Happy Fall

Thumbuddy Special- challenging YOU to help us “Fill the Basket”!

Friends of Thumbuddy Special!
 
Happy Fall! Summer flew by and Thumbuddy Special was busy at work making sure lots of kids enjoyed their time in the sun.4 children spent their summer riding their new adapted bikes!
For the first time, Josh, Amaya, Colson, and Gabe have their own bikes.Enjoy the photos below and this cute video of Gabe enjoying his new bike!
21 children received summer camp scholarships!  Arts and crafts, sports, swimming, field trips and camaraderie were all part of the activities creating memories for the campers.

Here is a note of  thank you from one of the families-
“My three children have benefited greatly and enjoyed being able to experience day camp this summer with WSSRA. I want to thank you for giving them the extra and much needed outlets that they have received in day camp. Thank you very much for all that you do.”  Sincerely, Eva
The Golf Outing in Memory of Carolyn Armstrong was a huge success!  Big thank you to all the golfers, volunteers and hole sponsors. We all had a beautiful day, the “Spirit” in the room was amazing! All having a wonderful time raising money for the kids.

Check out this great picture of the Armstrong family!

Help Fill the Basket!– It’s time to concentrate on our Moms Day Out Event, coming up on Sunday, November 15th and YOU can help!

Thumbuddy Special sponsors a day of pampering for 15 local moms who have children with special needs! Moms are treated to a day of shopping, spa day and dinner to promote camaraderie and friendship.

Now through November 6th, we are collecting “pamper items” to fill the baskets for our moms. You can drop off donations at my house or give me a call and I will arrange for pickup.

We can use anything “girly”! Some ideas- hair products, nail polish, soft slippers, facial products, lotions.

Any leftover items will be used for Christmas baskets for teenagers and moms. We could also use men’s grooming products for dads and teens at Christmas.

Don’t forget you can always donate online through Paypal and continue to support Thumbuddy Special when you shop on Amazon with AmazonSmile!

God’s Grace and Blessings to All,
Mary Ellen
