I know this is a rather morbid post but I feel it needs to be posted.
Junie’s Trinkets on Facebook is holding an auction to help raise money. Her friend’s 4 year old nephew drown and the the family needs help paying for funeral expenses. I could not imagine a loss like that and hope I never have to know the feeling.
There are many beautiful items that have been donated for the auction. I donated some of my handmade candles and many others have come together to raise money for this cause. Please consider bidding in the auctions.
They start tomorrow 4/19 and end Sunday 4/25.
If you prefer not to bid and just want to donate money directly to the family via paypal, you can use this email address to paypal the money to: RichieV.2011@gmail.com
Little Richie was from Utah. His story was in a Utah paper: http://www.abc4.com/news/local/story/Child-dies-after-falling-into-Utah-Lake/1Cdln3lZYUun5uENrucLXQ.cspx
and Obit: http://aurora-24444.tributes.com/show/Richard-Valenzuela-91308440
ALL proceeds from the auction will be going to the family of little Richie.
If you are not able to bid or donate, consider helping in another way like sharing the story so that others might be able to help
This is terrible, very sad story. Thanks for the information!
How awful :(. I’m going to donate a couple of the stuffed monsters I have, to be auctioned off if she’ll accept them.
