Making Progress...

We now have an updated FB page for Wyatt's Wishes and I am very pleased with it.  I have also recently updated this blog to include our ETSY products (some of them) on the right-hand side. 

Our ETSY shop was also recently modified and new items are currently in the works.  We recently added our new line of taggie blankets to our ETSY shop, as well as our burp cloths and wash cloths.  Additonal selections will be added in about a week. 

Be sure to share our information with your friends, family, and co-workers.  Our products make great shower or sprinkle gifts and welcome baby gifts. 

Our ETSY shop link is:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/wyattsmommie

Thank you so very much!

A Holiday Gift

This year I would like to donate a care package to a family who has been down a very tough road this year.  Their little girl was born with a heart condition which required a transplant.  Just before her first birthday she received her new heart but her little body rejected it.  She is currently still in the hospital fighting for her life.  Her parents drive several miles each day to be with their daughter while still spending time with their son. 

I would like to raise funds to give this family $100.00 in gas cards, plus gift cards to Wawa and other quick convenience stores.  Additionally, if enough is raised, I would like to provide this family with a check to use to help with medical expenses. 

I know money is tight for everyone with the way the economy is, but if you could find it in your hearts to donate anything it would be appreciated!!!

Please click on the Wyatt's Wishes image in the blog just above this post to donate using a secure Paypal option, or send gift cards or checks to:

Angel Care Package Challenge - Update!!!

I am so excited!  Based on the information received so far, we should be receiving about 35-40 more blankets in the mail.  So far we have received 6, but I have received several emails and FB messages saying more are on their way. 

If we receive all of the blankets, Wyatt's Wishes will be splitting up the donations.  We will be delivering to CHOP, AI DuPont, and Ronald McDonald House. 

This is so exciting and I know Wyatt is up above smiling down on everyone!

More Recognition....

May 2011

Angel Care Package Donations Received:
- Lori Hubbs - three more beautiful crochet blankets
- Michelle Williams - an adorable dinosaur preemie sleeper

ETSY purchases to benefit Wyatt's Wishes:
- Lisa V. - "beautiful hat with flower" preemie size was purchased for her friend who just had a little girl

What's currently happening?

- Well, we were supposed to walk in the March for Babies walk on May 1, however, the doctor stated it wouldn't be a wise idea with me being seven months pregnant.  So, sadly we didn't walk, but we are registered to walk in the Start Heart Walk in September.  By that time, baby Nolan will be here to walk for his brother also!

- The yard sale is still on!  I have boxes and boxes of items ready to be sold.  If you know of anyone who is local who would like to donate items to sell, please provide them with my information or have them contact me at crymeg99@frontier.com.  I would be happy to pick up items if necessary.  If the items don't sell, they will be donated.

- On June 4th, we are having a family party to honor Wyatt's one year angelversary.  There will be plenty of photos to come, just know that it will be a monkey theme to honor "Our Little Monkey".

Please feel free to share this post and spread the word about Wyatt's Wishes.  Our goal is to provide every family experiencing the loss of a child something to hold in their arms when they leave the hospital, something that will ensure memories.

Pepsi Refresh Project

Okay, I am so excited and I haven't even submitted the application yet!!!!  Pepsi has what they call a Pepsi Refresh Project where they will extend grants based on need and votes.  I have finally completed an application for Wyatt's Wishes and it will be submitted next month.

Applications are only taken during the first week of a new month, so I have to hang tight until June.  But it is fitting, as June will mark Wyatt's one year since he left us. 

Oh how I pray that we are one of the 15 selected for June.  It would be great to make Wyatt's Wishes an all out reality!!  I would be so happy and I could just see Wyatt's smile looking down from Heaven. 

Once the application is submitted, I will send out the link so everyone can begin to vote for us.
