Benefit

Well the benefit was a success. Sorry it's taken soooo long to post, but we've (Stefanie and I) have been pretty busy. In total we brought in around 3K after everything was calculated. We plan in the future to have another benefit. We just didn't raise enough. But don't get me wrong what we did bring in The Karnes Family is extremely grateful! But we'll keep you posted on when and where. But thanks to Troy (MR AUCTIONEER!) I think we did very well. We'd love to hear your thoughts and if you have ANY photos from the event PLEASE send them our way. Anyhoo - thanks everyone for a job well done.

Update on Troy'Michael - he's been pretty tired these days but thankfully he does NOT have Leukemia he just has elevated platelettes so please keep him in your prayers. And again thanks everyone for everything!

Christy Rowe.

Another Donation

Whelp I've decided that instead of collecting dust that I would put some of my mothers Barbie's to good use. So I'm putting up 2 Collectible Barbie's.
I think Troy'Michael's worth it don't y'all?
So come on folks - show us what you're made of!!!

Thanks in advance, Christy Rowe.
