I found this new friend through Etsy and ended up in her blog last week. And I found out she is raising money to help a friend's little 3 year old daughter Lilly. Isn't she the cutest little girl? Well, Lilly needs our help! I was touched by her story. Lilly is sick with Arnold-Chiari malformation. This malformation is a structural defect in the part of the brain that controls balance, the cerebellum. It causes a portion of the brain to protrude out of the skull and down into the spinal canal. When this happens, the brain tissue blocks the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to and from the brain. CSF is important because it surrounds and cushions the brain and provides nourishment to the brain. Please read more of Lilly's story here. You can participate in a raffle they are having to raise money to help her medical expenses. OR you can DONATE money towards it too. I know times are hard, but if everyone donated $1, or $5 or even $10, it would make a difference. Here is the link to the blog with all the information. Please take the time to check it out and I totally appreciate it! :)
