Part of the family foundation's fundraising effort, the bracelets are just $5 each. I'm glad to hear they're doing another sale, because they had a lot of great stuff. And every little bit of help and encouragement counts when you are facing the challenges the VanHoutans must deal with.

I stopped by over th weekend and made a few purchases. They are actually doing it all again this weekend. I'm dropping off a trunk load of newer gently used girls and boys toys for them to seel and keep the money for expenses. I hope it all helps. I'm sayin a prayer for them this week. God Bless this family! What a story and what a great effort by this community. I stopped by over th weekend and made a few purchases. They are actually doing it all again this weekend.

All of the funds go to help this family and others dealing with Batten disease. There will be tables and tables stretching across three driveways -- come find something great for yourself, and help this important cause! Elaine, thanks for highlighting this wonderful family! DG Residents,

Please stop by the garage sale today if you can — you can’t imagine how many terrific items have been donated by neighbors for this sale! All of the funds go to help this family and others dealing with Batten disease. There will be tables and tables stretching across three driveways — come find something great for yourself, and help this important cause!

Elaine, thanks for highlighting this wonderful family!
