Alethea's Christmas cards!!

Believe In Tomorrow is an organization that provides exceptional hospital and respite housing services to critically ill children and their families. They do this because they believe in keeping families together during a child’s medical crisis, because being together as a family is critical in the healing process for the sick child. We support this great organization, not because they have given to us, but because they do great things for families who really need help.

This past summer, they did a contest open for all the kids in their program, which includes our kids because of Sarah's sickness. The contest was a drawing contest, in which the winner's picture would be selected to sell as fundraising Christmas cards for BIT. Well, much to our surprise and delight, TWO of Alethea's pictures won the contest. They are the images below:

(note: they added the calligraphy)



These images were put on a Christmas card's, to be sold by Believe in Tomorrow, with all proceeds going directly to support BIT. On the back of the cards it gives acknowledgment to Alethea, age 7, for the drawing. Pretty cool.
