Colleen is the mom of 3 little kids, that were 6 mo, 1 and 3 years old when their mom was diagnosed with cancer.
They are now 7, 6 & 5 (thank you Kimi!), and they moved with their dad & mom to Seattle so Colleen can undergo treatment.
Being a mom, I can't even begin to imagine Collen's pain, and the pain her whole family is going through. Cancer sucks and I still can't understand why we haven't found a cure.
You can read her whole story here, and you can help by either donating money or participating/placing a bid in one of the auctions that her family has every week (here)
One of the things being auctioned this week is a signed copy of "Amigurumi Toy Box", and ALL the patterns availabe in my Etsy shop, so I really think you should go over and place a bid HERE!
You have time until Friday. Please please go over and help out, and keep their family in your thoughts!
Hug,
Ana
Thank you so much for the link Ana!
ReplyDeleteA small clarification -- Colleen's cancer was diagnosed when her kids were tiny, was treated and came back. Her kids are now 7, 6 and 5. In fact, her daughter is Oli's age. :)
I can't thank you enough for your help in this. *huge hugs from WA*
@Kimi
