 in Usborne Books.  Can you help us reach that goal?  DONATE HERE

Why are the Wishpacks and Princess with a Purpose important to me?  

You may be wondering why I have chosen to work with Princess with a Purpose and their goal of filling Make-A-Wish back packs.  You have the right to know. 

Childhood cancer has touched our family.  My husband’s cousin has little girl that was diagnosed with a Plexiform Fibrohistiocytic tumor in 2012, but even before this we felt strongly that Childhood Cancer was tragic and not given the awareness of adult cancers.  No one should ever have to deal with this dreaded and horrible disease, but least of all the youngest and most innocent among us.  It has been our family’s cause (if you will) for nearly ten years.  We have participated in motorcycle rallies for childhood cancer awareness, donated to Mary Bridge, St. Judes, Seattle Children’s, and Princess with a Purpose.  

In 2011 we met Dryden and her family and learned that little Dryden, so close to my own daughters age, was diagnosed with  ALL Leukemia and our hearts were saddened.  Such a sweet little girl fighting (and winning) the big C word.  As her battle was wagged and as she fought bravely to kick cancer to the curb she expressed a desire and formulated a plan to help other children be able to smile.  Thus A Princess with a Purpose was formed.  Since then this family, a real family that I know and who lives very modestly, has striven and sacrificed so that other children might have some moments of joy.

I wish to help them fill their Make-A-Wish Alaska/Washington backpacks  in June with exceptional books.  These children deserve to have exceptional books to read and enjoy in their wishpacks and with Usborne’s 50% matching program we can spread joy and literature to the Wish Kids in our region.  Can you help me help fill this wish?  We can provide 70+ books to children when we achieve our goal.  All its takes is $25 from 20 families.  Can you help us?

Thank you!
