A Favor and A Reward


I have a tiny little favor to ask of all you nice people.

Remember The Bald Buddies? Who could forget right?

There's a chance for you to join in The Bald Buddies, and you won't even have to shave your head!




Noah & Tate: Self Portrait

The hospital that is treating Tate is called the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. There is currently a voting contest going on and the top 3 hospitals that win receive a game room for the kids. Tate's hospital is currently in 4th...SO CLOSE! Tate and his family, along with so many others spend a lot of time away from home and within the walls of this hospital. Who couldn't use a game room?!? :)

Plus, every time you vote your email in entered into a contest to win an XBox 360. Bonus.

The contest is in the final days so there's no time to waste. Click here to vote for the University of Iowa Children's Hospital.

Yesterday Tate and his family found out that the results of his latest MRI showed a decrease in the masses that they are treating, which means the Chemo plan is working and they'll stay the course. Praise God!! Praying healing for this sweet little guy's body, and peace and strength for him and his family.

Tate's mom, who is also a good friend of mine, has this quote on her facebook.

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift.

How true. How easily I forget that.

If you happen to go vote, please leave me a comment letting me know you did (honor system here) and your name will be entered for a $5 Starbucks card! Yeah baby.

Is that bribing?!? Of course not! It's encouraging.

Now go vote.

    Sarah-
    I voted 10 times today too! Of course that hospital is so precious to us because of Oakley and the fact that we are down here in the midst of it with Garen filtered into the hospital on a daily basis, and Oak has spent time inpatient playing in their current play rooms/game rooms. Experiencing a gift like this in the hospital as the patient is so special! Tate has been in my prayers and if they ever need a contact down here or need an errand run because of inpatient stuff please get a hold of me. I would be more than willing to help them. What a great post! Garen and I saw what Noah and what the bald buddies did and we both had tears.
