Thank you - you fabulous people, you!!

My apologies for the delay in posting this. Things have been crazy and I had a little 'technical difficulty'. Those of you who know me, aren't surprised. This is a quick update on the fundraiser.

HOLY COW!!! Our original goal for Gavin was $1700, in order to receive the $5,280 grant. As of today, you have donated over $5200 to Gavin and Miles for Special Smiles. We have been so overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of so many. Any money over our original goal amount goes into the Miles for Special Smiles general fund. A kind of 'paying it forward' to other kids like Gavin.

This process has been so humbling. First, in needing to ask for money and then, oddly enough, even more humbling in the receiving. Brad & I have spent this past week in stunned disbelief as we witness countless acts of thoughtfulness and genersosity. Knowing that so many need so much in these tough times, we're just overwhelmed by the idea that you all chose to share with Gavin. Wow! (insert emotional tears here)

May God bless you and yours,
Gavin's Mama

Look Mama, Gavin's an Easter Egg!
