We celebrated Karalyn's first birthday/heavenday on July 21, 2014. In celebration of our sweet girl, we donated 20 memory bags to our local children's hospital for bereaved heart families as well as 30 care bags for current inpatient heart kids and their families. We also were able to donate a couple items to help fill 100 grief packages through
Hayden's Heart. All of this was done through the organization we started in Karalyn's memory called
Little Light and was made possible through the generosity and support of so many people. A huge thank you to all who donated to our cause financially and materially over the past 6 months. What we have done through
Little Light has been so healing and rewarding for our family as we have had the opportunity to reach out and help other heart families. Beauty from the ashes.
A special thank you to Kristen Andersen with
Kristen's Cake Creations and
Icing Smiles for Karalyn's First Birthday/Heavenday cake. It was beautiful and tasted every bit as good as it looked!
