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 direcly 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, there 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.

I would like to introduce you to our second cause, Maggie.
Maggie is 20 months old and was born with a terminal genetic disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type I. SMA is the #1 genetic killer of infants and young children. There is no treatment, there is no cure. SMA is degenerative, eventually hindering their ability to walk, stand, eat, speak, breath and even smile. The average lifespan of a child with the diagnosis ranges from 8 months - 2 years old, although each case has varying degrees of symptoms. Maggie's older brother, Jonas, was also born with the same disorder and passed away at 3 years old, leaving a legacy behind that inspires and influences every person that knows of him.

Maggie's parents have been proactive with her care and she has been able to take study medications that have seemed to slow the progression of the disease. However, Maggie has still lost a lot of her abilities since she was born. Even though Maggie can’t do what a normal 20 month old can, she still has such a happy demeanor and loves to play with anything she can.
We have been touched by the Coleman family's strength, faith and unconditional love and are honored that they will be the recipients of this round of "Covers for Cause".
Here is "Maggie's Cause" cover, which is available for sale. We have a limited number of them, so don't delay! The Coleman family will receive 100% of the profits generated from the sales of this cover.
You can purchase this cover by adding it to your cart using the "Girl Cover" drop down menu on the right.
