While Marissa lost her battle here on earth to brain cancer, (DIPG), and gained her angel wings, the doctors and researchers at St. Jude gave Marissa every chance possible, and for that we are eternally grateful.

Love Without Boundaries -- Love Without Boundaries Foundation is a worldwide group of volunteers dedicated to improving the lives of orphaned and impoverished chidren in China. They provide humanitarian aid in five key areas -- Education, Foster Care, Healing Homes, Medical and Orphanage Assistance. Donations to Love Without Boundaries will be designated for cleft lip and palate repairs and heart surgeries. Our daughter Marissa Faith, was passionate about ALL children being adopted, she wanted healthy children as well as special needs children to be adopted into, loving, forever-families. We know that she would support the efforts of LWB 110% and more! We chose these two special needs, as our second son was born cleft affected, and Marissa LOVED her big brother and because Marissa changed our "hearts" for orphaned children forever.
She loved the color purple and she loved horses, so we have chosen this fleece to help other children.

Sponsored Children in Guatemala -- Sales of blankets will help provide funding for the on-going education fund, for two girls we are sponsoring in Guatemala. Their family served as our son's foster family before he came home to our forever family. He was loved like he was their own child, he thrived in their loving care. They made a difference in our son's early life. We can never repay them for all the love they showered on him, but this is a way we can give back just a little bit for all they did for our son Isaiah. Without our help, they cannot afford to go to school, without education, they have no hope of a better future. Since adoptions stopped in 2007, it has been very hard for many of the foster mom's to find work to provide basic necessities for their families, food, clothing, health care, education, etc., things we take for granted here in the U.S. This is just one way, we can help. We love this family, they are part of our family forever.
