I am a softy and so of course I got my quarters out, ready to make my purchase. They then shouted "It's for Joey Folino!" <BR/><BR/>Joey is a 10 year old boy that has AML Leukemia. I don't know him personally (and I never had the privledge of meeting Alivia), but through her, my heart has softened and changed. Sick kids, poverty, homelessness, etc always seemed like such "large" problems. Too big to do anything about. But that day on the porch, God spoke to my heart and said "You can care about this one child, like you did for Alivia."<BR/>The fourth graders were trying so hard to make money for their friend. I know that I can contribute more than meer quarters, and I did. I just wanted to reinforce that Livi's legacy of caring is not forgotten.<BR/><BR/>I too check the blog daily, hoping for some news on how you all are managing.Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983914941867961880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21221250.post-67286438744704769322007-08-08T15:32:00.000-04:002007-08-08T15:32:00.000-04:00Just wanted to let you know I will be donating my ...Just wanted to let you know I will be donating my baby's cord blood with my next pregnancy.

(You and I were in her wedding together). As I read some of your entries, I figured out that the "Emily" I was reading about was Emily Allen I knew at IUP. My heart was sad. <BR/><BR/>I was so shocked and overwhelmed when I read about your precious Alivia. Her pic's are adorable and I know that pictures cannot even capture the fullness of a child's endearing personhood. <BR/><BR/>Please know that I have thought about you and will continue to ask God to guide you through. It seems that you have many people in your life who dearly love you and your family.
