We all need a little help!



I am a big sister to 2 great brothers. My youngest brother Brent has blessed our family with the only girls - Bailee and Brynnie. I call one my "rosebud" and the other my "little bee". I have had such a wonderful time being a part of their lives and am sad that they live so far away. We all cherish the times we can spend together during holidays and summer vacation. My brother is a single dad trying to raise 4 kids on a shoestring. He has done a great job getting the kids involved in sports to help foster team building spirit and self confidence.

In years past it was never a problem for any of us to help the kids out with their fundraisers. Now that times are tough - it is so hard to watch their dreams dashed. Trenton has played football for the past 2 years and can't play this year due to our situation. It saddens me. So tonight when my little niece told me that she and her sister need to raise a total of $1700 for the 2 of them to participate in competive cheerleading I nearly fell over. That is like asking me for a million dollars!

I explained that Auntie did not have money right now, but that I would see what I could do to help them out. They are precious, sweet girls who have been through a lot of ups and downs with divorce ripping their little worlds apart at such a tender young age. I want the world for them, as I do for all my kids - and nephews.

So - that being said - if you feel that you can help with a small donation toward Bailee and Brynnies Cheerleading Fundraiser - I would be so - so grateful!

I have set up an easy to use PayPal Button below - just click and away you go!

We all need a little help sometimes...and after all we are better together!
So for my little Rosebud and Little Bee ... Auntie will see what she can do to help you!
