Sarah Will Win
Sarah Murnaghan is an 11-year-old aspiring singer with Cystic Fibrosis who has been in the news a lot for receiving lung transplants from adult donors. Recently, around the time of her birthday, on her Facebook page her family posted that they were having trouble finding big girl pajamas that button up the front. She was in need of pajamas with buttons so that they could fit around her medical equipment easier. So my mom had the great idea to just send Sarah a brand new pair of button up big girl pajamas! Shortly after receiving her package from Hoops For Hats, Sarah was released from the hospital! I was so happy to see her wearing her new pajamas on the way home from the hospital but even more excited that she is on her way to recovery!
Check out this news coverage on her arrival back at home!

Prayers for Addalynne
Addalyne is a gorgeous 5 year old from the Pittsburgh area who was diagnosed with Bilateral Wilms Tumors about a year ago. Despite having to deal with more than most do in the first 5 years of their lives Addalynne always seems to have a smile on her face. She loves playing and dressing up in pretty dresses, you can see a ton of photos on her Facebook page, Prayers for Addalynne. I follow her progress on her page and have even attended one of her fundraising events! I actually had an opportunity to meet Addaylnne at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh when I was volunteering at the hospital's carnival, doing glitter tattoos for the children! It was a very special opportunity to get to meet Addalynne because it is not often that I get to meet the kids that the hats go to. She picked out a hat for herself and several more to pass out to her friends who where also in the hospital that day. My sister, Laura, who lives in Louisiana also sent a personalized peace sign bag set to deliver to Addalynne on her last day of chemo treatments.
