Slurping Life and love for Parker

Last month, I told you the story of Katie Gardner, off to Uganda to take photos with children in the IDP camps. Katie was a recipient of donated photo gear that HP sent bloggers who wrote about the Capture Your Ever After photo contest.
Today, I want to tell you what Melody from Slurping Life has decided to do with her thank you gear. She is hosting an "online love offering" to raise money for the healthcare costs of a young boy with numerous medical issues. The HP photo gear is the featured prize in the associated raffle.
When we came up with the idea to give the bloggers some gear to donate to a charity of their choice, we knew they would have no trouble coming up with deserving recipients.
But the creativity of their choices has exceeded my wildest expectations. That a digital camera and printer and some photo paper could make a real difference in the life of a sick little boy and his family… That a digital camera and printer and some photo paper could make a real difference for the children in the IDP camps…
Makes you feel good. Real good.

Susan, I was just about to email you. I was waiting until I had that adorable button and code to send you (which I just posted)…but I see you are on top of things without my assistance.
Thanks SO much. Things are going beautifully for this event.

Melody,
A fortunate coincidence!! I was always planning to write about this today. When I went to pull the links from your blog, I saw the button and decided to add it to the post. I’m so glad you are getting a good response.
