Social Media bombed!! in 2015
Social Media, great for those who know how to fundraise AND use social media, but not so great for our fundraiser this year! Not sure how many contributors we reached, as many of our faithful contributors didn't even realize we were fundraising (sorry, mom is still figuring out social media outlets)- but we are learning more about how to get the word out there for 2016. And even though our fundraising fell flat this year- yes, flat- only $1,775, we greatly appreciate those to supported us yet again.
Payton's health and our year have been great! Payton still has a moderate leak in her mitral valve, but that isn't stopping her! She and Samantha are loving life! We have found a new church with a wonderful youth group, the girls are planning big things for this summer and Payton just celebrated 1 year of being pain free!! It's hard to believe that this time last year was such a difficult time in our lives! So- get ready, we WILL be back in action in 2016 and we are looking forward to surprising the kids at Mary Bridge with more crafts, more toys and more everything!!

Using Social Media for GOOD - 2015
Hello world! We are finally expanding our horizons with our fundraising and opening the doors to social media! So look out children of Mary Bridge- the cyber world is going to flood the art room with supplies, the Tree House with furnishings, the patient rooms with the latest and greatest and anything thing else you may need while you are in the hospital! That's right, we started as 2 sisters fundraising for the hospital and the doctor who saved Payton (the oldest of the sisters) and now it has spread to all of you! Each year many of you support us without fail, but this year we are reaching for new contributors to join us! We are praying that God will take our fundraising to the next level- CYPERSPACE!!! Let's use social media for good- no more negative talk, no more negative videos, no more bullying- let's focus on kids who need a little extra love and attention and who are very appreciative of the support! Click on our link to make a donation to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma, Washington! Every penny counts, so- please do not think your donation is too small!!
