Looking for a way to provide service this holiday season? Here is a great opportunity. Starting Thursday, December 10th, there will be a charity auction at BLOOM (www.placetobloom.blogspot.com) to benefit Claire and Benson Skinner. As explained by their parents, "Benson and Claire were born with a rare genetic disease in which their liver produces too much oxalate--called primary hyperoxaluria. Claire's condition has progressed much faster than Benson's. She has been on dialysis since she was 3 months old and is on dialysis 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. She is now on the waiting list to receive a combined kidney / liver transplant. It is expected Benson will eventually need similar transplants." You can read more about the Skinners' experience HERE. (givehopetobensonandclaire.blogspot.com) All proceeds from the auction at BLOOM will go directly to Claire's COTA (Children's Organ Transplant Association) account to help pay for her transplant. Please head over to BLOOM Thursday-Saturday for the auction!
So there you have it. If you can, blog it, tweet it, facebook it, whatever. There are over 80 fun items up for bid, too, so I hope you'll come check it out!
My friend Anne has this awesome little blog called Bloom and they are having an awesome little auction to benefit some awesome little kids. Check it out. There is too much darlingness to put into words.
