An Invitation

Friends, Family and Strangers, Alike,

are officially invited to join in on, 

"Ellie Kate's Wishes 2019", 

a tradition held since EK left this earth, 

December 2012.

As Ellie's parents, we long to see these wishes fulfilled in her name, 

and even more than that, we long for these families to experience

 the reckless love of Christ through these gifts!  

Giving is super SIMPLE and QUICK, 

but we need your help now, 

in order for items to be delivered to 

Families by Christmas Day! 

Right now, there are many deserving families, philanthropies and non-profits to support.  Our prayer is, for your heart to be moved, as you think on the reckless, undeniable, complete LOVE, God has for YOU - this is a precious, intimate love we continue to see, learn and understand, all because of our Daughter. Through that, may you receive a great desire to recklessly bless our fellow NKH families, families like us - also entrusted with a child deemed, "terminally ill", who continually face spiritual, mental, emotional, and financial struggles.  

Lucy's Christmas Party was a BLAST! We love ALL of our friends, including our Bronco Buddies, who trade their own recess for time spent with these special students! You can see the love on their faces!

• Family "A":  This Beloved Family is especially dear to our hearts.  The illness and disease, they face within their household, is truly hard to grasp.  Nevertheless, the family keeps on fighting, surviving, and thriving.  Each of the gifts listed below,  would be a blessing to the family, and would let them know they aren't alone in this fight.  Let's how them  them how loved and worthy they truly are!!
• Need #1

• Need #2

•     Need #3

• Family "B":  Family "B" is very special to us, as they too have lost a child to NKH.  They have a big household, including another little girl, who is also affected by NKH (just a little younger than Lucy).    Like us, our friends know where their child now lives - in Heaven, complete and whole, but the sting of death is unforgiving and can be so piercing to one's soul.  Granting these gifts would bless this family, allowing them to be loved, even in the midst of heartache and perseverance.  The particular gifts will help the little girl communicate with her family, friends, teachers, etc.  Can you imagine the freedom that could come with that?!? Giving a child a LITERAL VOICE - that's one amazing gift!

• Need #1 - Communication Device

• Need #2 - Communication Stand 

• Family "C":  This sweet family has been through more trials than I could possibly share.  Momma was diagnosed with cancer and has undergone intense chemotherapy. Both parents have been valiant warriors, especially while taking care of this precious little girl, during a time of great illness and pain.  The gift this family has asked for, is an "Up-See" (you may have seen this via FB commercials).  The Up-see allows the child to experience "walking", while attached to an adult.  Pretty incredible!  This gift would be a blessing to a family who has been through tremendous struggles, and would help a little girl experience something she never has before - the ability to walk, while assisted!! 

• Need #1 - "Up-See", SIZE SMALL

 *If you would like to give towards this gift, please private message me via Facebook OR email tullyryan@hotmail.com.  

Thank you, in advance, for granting these wishes and needs 

of our fellow NKH Families across the Nation! 

I can't wait to update, once ALL of the gifts have been purchased, but until then, 

please pass this around to friends and family, 

and join in, as you are able!
