    Change for CHERUBS

    Cherub Landon Kelly and his sister, Nyah, raised money for CHERUBS while Trick-or-Treating. Landon and Nyah collected change for CHERUBS while they collected candy. And they were adorable while doing so! Way to go!!!

    Precious..and what a great idea..
    Son Claude born with no diaphram- diagnoised in utero @ 20 weeks. passed away after 10 days. Celie diagnoised after birth- did high risk clinic ultra sound and saw complete diaphram @ approx. 28 weeks. Had Chambers who was a healthy baby inbetween Claude and Celie so saw no need to have another ultra sound. Celies repair at 3 days home in 1 month. Has one full lung and one quarter of the other. She will be 3 Nov. 21 and has no other complications. So I have been on both ends of the spectrum with CDH.

    Thanks everyone...I read about the idea somewhere on this site and thought it would be perfect since Landon can't have the candy anyway!

    He collected $33.70 in about an hour and a half...I can't help thinking if we got 100 families to do this how much money could we bring in for CHERUBS??? Anyone want to join in next year???

    That is a good idea. I was thinking if everyday when you get you take your spare change from your car purss or pockets and every six moths or so send it in! I have started my jar!
