Tutu for you, tutu for her!
Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 10:27AM Yesterday, I read the sweetest story of love; true love really. It seems that the only heart that can compare with a parent's heart is that of an Auntie. OK, that comes at no surprise to me, seeing as one of my kids' Aunties is Heather. But unless you are a robot, this story will make you shed a tear or twenty!
Boutique owner Janay’s two young nieces were diagnosed with Leukemia as pre-schoolers. She watched as they underwent treatment to battle the cancer. Bald, bloated, and not feeling herself, one day one of the girls told her she did not feel pretty anymore. Janay’s heart broke. As any Auntie would, Janay wanted to do what she could to cheer her niece, encourage her, and make her feel pretty again. She began making tutus for the girls to wear around the house and even over their hospital gowns when they were hospitalized. What a difference a little tulle can make! The girls enjoyed dressing like princesses as they continued their fight against cancer.
Wanting to lift the spirits of other young patients undergoing treatment for an illness or injury, Janay continues to make tutus and donate them to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital and Health Center. And right now, for every tutu purchased, another tutu will be donated to a Mary Bridge patient!
You can email her for more information at sugarskullsandcupcake@live.com, or you can befriend her on Facebook to see her tutus and place an order for each of the princesses in your life.
