Hi everyone, I don't know how many of you are familiar with the tv show Extreme Makeover Home Edition. It is a wonderful show where a team of designers make over homes or build new homes for families who are less fortunate then others. Last Sunday they did a show about a beautiful little 8 year old girl named Cassandra. She's 8 years's old and has already battled cancer. Cassandra didn't want a house she wanted the team to make over the hospital ward at the hospital where she stayed and received her cancer treatments. She now has her own business starting. She makes beaded necklaces and bracelets and sells them. All proceeds go to the cancer foundation. I think it would be kewl if we could all help support Cassandra and her cause. You can read more about Cassandra on her website. They have the website up but they don't have necklaces and bracelets ready to sell yet, but they will send you an e-mail when they are ready to start making them. Here is the link to her site. www.lovecomesfirst.com

Nora, I recall Chris mentioning this little girl to me. It must have been right after you both had seen the TV show. What a nice idea you've had. I'll have to check out the website. Thanks for sharing. Mom

Mom, you're welcome. This little girl is just precious and wants things for others more than for herself. She was on the Ellen show yesterday and today is her birthday. Ellen asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted nothing for herself but she wanted people to donate whatever toys they bought her to the hospital for the other children. Hasboro donated $15,000 worth of toys to the hospital.

That is a cool story Nora! And I can really relate because I have a seven going on 17 year old daughter... I could only hope, putting her in that position, that she'd do the same! Thanks for sharing!
