We would like to introduce you to a very special campaign, Covers for Cause, designed to benefit special young boys and girls that need our help. We've all done it; jumped from blog to blog and stumbled upon a family that is going through a great trial and inspires us with their strength and positivity. A family that has endured more than their share of hardships, that pours their hearts out to us silent readers in an effort to overcome their emotions, mend their heavy hearts and draw stength to move forward with faith. These families have had a profound impact on us and we have been CHANGED by their stories. I can't even tell you how many nights we've spent reading their stories and wept for hours internalizing their struggles and feeling moved to make a difference in their lives. We're hoping to use Covers for Cause as our gateway to benefit those deserving families.
Every time we produce a new product line for Sew Tiny Baby, we will select one child {cause} that will directly benefit from the proceeds of a select cover. Not just any cover though...but a cover that we have personally designed with the child's very own parent/loved one. We will only have a set amount of the covers and once they sell out, they're out! The proceeds given to the family will be used specifically for the child's medical expenses. Have a child you would like us to select for the next cause?? Email us at sewtinybaby@gmail.com.
Now I'd like to introduce you to our first cause, Cole.
Cole is 2 years old and was diagnosed with a severe brain disorder called "Epileptic Encphalothopy" when he was 10 months old. Prior to his diagnosis, Cole was a perfectly healthy little boy that had no evidence of seizures or complications whatsoever. He now has hundreds of seizures a day (absent, drop and infantile spasms) and has regressed developmentally. Medications have failed at treating Cole's sezuires and he was supposed to have brain surgery last week to remove his left temporal and occipital lobes. The day before surgery 50 doctors assessed Cole and determined that surgery was too risky because they discovered a malformation on his right side as well (and they can't do surgery on both sides of the brain). Now Cole will try a brand new medication, Vigabatrin, to try to control the seizures so they can properly determine where to operate in his brain. Cole will be having brain surgery in August at the Clevland Clinic in Ohio. Cole's parents are pillars of strength and have been through so much with Cole's epilepsy. They both work full-time and have sacrificed so much to provide Cole with the best medical care for his needs. To find out more about Cole, you can read their blog here: http://beatingepilepsy.blogspot.com/.
Help us help Cole!!
Cole's mom helped us design this awesome cover for "Cole's Cause". Cole is a hip, steezy, and fun-loving little boy and this cover reminds us of him. Black and white covers are so popular and the chevron stripes just dial up the style factor. Hopefully these will sell out fast, so buy yours today!
Special thanks to our vendors who gave us materials at cost! Specifically, Jennifers Jewels who donated Cole's labels! |
