Please meet Lauryn...
Isn't this little girl just precious? Let me introduce you....
Lauryn was diagnosed with Leukemia on March 27, 2014. She is currently hospitalized in the DC area undergoing chemotherapy to fight this terrible disease. Lauryn is Linda Payne's granddaughter...many of you in the stamping community probably already know sweet Linda!
As news of Lauryn's illness spread via social media, many of you have asked if there is anything you can do to help, so we have come up with a plan. We decided to have a Card Drive and would like to invite YOU to help by sending "happy mail" to Lauryn and her family.
Please create cards to share your love and encouragement for Lauryn and her family. Lauryn's parents are Josh and Elizabeth and she has two older siblings: Lily and Logan. We thank the Lord for this dear family and need to pray for them as they are seeking to glorify the Lord throughout this trial.
Kindly mail your cards to:
Children's National Medical Center
Hematology/Oncology - Room 437
Lauryn Newsome
111 Michigan Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20010
You can find updates on Lauryn via a Facebook page that has been set up by some family. It is Fight on Little Lauryn. They have shared how encouraging it is receive a simple "like" on a Facebook status or words of love and encouragement that is posted.
If you are hopping in order you will have arrived her from Mary Anne's Blog, Lakeside Stamping and your next stop will be over at Patti's Blog - Patti’s Paper Creations If you find yourself lost at ANY time or if ANY of the links are not working, please head back to Lauryn's blog, Lots of Love for Lauryn, and move to the next person on the list. A full list of all the participants is also included below.
You are welcome to send any type of "Happy" card, something that a sweet little two-year old might love! Lauryn has a special love of Princesses and Spiderman -- she's very cool! I am sharing a few of the cards I have created for her, and hope this may help to inspire you....
I also made a little wall hanging using one of the digi images that have been so generously
donated to this cause. This image was gifted to us by Claire Keay of JellyPark!
