Update: Fundraisers


So it's been a while (as you can see by the picture) since we've updated the site.

Jakari's 26 months old now. He weighs about 28 pounds and is 36" tall. He's a big guy and looking all grown up.

Since he's grown so much, he's outgrowing his stroller. Jakari has a stroller designed for special-needs; it's heavy duty, has special adjusters and is balanced so that we can (finally) put the vent and monitor underneath it without worrying about it tipping over.

The problem is, a new stroller will cost about $8,000. So in order to help pay for that, a couple of fundraisers are coming up.

First, a Krispy Kreme sale is going on right now. You know you love some Krispy Kreme! And it's for a super-great cause.

Second: on March 27, there's going to be a fundraising cookout: hotdogs, hamburgers and Polish sausage. (More details on this to come).

In other news, Jakari will be having another reconstructive heart surgery on March 15. He'll be in the hospital for a minimum of two weeks. All surgeries pose a risk; a heart surgery, on a child, even more so. Please keep all of us in your prayers as we get ready to face this challenge.

Thanks again for all your love and support.
