Update Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas here!! It was such a blessing and relief to have the surgery paid for. People have been so generous!! We have booked tickets for us to leave from Boston. This journey will be pricey, but we are excited!! We are trying to get the thank you notes taken care of. Each person that donated to our journey means the world to us!! We want to personally thank everyone!! If you haven't gotten a thank you note yet, please know it is coming!! We thank you all from the bottoms of our hearts!!
We hope that you all have had a wonderful Christmas too. We are excited for 2010 and the adventures it will bring!! We can't wrap our minds around what God has in store for us.
An excellent article ran last weekend in the Bangor daily news, another great article in our local paper here on Wednesday and we made the evening news on Christmas eve.

Happy 2010 to all of you!!

anonymous donor!!

We have finalized things!! As of the end of the day tomorrow Bobbi's ear surgeries should be paid for! A couple have come forward and are paying for her surgeries! Christmas Miracle in Mars Hill!! They are amazing people and I pray God blesses them beyond belief for this donation! A donation that will change her life!! We praise God for His timing.
An appointment has been made for april and september to do both ears in 2010!!

The deal is even better than this... but we want to keep some details on the down low until it runs in the BDN!! also look for us on wagm tv 8 on Christmas eve!!

Thank God For The Bangor Daily News

Bobbi's story ran in the Bangor Daily Newspaper Wednesday! Thursday we got about 550 dollars in donations in the mail, today we got about 620 dollars in the mail. Mostly from people we haven't met or probablly never will. Some older people, some kids, some families but all with huge hearts!! Thank you so much. If you haven't read the article it can be found at http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/132466.html?comment_result=posted#comments-post Well done, thanks Jen!!
Again To God be the Glory! Tonight as were at a Christmas Party for Jesus Bobbi looked at the girl next to her with some very pretty earrings and said "I gotta get some of them" I chuckled out loud, it was precious!

As we enter this Christmas season we are so thankful for all we have. I would guess that Bobbi's build an ear has about ten thousand dollars- wow!!

Thanks again and spread the word!

Thank you for your support!

Our first fundraiser was a huge success!

Our first fundraiser was a huge success! We raised over $5,000 on Sunday. Over 100 families had their pictures taken. They all left with CDS of pictures. The photographers did a great job!! They were energetic and got the job done. They worked hard! The volunteers were also amazing. They kept right up and did a great job! Everyone appeared to have a great time and the pictures came out great!
We want to thank everyone for the part they played. Thank you to the school for allowing us such a great spot for the event. The volunteers, the photographers, those that brought in items for the auction, our families, friends, church members and coworkers! We are so blessed to have such great family and friends. Thanks to those that helped decorate, those that cleaned up and those that just gave me the pat on the back when needed. It was a great day!

We are hoping to do it again in the spring!! Thank you all for the support and encouragement!!

97 slots filled

with a goal of 25 photo sessions when we started this... we are now at 97!! 97 families getting their photos taken to support Bobbi!!! Can you believe it! The excitement is running high and we can't wait!!
