(Edited to add the auction link to the cabin stay, which was the purpose for this post. Sheesh.)
We're still a tiny bit suspicious as to what happened to 'winter,' but that's okay. We're enjoying seeing colors again and are almost excited about mowing!
Almost.
Anyway, a 2-night getaway to Angel Mountain Cabin is one of the available items in a very special auction. Blankets for SMA (B4SMA) is a project started several years ago by MJ Purk and her super duper caregiver extraordinaire, Brenda Hanson. MJ was diagnosed with the same type of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) as our angel, Jeffrey, but she's never let SMA get in the way of helping others. MJ and Brenda send blankets and quilts to SMA families, providing both loving support and hope for the families that perhaps the prognosis for SMA, Type 1 (typically, death by two) isn't carved in stone after all.
A fellow SMA mom recently had a brilliant idea to organize an auction to help raise funds for shipping, supplies, and other expenses incurred by B4SMA.
The Hand In Hand Auction runs thru April. Some of the items, like the cabin stay, will be available for bidding all month. Others, like a 4-CD collection of my mother's original music, are available only thru April 15. Still more items, like a copy of The Jeffrey Journey (book) combined with Dreams for Jeffrey (CD of my mother's original lullabies) are available only from April 15-30.
Please feel free to share the info with others. Thanks!
Meanwhile, happy spring and mowing!
