Money Well Spent

We only have 30 days left to raise $985 which would complete our goal of $1500 to put towards buying Huntsville Hospital NICU more Giraffe Omnibeds (which is what Tori was in when she was born).

We aren't asking for you to give a whole lot, although we are SO thankful that people have been able to give above and beyond the $10 minimum we are asking for. If we had 98 people (which we know at least 98 more people) that would give $10, we would make our goal.

I want to emphasize that this is not a competition for us. We realize what an important thing this fundraiser is, and have seen first hand how important it is to have these beds available when you need one.

You never imagine that YOUR child, grandchild, niece, nephew or even friend will need equipment like this. We sure didn't. But now we're more aware and more grateful for things like this fundraiser that are in place that may help YOU or someone you know one day.

This is also an awesome way for us to do an honorable and memorable thing in Tori's name. This is one of the best ways that I can think of to honor her life, and that is to help another baby just like her that may need this in the future.

Tori was 1 pound 9 ounces when she was born, and so was Melissa George. They both were too small to keep up their own body temperature themselves, as well as other babies just like them that are born everyday. Equipment like these very important beds are what we can do to help all of these babies who so rightfully deserve a chance at life.

Visit the site below to donate your $10 today. Time is running out!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
