Joy to Share Campaign with Kinder Surprise!

Regular readers to my blog will know that we went through quite the ordeal with Faith at the beginning of her life.  We spent the first 2 months in the hospital with her, and still continue, 4 years later, to visit the childrens hospital on a regular basis.

Being involved with the hospital and remembering the support we received while we were there, I am excited to announce that Kinder has teamed up with the Children's Miracle Network, with their Joy to Share campaign.  

With Easter just 2 short weeks away (when did that happen??), I know that we will be celebrating with chocolate, bunnies, candies, treats and fun.  We are fortunate that we don't have to be in the hospital, like some families will be at this time of year.  So, while we are all watching our kids faces light up on Easter morning, take time to think of those families with sick children, make a donation to the Children's Miracle Network, help bring some joy to those who are facing life changing illnesses and challenges.

You can find out more about the Joy to Share campaign by clicking over to the Kinder Canada "A Joy to Share" page and go to the donation link.  You can also click over to the Miracle Kids page and read some inspiring stories of how these families make it through the tough situations that come up in their lives. 

If you have a story to share, feel free to share it on the Facebook page.  How are you celebrating Easter?  Do you have a childrens hospital experience?  Feel free to share here too:-)

Mars Gift Basket for Ronald McDonald House Hamilton!

#CBias chose me to be one of the lucky ones to prepare a donation for a charity of my choice...and of course, I chose the Ronald McDonald House in Hamilton.  They are an organization that has put so much into my family and I love that we had an opportunity to give back!!

My Kids are Going to Reach the World This Summer!!

The time is nearing for these 2 amazing missions trips to take place.

Keri's trip to Peru is from July 9-July23

Devin's trip to Romania is from July 16-July 30

Keri (13 years old) has earned about half of her trip so far but still has a ways to go ($1500 more). Thanks to all who have supported her efforts so far. If you would like to support her in this endeavour, you can make a tax deductible donation here:

She is a Global Expeditions Missionary

Name: Keri Patton

ID #: 2631416

Devin (15 years old) has earned most of the money for his trip already. He has worked hard at his job and has saved almost all of his pays to be able to afford this trip on his own. He would like to have some extra money to be an extra blessing to the kids and families he will meet along the way. You can make a tax deductible donation through New Song Church, contact me for more information (we have a paypal account set up, or can find another way to do it).

We are so proud of our kids and the compassion and desire to help others that they have in their hearts. Please help us make this a reality for them!!

Thanks in advance for your help:-)

A Proud Mom!!
