Charity Never Faileth


This past summer Tyler decided on his own that he wanted to start a lemonade stand and give all his proceeds to a children's hospital. Completely shocked I asked why and his response was, "all kids deserve to live!". He almost seemed a little offended that I even had to ask. lol
So I helped him make the lemonade and gave him a little station at the bottom of the driveway. He earned about $30 and today we finally mailed it off (really late, I know).

After some research we decided to send his donation to the UC Davis Children's Hospital - Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy program. The funds are used to directly enhance the children's stay at the hospital with toys, art supplies, entertainment, etc. We felt that this would make a bigger impact from such a small donation. 

I'm so proud of my eight year old son for coming up with this act of kindness on his own. With this I made my New Years resolution - do more charity/humanitarian work. It's something I can do with my family and we can all benefit from it. 
Isn't it nice when the young ones set the example for us adults! 


If you are interested in making a contribution to this charity please mail donation to:

  1. You must be SO proud of Tyler! The young ones can certainly put us to shame at times.

    Thanks for being a part of Time Travel Thursday last year. I look forward to having you join the fun in 2012. ;)

    Happy New Year!
