One week till the benefit for Wynter!

One week till the benefit dinner, which has turned into so much more than a dinner- live music, silent auction- bake sale- so much more.
WOW. Time is flying by. Thank you to all who are contributing of their valuable time and are being so generous in the material items needed for Wynter and this event. Blessings to you all. 
Wynter and I catch a plane at 6am on March 6th!!! I think that is when all the crazy busyness calms that the emotional reality of what Wynter is about to go through, and what the following 3 months will look like, will truly sink in. Thank you all for your prayers! We will keep this blog updated for all of you who are wanting to keep up with how things are going. 
God Bless,
Wynter, and her family.
