Brings Tears to My Eyes!

In a previous post, I mentioned a little girl who was having seizures and is now going through major brain surgery. Her surgery is tomorrow. The WTE June 2010 Mommas have set up an auction to help Kinley's family with medical bills and what not. Which can be found at the link below:

We have raised $3000 at the time of this post! And it only got started about 3 or 4 days ago. This is awesome out pouring of kindness and generosity from so many who have not even met this family. A lot of us have gotten to know Erin (Kinley's mom) on WTE.

Not only this but an event was started on Facebook "Wear Pink for Kinley" (see link below). Where we are wearing pink on Wednesday (tomorrow) to show our support to Kinley and her family as Kinley is undergoing her surgery tomorrow. We will be uploading photos of us in our pink gear, so the family can see our support. At the time I am typing this we are up to 1,150 people participating. Again most of us have never met Kinley or her family, but everyone is showing an outpouring of love, prayers, thoughts and tons of support for this little girl and family.

This all brings tears to my eyes. Good tears! I'm so proud of our little community for pulling together to help one of our own through such a hard situation. Whether you support them through donations, through prayers, thoughts or just wearing your pink, you are doing an amazing thing for a family.

This out pouring of support shows me that there is so much good in a world filled with turmoil and violence. For this I thank you all. Maybe if we could show more of this love to everyone, the world would be a better place!
