A Surprise Donation!!!

While Nathan and I were at Meriter yesterday doing the "Buzzed into Madison" interview, we stopped by the guest services in Meriter to see the sign that they have up for donations. It looked so nice. I wish we would have taken a picture, but it is at least there. We didn't think we would have had a donation because I have only annouced it here on the blog. But the ladies at the the service guest said that a woman came in and donated a whole bag full of really nice clothes. And it was such a surprise for us, but so nice.

So Thank you very much for your donation. It means so much to us that you wanted to make a donation. The clothes you donated will be so helpful and very useful for the NICU at Meriter. Thank you again for all the wonderful clothes.


Be sure to watch Madison's CW "The Daily Buzz" Monday morning from 6-9.

Yesterday, Nathan and I did an interview with Emmy Fink from the CW. Emmy Fink does a segment on the CW called "Buzzed into Madison". The segment airs during the national viewing of "The Daily Buzz" from 6-9 in the morning Monday thru Friday. Our "Buzzed into Madison" segment will air on Monday, June 22, 2009 at 6:20, 7:20, and 8:20 in the morning. We are so excited to have this opportunity. Nathan and I both watch the Daily Buzz in the morning, and see Emmy every morning doing "Buzzed into Madison". It was really cool to meet her. We know she will do an amazing job piecing everything together for Monday. One of the coolest things about this is that after it hires once, it will continue to air throughout the next several weeks until the donation drive is complete. Its kind a like we have our own mini commerical. Its really neat.
After it hires, it will have a link to view it online. I will add the link on Monday after it has hired. I hope you can tune it and watch it, it will be a great piece and I hope it make an impact on the donation drive.

Madison's CW is cable channel 57, if you charter, the channel number will be Channel 2. Thank you Emmy Fink for doing the interview, it means so much to us that you wanted to share our story. Thank you!

Thank you Dorothy Van Wie from Wisconsin Dells, WI.

Thank you so much for your genorous donation. The woman that made this donation holds a special place in my heart. She has been the only person I let always call me "Elizabeth". Dorothy was my grandma Agnes's best friend, (Alivia's Great Grandma, also where Alivia got her middle name). Having Dorothy around is like still having a piece of grandma here with us. It means so much to me to have Dorothy make a donation in honor of Alivia. Thank you so much for your donation. You are such a wonderful lady and so sweet. You have been nothing but amazing to me since I can remember. Thank you again very much.

Thank you Colleen Fox from Wisconsin Dells, WI.

This donation is from Alivia's grandma, Colleen Fox. There is a wonderful story behind this donation. My mom decided to take a different way home than she normally does, found a sign for a garage sale and decided to check it out. While she was there she left lucky because she found a lot of premie clothing. While my mom was there she started talking and shared Alivia's story. While talking the lady shared that one of the little girls birthday was July 23, Alivia's birthday. I believe that my little girl was with her grandma that day. Alivia wanted her grandma to be there and feel her.


Thank you very much for the donation, Mom. I know how much it means to you that you could make such a generous donation. Thank you for always being there and being an amazing mom and grandma. Thank you very much for everything.
