First off I must apologize for the late post. The party was on Saturday May 14 and it is now the 23. I really have tried to make the time to at least post the pictures, but I wanted to elaborate on the fun. Unfortunately the day after the party my kiddos got sick. Yes, all 3! So I hope you can understand when I say I have been a bit low on energy by the end of the day. Thank you to those who follow along on social media and have wished us a speedy recovery. We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers. A week later we are just starting to shake the fevers.
So without further ado I am so so happy to say we hit our fundraiser goal!!!!!!!
To be honest we were so relieved that most of our guests understood our cause and what this really meant for us. The thought of being able to help a child without the means for clubfoot treatment is such a blessing. We are truly humbled by this experience and grateful for all those who came and gave to such a great cause.
Thank you

You all helped a child with Clubfoot receive treatment. May God bless you all.
Josiah really enjoyed himself that day. He had his first cupcake, which he devoured! He enjoyed watching the older kids play games. He even received some great gifts. Among those gifts were his first pair of actual shoes, which we purchased from Sweet N Swag. He has worn them about 4 times since that day and they have managed to stay on his feet, which is a miracle because he takes everything off! We love them!
Overall the party was great, the guests were great and the memories are held so dearly to my heart. On this day we wanted to collect memories not things. We wanted to emphasize how much this year of Josiah's life has taught us to be grateful. To give back. To care about others needs before our own. To show love to someone we have not met by giving them the gift of walking. I am so proud to say we accomplished all of these on this day and it will forever be in my heart.
What a great celebration! I love seeing the photos. The whole family in one of the last photos -- beautiful! Thank you for sharing and I am so glad you met your goal.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind LaVonne, thank you. We were so happy we met our goal too.
DeleteYour family is so beautiful, Dominique! I love how the photos tell the story of the party. Such a good cause and a special celebration for a very special little boy! He's sure lucky to have two big brothers who look like they adore him! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAwe thanks so much! I am very blessed to have a beautiful family, God really knew what he was doing by giving them to me. Yes, the boys love Josiah to death. It's the cutest thing ever.
