A special month and a special cause

February is CHD awareness month.

February is also considered a "Daniel month" in our home. In 2010, we celebrated his 2nd birthday together in China. We welcomed him home to his new surroundings. We celebrated Valentine's Day together. And our son was baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

It was pure bliss.

It's really been on my heart to do something special this month with my book proceeds. So what a perfect opportunity--and the perfect month--to give to a special heart cause.

I have thought about all of the awesome charities that we could give to, but one in particular stands out this time. It's the "Love you More" heart home, in memory of Teresa Bartlinski, who went to Heaven last July after her heart transplant. We all loved and prayed for Teresa, but Jesus loves her more and took her Home.

I reached out, last month, to Teresa's mom and asked if it would be possible to, basically, purchase a room for Daniel in Teresa's special house. She loved the idea, and now I'd really like to make it happen.

This month, I am donating 100% of the book proceeds to this cause. The only way that I can keep track of the sales is if the book is purchased through the PayPal link located in the right column of this blog. It doesn't matter which cause you choose from the drop-down menu, I'll just give all of it this month to this special project. Okay?  Okay.

Here's some information about the "Love you More" Heart Home, and in case you'd like to directly donate, here's the link for Little Hearts Medical. Would you please earmark your donation for "Daniel's Room?"

What a meaningful way to pay tribute to these precious angels and, in their memories, help other children receive the life-saving surgeries they need. Thank you, in advance, for your support.

May your heart be blessed.
