"Only FIVE Days Left…" By Nancy Alexander

To Help Meet Our Family Goal and Donate to the March of Dimes…

March of Dimes

Their Research SAVED Austin's Life!

There are only FIVE days left to help us meet
our family goal as we raise money for the…

The March of Dimes – March for Babies

 

For every $25.00 you donate, you have a chance to win a $200 custom wreath made by Nancy.  We will film the drawing which will be held on the day of the walk which is April 28th!

This is a cause that is VERY DEAR TO OUR HEARTS! You see, our little grandson, Austin Thomas Alexander, age 2, would not be with us today if it were not for the research and development of drugs used to save the lives of many preemies every single day! Not one little life should be lost because of lack of funds in developing these new "Life-Saving" Treatments!

Since time is running out, and you probably do not have time to mail a check, you can go to our family page on the March of Dimes website.  www.marchforbabies.org/MILESINTOMIRACLES

Here you can donate to our family team and have an option of several forms of payment.  If you do pay through our family page on the March of Dimes site, please email me:  nancy@ladybugwreaths.com, to let me know that you made a donation so I can make sure that your name is added into our drawing. 


THE DEADLINE FOR THE DONATIONS IS APRIL 21ST!

We are SO very grateful for those of you who have already made donations!  If it were not for the research and development of new drugs to save preemies such as Austin, he, and many other Sweet Little Ones would not be with us today!

“Austin’s Story Cont.” Contest For a Custom Made Wreath

Feb11

"Austin's Story!" By Nancy Alexander


Ladybug Wreaths is Hosting a Contest for:

A CUSTOM WREATH Designed Especially for ONE LUCKY WINNER!

YOU can enter a drawing for a chance to win a CUSTOM DESIGNED WREATH just for you.  Your wreath could be similar to the one below…or totally different.  It is YOUR choice! The wreath you will win is valued at $200!  I will even pay the shipping costs!  It will be designed especially for YOU in any color, style, or design that you wish!  You may ask, "Why are you doing this?"  I am doing this to raise money for "THE MARCH OF DIMES; MARCH FOR BABIES", an organization which holds a DEAR SPOT IN MY HEART!"


 

The winner will receive an extra large wreath similar to the one above.  I know a lot of you support worthy causes, and this is certainly one of those.  For a minimum donation of $25.00 to the march of Dimes, your name will be entered into the drawing once.  For every $25.00 you donate, your name will be entered into the drawing, i.e. for a $75.00 gift, your name will be added three times.

The little boy below, our grandson, Austin Thomas Alexander, now 26 months old, is the reason this charity has changed our lives. You see, Austin would not be with us today if not for the work of the March of Dimes!

 

Austin, born at 31 weeks, spent 33 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Greenville Memorial Hospital.  The March of Dimes and their research aided in the development of a new drug, surfactant, as well as other drugs which saved Austin's life as well as the lives of many other preemies.
