Will you do us a favor?

You've heard me talk about Ava's school, The Little Lighthouse. You know from all of my posts how wonderful it is. You know that it is a private christian school for handicapped children, but rather than expecting tuition from the parents, The Little Lighthouse operates solely on fundraisers and donations from the community.

Here are a few photos from when Hope and I took bunnies to the school in the spring.


Well we have an incredible opportunity to win $500,000 for the school. Kohls is giving away $500,000 to 20 schools and right now we are not quite in the top 20 but pretty close!!

I have maxed out my votes and have bugged all my facebook friends repeatedly to vote. Will you please vote for The Little Lighthouse? There are some really special kids who really need it.

Click here to vote, (you must have a facebook account) and type in The Little Lighthouse. You get 5 votes so be sure to use them all. It is so easy and so fast. Please consider doing this for Ava! It would mean the world to me if you left a comment telling me you voted. Thank you!!!

    Hi Charissa! I voted! Just an FYI it comes up as Little Light House with the lighthouse separated and took me a while to find it since it won't come up the other way. :) Good luck!
