Hello Everyone! This is my first time to host a swap! At the end of this month, I will be traveling to Boston to join Children's Craniofacial Association for our Annual Family Retreat. Our organization helps children and grown-ups with facial differences, usually caused by certain syndromes. You could call them "deformities," but we hate that word! Anyway, our tagline is "Beyond the Face is a Heart!" and we have little silicone bracelets that we wear that says that. This is a great message for everyone, whether you have facial differences or not. Lots of us struggle with our self-esteem, be it our weight, our hair, or even our (cute!) freckles. So ... I would like to make an ATC that represents loving yourself and appreciating the person inside. Your only requirement is to somehow work the phrase "Beyond the Face is a Heart" into the ATC. You can even put it on the back if you'd like. You'll have 1 partner ... but here is the twist. I am going to ask you to make TWO ATCs. The other one, I would like you to send to our organization's Headquarters in Dallas. I will then ask them to distribute them to the kids we serve. We provide financial assistance to kids traveling to surgery for things insurance doesn't cover like airfare, hotel rooms, gas, and food costs. They families are often traveling multiple times a year and missing work. Our financial assistance helps ease that burden. I will ask our Program Director that when she mails out a check, that she includes the ATC to the family so that the little kiddo can take it as their good luck charm to the hospital. When I was a kid, I always had a good luck charm that I held when I got my IV and when they rolled me back to the OR. I'm asking YOU to make one for a very special kid!!! Newbies welcome with a filled out profile! No recent 1s or 3s without explanation. USA only due to the rushed deadline. The retreat is June 24-27. They leave Dallas June 24 (last mail day will be the 23rd). After you've signed up, I'll message the address for your 2nd ATC to our headquarters! CCAKids.org |
