It's been a big week in the Simon household. Canton turned
two last week and we did celebrate! It's what we do!! :) This week Simone goes
to Chicago for surgery. This is a surgery that we knew was coming since week
one. It is to repair a hole in the roof of her mouth. We are excited to get it
done but naturally nervous that our baby girl is having surgery and it doesn't
look they are gonna let parents and grandparents in the operating room. :)
We will be leaving for Chicago tomorrow. Simone will be
checking into Shriners Hospital for Children tomorrow
and having surgery on Thursday.
I am blown away at the generosity and kindness of The Shriners
who are taking care of 100% of the expense of Simone's surgery and
transportation for her and Tiffani to and from Chicago. We are so grateful!
I am a big believer in giving back more than you take in
life. In that spirit I am committed that, in my lifetime,
I will raise more money for Shriners Hospitals for Children than the cost of
Simone's Surgery plus the cost of another kids surgery as well. If you
would like to help, I am asking you to make a donation to Shriners Hospitals for Children. Maybe you would skip lunch
during Simone's surgery on Thursday, pray for her, and donate what you would
have spent on lunch to Shriners Hospitals for Children. I know that times are
tight but any amount would help. $5, $10 $20 or $100... together we really can
make a huge difference in the lives of kids like Simone. If you donate, please
comment on this or email me with your name and amount donated to
simon@jsimonphotography.com. You aren't bragging, you are just helping me,
helping others, and together we will make a difference. Here is a link to
donate.
Have an awesome week!
Blessings Joy and Peace,
Jess
