Pay It Forward

We have been inspired so much the last few months reading the trials of the sweet Sullenger family. There sweet child was taken too soon, and the inspiring part is how graceful her amazing parents are moving forward.

They are calling out for help now, and there is something we can do! They are taking this horrible tragedy an turning it into something good. Read about their inspiring story here:

They are taking donations of money or goods to make baskets for parents who go through the same horrible situations, and have to leave their homes unprepared in times of uncertainty. Each basket will hold items of comfort and things that may be overlooked. The baskets will be delivered to Primary Children's Hospital in December, their goal is 100 complete baskets, one in each room.

Joslynn has decided that this is a great Personal Progress Project, and will be seeking the help from our ward and others. Joslynn and I will deliver the items personally to Rexburg in December. I know that they are concerned about food items right now. If any of you are interested in donating items, please contact me. If you want to donate money there is a donation button on the blog listed above.

Here is more information on the project:
