A is for Ainsley | Calendars for a Cause



At the end of October, after finding a large growth on her cheek, three year old Ainsley was diagnosed with Embroynal Rhabdomyosarcoma. This dear little girl, too young to really understand what is happening, will be going through 22 weeks of chemo therapy at the Detroit Children’s Hospital. Detroit is located almost eight hours away from this little girl's hometown of Marquette, Michigan. Costs are accruing quickly for Ainsley's family, as you can imagine. Ainsley’s mom Patty, also fought breast cancer two years ago. 

The people in Ainsley's community, like my friend Samantha, are working together to raise money for Ainsley and her family. They are selling adorably designed calendars, sized 5 x 7, for $12.00. If you're in need of a gift for someone, this is one that keeps on giving! All the proceeds cover the cost of materials and the rest goes to Ainsley. These little calendars would be perfect for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, co-workers, and even for yourself if you need a desk side calendar. Hop on over to Calendar for A Cause's Etsy shop for purchasing details. 

Update: So many of you have been sharing this post on Facebook. THANK YOU. You rock.
