3 more in 33. I share two more stories today of the three. These are nominations from MckMama community. This is from Jessie. She says “I saw you linked from MckMama's Facebook. Thank you for what you're doing for these families! The family I think would truly appreciate a book is the family of Jonah. You can read about their story at his mom Patrice's blog. I've known Patrice since I was a teenager from Bible camp. Patrice and Matt's first son, Gabe, was stillborn, and their almost-one-year-old, Jonah, has a very rare skin disease, Epidermolysis Bullosa. Basasically, if anything causes friction on his skin, his skin blisters and comes off. As of right now, there is no cure. Patrice stays home to care for Jonah 100%, and is the most selfless mom I know. A book like this would mean so much to the Williams family. Please consider giving one to them.
Laura Bower, Executive Director & Child Passenger Safety Technician, nominated Kyle David Miller’s family. Kyle was born March 13, 2002 and from the moment he was born he filled our lives with such joy and sense of completion. His big sister Katie was so happy to have a little brother, she had been talking about him for months before he was born, Kyle was a blessing, perfect in every way. In 2005, Kyle was killed in a car accident. He had had his seat belt on, but a 5-point harness secured and tethered to the car is the safest way to keep your child in a car until they are 80 pounds. Please visit the Kyle David Miller Foundation and help put a child into a safe car seat - thank you! If you want to buy a 5-point harness, please visit http://www.hipmonkey.com - all proceeds go to the foundation!
Thank you to the families for sharing your heartfelt and touching stories. Love, Michelle
