Harley was diagnosed with Alpers Syndrome. She fought this disease since March and so many were praying for her. She touched the lives of so many people along the way. You can read her entire journey on her CaringBridge page. Many of us moms, including myself, know Katie and Harley through Cafemom by the January 2008 babies groups.
There is a balloon release scheduled for Saturday, August 29 at 1pm CST. It doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing. At that moment on Saturday we are all going to release a purple balloon for Harley. Below is a tag you can attach to the purple balloon. Take a picture of the balloon release and email the picture with the subject 'balloon release' to Ivy at sissygurl_02@yahoo.com. A collage of pictures of Harley and the balloon release will be created for Katie and Cameron by Amber.

Thank you to anyone who donated money towards Harley's shadowbox. All the money was raised and that is so wonderful!
It has been placed on my heart to help and I would like to hold a raffle to raise money for expenses, both medical and funeral. Harley was in the hospital for many months and those bills can add up quickly. Now her parents will have to face funeral expenses too. I know I can only help just a little but at least it is something. So what I am raffling off is a Coach purse. It is a light pink color.
Each raffle entry is $1. You can either place the entries separately or buy all at one time. All money will go straight to my PayPal and at the end of the raffle I will be giving all money to Katie. The ChipIn ends September 4th and the winner of the purse will be announced the next day. I hope you will help me help Harley's family!

As soon as Daniel gets home and I can get my grubby hands on his wallet, I'm going to donate. And thanks for the link back in the tag, though it didn't have to be that big or elaborate.
You always have the best raffles.
What a great idea to help this family.
They are in our prayers.
Love and Prayers,
Tim
I will be donating to this cause. My heart goes out to the family

My Heart is so broken right now. I'm praying and just about to hit the donate button once i'm done with this, thank you Holly for being such a good friend to this family
Holly, I'll be praying for your friend and her family. I can't even imagine what they're going through. You are so kind to help out and I'm sure all you're doing is very much appreciated.
Thank you so much Holly. Katie will definitely appreciate this. I almost have all the money raised to send her some flowers.
Oh, Holly...my heart is aching with you for this precious family. What a beautiful little girl. They will be in my prayers...and we will be donating to your chip-in.
Love and prayers for you and for this family...
My heart is grieving so bad for Katie and Camron. She is such a great mommy to Harley. She was staying so positive (in her writings). Harley is so beautiful. I just picture her up there playing with Carleigh!

What a beautiful heart you have Holly to help out. I donated some to her chip in. I'm sure the money will be such a blessing to them.
