It is amazing how the huge “world wide web” quickly becomes a small and close knit family. My dear friend Abby at The Third Grade Bookworm has put together a wonderfully compassionate fundraiser.
Sadly, one of her sweet students passed away after a fight with childhood leukemia. It is a fight that I pray I never have to witness. Abby and Aileen, another teacher and friend, have kept in close contact with the family.
When learning that the family did not have the funds to purchase a headstone for Ruby, Abby leaped into action. She created a fundraiser to help the family create a complete and final resting place.
With the help of several other bloggers, Abby has put together a FANTASTIC pack with products from many, many sellers that is worth just under $130 for only a $20 donation. If you are interested in supporting Abby and Ruby’s family, please click here for more information. The fundraiser ends in two days- April 24th, so please make sure to check it out quickly!
Here is a look at some of the wonderful products (taken directly from Abby’s blog) you will receive with your $20 donation:
