Auction Day

Looking for a way to provide service this holiday season? Here is a great opportunity. Starting Thursday, December 10th (TODAY), there will be a charity auction at BLOOM (www.placetobloom.blogspot.com) to benefit Claire and Benson Skinner.

As explained by their parents, "Benson and Claire were born with a rare genetic disease in which their liver produces too much oxalate--called primary hyperoxaluria. Claire's condition has progressed much faster than Benson's. She has been on dialysis since she was 3 months old and is on dialysis 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. She is now on the waiting list to receive a combined kidney / liver transplant. It is expected Benson will eventually need similar transplants."

You can read more about the Skinners' experience HERE. (givehopetobensonandclaire.blogspot.com)

All proceeds from the auction at BLOOM will go directly to Claire's COTA (Children's Organ Transplant Association) account to help pay for her transplant. Please head over to BLOOM Thursday-Saturday for the auction!

I am auctioning a copy of the "One Yard Wonders" book, but there are way better things being offered. Tons of crafty trinkets, photography services and the like, plus spa and resort packages, helicopter tours, and tons more! Make sure you scroll through the over 80 items.

Check it out and spread the word. And remember it ends Saturday.

Cause if you can't help babies at Christmas....
