Thank you all for your prayers and encouraging messages about my sweet (& sassy) grand daughter, Alanie. We created this listing for the t-shirts that we are making to raise money to help her other grand parents who care for her a lot of the time as well as her parents.
In case you haven't seen the Facebook posts about her, she just turned 7 years old. She was diagnosed a couple of years ago with a rare and serious autoimmune disease called Myasthenia Gravis. This disease attacks her muscles, especially those used for facial movements, swallowing, and breathing. She has spent weeks in the hospital over the past couple of years. She has currently been at Arkansas Children's Hospital for 2 weeks and they are saying she might still be here another couple of weeks. While her medical care is covered financially, her other grandmother has had to miss a lot of work to be with her at the hospital and when she is sick at home. There are extra expenses such as gas, meals, etc along with missing work.
We know first hand what a struggle it can be to care for a medically fragile child. It isn't easy emotionally or financially, but we wouldn't have changed our lives with our daughter, Hailey, for the world.
We would love to help ease the financial burden a little so that they can focus on caring for Alanie. We are donating the proceeds from the shirts that are sold to her family.
**Just to be clear, we are her family, too. We love her so much. Our hearts break for her pain and the hard life she is living, but we are not affected financially like the others who she lives with. So, we are not asking you to buy t-shirts for "us", but for her other family members who care for her each day.
**Ok, so on to the t-shirts...
The sizes and colors will be listed below. If you have any questions, please message me on facebook or at HeatherLawson72@gmail.com or southernhangers@gmail.com.
