On TV TODAY!!!
Local Atlanta familynetwork at 11:00am, I will be the one pale and shaking and looking like it is her first time on LIVE TV!!!
After that, a few of my amazing HVF volunteers will be helping me to deliver our many hundreds of beanie babies to the Hospital Chaplaincy department.
As usual, a crazy action packed trip to Atlanta. I'll be sharing the details when I return home on my caringbridge site
And I know I owe you a "Haley story"….I promise, I'll get one in before Friday.
April 5, 2008 entry
I have been working hard with The Haley Vincent Foundation
We (mostly the amazing Bonnie) have been trying to create a more user friendly site that I can journal on. It needs to be ever-changing so we get repeat visitors.
I will slowly start transitioning from our caringbridge site over to the Foundation page completely.
For now, I plan to keep journaling both places. Although the Foundation will focus on our work, I will add personal updates and stories to each entry.
I also have the ability to add page links for prayer requests, or even just emotional support. If you would like your caringbridge site, or personal web site linked to the Foundation, email me the link.
If you are running , or affiliated with a non-profit, and want your link included, we are creating a page just for those types of links. Email me if you want to be included.
One last thing…if you have ever received a miracle mail or grief package and want to write a short testimony, we have a page for that as well.Testimonials Once again…..email me.
Oh yeah, just one more thing, if you would like your child to receive a miracle mail package or know someone who needs one (or a grief package)…..uh, email me!
Happening in April
I am going to be on TV In Atlanta. Check back in a few days for details.
We are beginning to fundraise for "The Haley Vincent Music Therapy Program". This will include a full time staff member, equipment for the children to write, play, and record their own music. We are starting in Atlanta, but my dream is for it to be nation wide.
Haley's music
If Haley's music has touched you, please consider donating specifically to our "Music Therapy" fund. It is tax deductible.Be a Hero
Haley stories
So, as promised, a couple of "Haley stories" for you.
When Haley came back from Duke Medical Center, she had not seen her brother Logan for around 2 weeks. (She was seven, he was five)
She said, "Logan you've gotten taller!"
Logan replied, "Yes! And funnier too".
"Uhh, no you're the same amount of funny."
When Haley was around 10, we got our two dogs. Nick, Haley, and I were sitting on my bed, with Cara, our Corgi.
Haley was eating some crackers, and Cara was trying to snuggle in with her.
Nick said, "Cara wants your food."
haley said, "Maybe she just loves me."
"No, she wants your food."
"Uh…what are you, the pet psychic?"
That girl made me laugh out loud.
