March 13 ...

The first OFFICIAL Trisomy 13 Awareness Day : March 13!

There will be an official Living with Trisomy 13 (LWT13) ribbon.

The colors; pink, blue and yellow. They symbolize .... Girls, Boys and Joy of Life.

The pink and blue will not be pastel, but bright to represent how our kids are fighters, full of love and life.

When they appear I will be sure to post.

I will now begin to brainstorm how to make March 13th special ....

GRACE AND PEACE!

Responding to a Whisper

Aaron & I are excited to announce that our family has expanded! We have been blessed to adopt a baby. (From the Indianapolis Area) The Lord moved QUICK, we brought our son home from the hospital April 1, 2011. And the fund-raising continues! It is our desire to help support others planning to adopt and various missions.

To use my passion to create,we continue to sell a special Double Blessing Bracelet, 2 for 15$. Each bracelet will be made using loose beads from BeadforLife, which supports women in Uganda.

We will be selling these online, word of mouth, and local shops. We have added a BUY NOW button so you can purchase from this site.

Also, we have added a button to collect donations, if you feel called in that manor. Please click the DONATE button. Or send an email and we can provide an address to mail a check.

Finally, please pray!

TRI-BE

TRI BE
Battle. Breathe. Believe.

Across the globe, there's a forgotten and lost tribe of people. They're the children and families of children who have Trisomy 13 and 18. Their children have been given a death sentence. This tribe is hurt and mostly alone, waking up to face death and the fear of death.

For those in this tribe, they learn not to live in the past or the future, but in the now. They learn how to be. They must be. Their motto can be summed up in 3 "B" words: (tri be). Battle. Breathe. Believe

Battle - against pain, fear, death, against the very cells in a body. Against anger. Against ignorance.

Breathe - trisomy babies are supposed to forget how to breathe and die. As a parent, yo never take a breath for granted. And as a parent, you learn to just breathe. You keep thinking you can do something - you can't. I fact, you can do nothing. So, as Robbie Seay the singer says : breathe out and breathe again / know that life is hard, but it's worth breathing.

Believe - is all we can do and the best we can do. Believe that life is precious. Believe that today is a gift. Believe that there is eternal life for the redeemed. Believe that I have a Savior friend who will see me through this. Believe that there is strength in Him.
