Hi everyone!! As most of you know, I am officially a college student!! I am so excited to start this new chapter of my life! I have decided to attend Collin College and pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I will be starting in a couple of weeks.
However, before I get started, I wanted to send an update to our fundraiser. This summer, I have spent a lot of time thinking about the fundraiser and about all the children that seek medical attention at Mary Bridge. When I receive a newsletter from the hospital and read through it, I am amazed with the medical advancements they are making, the children they are now able to treat and the generosity of the donors. I know the hospital is doing great things!
This is why my decision to no longer hold an annual fundraisers is so difficult. I have decided to focus on my studies and my health therefore I am not sure I would be able to give the fundraiser my full attention. As you know, I have struggled the last few years- with my health and with the fundraiser. And even though I would love to pass the torch to Samantha, since this was something we always did together, she has agreed with our new way of “giving little hearts a start!”

New Request!So our new request!! (You had to know it was coming!!)
Though we will not be actively fundraising, we would love for our contributors to continue supporting Mary Bridge. Many of you have donated without us even asking the last couple of years! Any time you see a sick child, any time you drive by a hospital, any time you go to the doctor- I would like for you to remember how Mary Bridge helped my family, how Dr. Hall saved my life and how the hospital continues to help so many. |
Take Action!Now, we would like for you to consider sending a donation to Mary Bridge or to any organization you feel is worthy of your contribution. Then we would like you to send us a snap chat, write on the website comments or however you get in touch with us and let us know that you are supporting other children like me!

Share!It is truly inspiring for us to hear when others donate their time and/or money to help someone they may not even know! Thank you for always supporting us! Whether it was through a monetary donation, a meal for our family, a note or just a hug when you see us- I honestly would not be where I am today without each of your support! Please keep us in your prayers and know you are always welcome to come for a visit!
