Tiny Sparrow Foundation

Last Saturday was my birthday (36!), this Saturday is Ruby’s birthday (4!), and tomorrow is a special fundraising event - all the way down in Texas! - for a special organization. The Tiny Sparrow Foundation recruits and trains professional photographers across the the world to offer free portrait sittings and prints to families whose children are living with cancer.



I receive requests for giveaways and donations all the time. Like, all the time. Usually they are from lovely people and for lovely causes, and sincerely wish that I had the resources to donate to them all. The work of the Tiny Sparrow Foundation spoke to me. My aunt lost her baby to a brain tumor when I was 6 months old. My friend lost her baby to heart failure when Ruby was 4 months old. In my teen years two young friends died – one of leukemia, the other of heart disease. The loss and pain and grief is immeasurable, yet my friends and the families that Tiny Sparrow work with inspire hope and strength and grace in all of us. With gratitude for my family’s strong health and my life’s rich blessings, it was a delight to send a package of Dress Me Up gifts for the Tiny Sparrow Foundation’s Silent Auction.

If you happen to find yourself in McKinney, Texas tomorrow night, be sure to attend "Pictures of Hope Fashion Event" at True Rumors, beginning at 7:00 pm. You can also donate to the foundation following the Donate Now button on their site.
