Grace

There is a family that I knew growing up that had twin boys. These twin boys are both married now to 2 wonderful ladies. One of the twins has had 2 biological children that have both passed away due to 2 different diseases. The other twin has one healthy girl (born the same day as the other twins daughter) and another little girl who has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, which is what the other twins son died from. I know it's kinda confusing, but it is so heart wrenching and heart warming at the same time. These 2 families have gone through so much.

Grace had heart surgery at only a few days old and had to spend the first 90 days of her life in the hospital. After being home for only 4 months, she had to go back for some more heart surgeries and other countless procedures which kept her in the hospital another 2 months.

Well, now Gracie's family has the chance to get professional pictures done. This is a huge deal, as Gracie's non-existent immune system has prevented them from being able to go and get professional pics done. This would give them chance to finally have some nice family pictures.

So please go HERE and vote for Grace! You can use as many email addresses as you have, but only use each email address once. I used my 2, Thomas' and the my 4 older kids' who have theirs.

Thanks for reading and helping!!

Thank-you so much for blogging about this. It would mean so much to the family for them to be able to win this extraordinary gift, and I am going to try my hardest to see that they can get it. (Although, the only other person we would not feel bad about losing to is the lady dying of cancer!) Thanks so much!
