The creative blogging community is
coming together this weekend to help one of our friends, Julie Ranae. You may know her as the Design Team
Coordinator for many wonderful companies from bakers twine, die cuts, rubber
stamps and more. What many people
don’t know about Julie Ranae is that she has had some pretty major dental
surgeries in her lifetime due to medication she had to take as a child. It was in her plans to think about
having all of her teeth replaced
at some point in the next 5 years, a decision that was pretty easy to plan
out. But then it happened…she chipped her front teeth on a
weekend a month ago. The dentist told her there was no way to save them &
that it was his recommendation that she give in and have them all her teeth
removed soon, but for that day, they needed to get her front teeth done so her
gums could begin to heal. He said he would 'work
out payments with her to have ALL this work done...but when she called
to make her appt for the first step of impressions, they told her the amount of
money that was needed and that the 'payments'
applied only to the two teeth that were extracted that day. Her husband
Paul was with her & that too, was his understanding as well. So this is how
she has found herself in this situation…Needing at least $4000 to get started
and another $3000 to finish the process…a total of $7000.
Nicole Rixon, owner of Sweet Stamp
Shop put together this benefit after finding out about this situation and
before Julie Ranae knew it, it took flight!
Because she is an event organizer by
trade, she has taken on the job of organizing all of the blogs in this hop as
her way of ‘working overtime’ for what she needs, the same as if she were able
to work overtime at an outside job to pay for the work to be done.
It is the
goal of all of these generous friends and sponsors to help make this
situation more do-able for our friend so that she can share a brand new smile
with all of us soon.
If there is anything you can do to
help with a financial donation, there is a donation button ready for you to
click, on my side bar of my blog. Any amount is appreciated
and ALL DONATIONS will be eligible for prizes from our sponsor pool of over
$2500.”
I hope you enjoyed your stop here on the hop! The next stop is Ruby McGuire's blog. Make sure you leave a comment here
before you go so that you can have a chance at the amazing prizes up for grabs
and if you can, please make a donation so we can help bring back a new smile
for our friend.
Thank you and keep smiling! :D
