After the earthquake shoot the region of Haiti, I was talking to my little girls about what happened and how important it is to help others when they are in need. Their tender hearts were quickly stirred to do something to help. Their first suggestion was to pack up all their toys and mail them to Haiti (so sweet), but after we talked some more about what was really needed like food, water and medical supplies, they decided that best way they could help would be to give money to the people who can make the biggest difference. And so the brainstorming began, we talked about all sorts of different things we could do, but in the end they decided to invite their friends to a Will bowling event to help raise money. 17 kids bowled on Saturday (Peyton had to bowl from home due to illness) and raised a grand total of $1819.25 for the people of Haiti!! It was a very proud moment for us, mom's and dad's to watch our kid's coming together to help others!! Way to go kids!! A great big thank you to Melia, Nicole, Caleb, Ava, Grace, Jacob, Isaac, Benjamin, Madelene, Olivia, Samuel, Sabrina, Ryanne, Claire, Madison, Mackenze & Peyton!! and to all the generous folks who supported these kids efforts with a cash donation!
