the story of my cousin.

Over the past week things have really taken off with the blanket fundraiser as lots of people have been super generous and lots of money has been coming in.  Where and who it all comes from are unique stories in themselves..one of these stories is of my cousin Dana.

Dana is a inspiring, and driven young lady, who after hearing the the blanket story started taking matters into her own hands.  At a family gathering I had shown a video that my mom and I had put together of the blanket story and how lives are being changed by the gift of a blanket.

For christmas Dana had received a piggy bank, the cool kind that automatically counts your money for you, and through this she got an idea.  She went on a scouring rampage all through her house for loose change..checking under couches, looking in pockets, gathering from everyones piggy banks, in the laundry, any nook and cranny where a few pennies might be hiding!

After scouring the whole house Dana sat down with all her findings and spent hours counting, rolling, and sorting all the coins that she had come across, and so diligently searched for.

Being the determined young lady that she is Dana spent four days with all her efforts, forever following her heart to do good, and bring warmth to others lives.

Seeing the determination with which she undertook this project was so awesome!









From all the change Dana collected she got a grand total of $100!!!!! How crazy sweet eh?!

Hey guys, Dana here now.. if I was able to collect that much from the change in my house, may I  challenge you to do the same? Go through all the couches, in the washing machine, your vehicles...anywhere, and see how much you can raise from the loose change. I gotta feeling you'll be amazed! 

Once you've gathered up all your monies you can donate through the pay pal link on the side of our blog. 


Thanks guys. Cheers.



Dana and Kara.
