In Memory of Andrew--Beau Beau Bag in "First Sights"

This bag is special. All net profits of the sale of this sale will be donated to a very special family, the Akin's. Here is part of their story-- "Andrew Preston Akin was born June 5, 2007. At 10 weeks he became very sick and almost died of liver failure. We soon learned that the cause was a genetic disease called HLH." His brother also carries this genetic mutation. You can read all about Andrew's story at http://www.carepages.com/carepages/babyandrewakin/patient and drop his family a message of hope. All net profits of the sale of this sale will go straight to Andrew's family to help with the cost of medical, travel, and other expenses naturally acquired during the care of a sick child. September 5th, 2009, Andrew has left this world and fought a hard fight. We will continue to create and sew in Andrew's memory, and for his big brother who is still fighting the good fight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In addition to this, for each sale of our Charity Beau Beau Bags, we will donate one bag to the hospital where Andrew spends most of his time, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where the bags will be distributed to children in the pediatric wing for free. Every child in that hospital has an boo boo that needs healing!! Donations can also be made http://etsypayitforward.blogspot.com/ through the Charity Donation Paypal button. Please indicate in the message in your PayPal Donation that the donation is for Andrew. We appreciate your help and donation! You'll note the shipping on these goes to help offset the shipping of the bags we will send to the hospital. Thank you so much for helping make the lives of sick children better! **** These Beau Beau Bags for Andrew and Matthew will ONLY be made in this Michael Miller "First Sights" print! For a wide variety of other prints, please see http://www.turtlemommy.etsy.com and look for her dual listing for Andrew and Matthew. Both the Charity Ouchie Pouchies at TurtleMommy and these Beau Beau Bags are part of a charity venture between TurtleMommy and Mama's Little Monkeys! Please contact myself or Erin at TurtleMommy if you have any questions and make sure the Ouchie Pouchie/Beau Beau Bag you are buying says its FOR ANDREW and MATTHEW AKIN! Amy & Erin
