My Thirty-One book party is currently live, I should be getting a link for people to order directly on-line, this will make it helpful for people who don't live close as the items will get shipped right to you! :) If you have been considering a purchase from Thirty-One in the past, what better time then now to buy and help me raise a few dollars!! :)  I must say this was the first time I looked through a catalog and was surprised at all the items in there (everything from the bags/purses, to stationary, to umbrellas, to organizers.... there is really a LOT to choose from!!).  As always, please spread the word.... maybe a friend of a friend's mother has just been dieing to buy that new purse form Thirty-One, they see the link on your wall (or hear you talk about it) and bam, that puts me one more dollar closer to treatment and she gets the purse she has been wanting with the satisfaction of knowing she helped someone out to! :) 

Also HUGE update with good news about COSTS!! After meeting with the local Dr. and talking about treatment (he actually knew about Keratoconus, Dr. Brian and Treatment *Angels Singing*) we have narrowed costs down to more like $10,000-$15,000!!! So exciting to be able to cut the estimated costs in HALF!! For me this makes my goal feel so much more attainable, $30,000 is just soooo much money I was really stressing about not being able to raise that much! $15,000 seems much more realistic and reasonable to raise, especially if I can keep getting the word out and getting little donations here and there! :) My new motto after people telling me they don't have much to give is: Every LITTLE bit helps add up to a BIG difference! :) So even if you can only buy an $8.00 candle or make a $5.00 donation, please don't feel ashamed that you can't do more, you have helped me be that much closer to my goal and for that I can't say THANK YOU enough!! :) 

Also just an FYI I am going to be setting up a Tupperware Fundraiser soon as well (I don't want to overload family and friends with parties so I am trying to space them out a little),but if you are considering buying any Tupperware I would sure appreciate if you would wait until my party goes live! :)  Again, I am hoping to have a link available to order right on-line and ship directly to you for convenience!

As always, THANK YOU all for your support and your awesome work at spreading the news (and links) around! Together we can beat this!! :)

 
As most of you know we are expecting our fourth VERY soon, so things have been very chaotic! I have been working very hard on setting up a variety of fundraisers so hopefully there will be something to appeal to everyone! I currently have a candle fundraiser through Beaver Creek Candle Company up and running. I am selling Muffin candles for $8, Pie candles for $20 and an assortment of Jar Candles for various prices. If you are interested in purchasing any of these items please either use the "contact me" tab, message me on FB, of call/text if you have the number. Thank you again everyone for all your love, support and prayers! :)  
 
I just found out (work with me here) my dad's, dad's, sister's, boy... so I believe that makes him my Cousin... is blind and more then likely due to this :/ Thanks to my Madre for doing the leg work as we don't know a ton about my Dad's side of the family... but it appears they are the Culprits here.... as my great-great grandpa also had problems (may have went blind as well??). I can't imagine going blind, especially not in my late 20's or early 30's with such young kids... who will take care of them!? More prayer's that people will continue to be generous and I'll make it!
 
Well I received my first donation today, how incredibly exciting it is to know I am one step closer to treatment! Still a LONG way to go though, but I really have faith that we will get there (we have until August). Still working on spreading the word and this site to raise awareness! Hoping to organize some other fundraising things as well, thinking maybe like selling some chap stick, candles, scratch cards??? Something.... if you have any ideas please feel free to leave them in a comment! :) Words can not even express how incredibly grateful I am to be at $100 already! You could look at it as 1/5th of my airline ticket! Thanks Again for your amazing contribution it is appreciated more then you will ever know!
 
How exciting to get everything set up and rolling! I am going to try and blog everyday about how things are going in the process. I hope some of you will follow along as I navigate through this crazy time and who knows maybe we can get a community of people affected by Keratoconus!
