Lizzie

It is said that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish. 

I want to take this time to feature a very special little girl. Her name is Lizzie, she is 9 years old.

You see her little sister has to have her sugar levels checked in fear of diabetes. After hearing the news of a close friend who was diagnosed with Diabetes Lizzie decided she wants to help, raise money to find a cure.

 

For every dollar that is donated to Cranes 4 a Cure Lizzie will make a crane and put the name of the person who donated on the wing. Once she has collected $1000 she will string all the cranes together and give it to the Juvenile Diabetes foundation with all the money she has raised.

If you'd like to donate, please visit Cranes 4 a Cure or for more information you can email Lizzie's mommy, Jenny, at cranes4acure@gmail.com.

Please take a few minutes to watch Lizzie's Interview:

Helping Those In Need

With the holidays quickly approaching most of us are running around like mad trying to get our parties' planned, house decorated, and buying gifts for our loved ones. Let's stop for a moment and remember the people that are less fortunate. For thanksgiving I arranged a canned food drive at the office, it was a success and all of us felt great knowing we were helping those in need.

Burlington Coat Factory is taking coat donations. They will take coats, hats, scarves, & gloves. The items will be donated to a local charitable organization. So lets clean out our closets and head over to a store near you.

Is there something special you like to do to help those in need? Let us know!!!

Happy Holidays!

xoxo
