She showed and let me hold her cute ferret too!

Me, Jace and mom spending part of a Saturday folding cranes for the next mobile.

My mom’s friend is a firefighter and he got his crew to help fold cranes. Thank you Victoria firefighters!

This is a Myla’s mom post #2: The success of her fundraiser is all thanks to caring, kind, thoughtful and generous family, friends and a community who donated, whether it be monetary, origami papers, folding cranes or just encouraging words. Kids’ wishes will become reality because of you! Thank you to whoever nominated her for Hometown Heroes! She was nervous and excited to be on the show. Unfortunately, being extremely shy and always wanting to be prepared, she was not re...ady when they rephrased the question. She was thrown off and froze. Still extremely proud of her! https://globalnews.ca//why-this-11-year-old-b-c-girl-is-fo

This SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6th is my big sister Leila's 14th birthday. It will be a family celebration because of COVID. If you happen to be driving by our house that day please honk twice to wish her a big happy birthday! We'll have her shades down so she can see out from her bed from 1:00 - 4:00pm. Later that day I'll reveal the total donation amount. Below is another mobile that we are working on. It's a little bit complicated so is taking us longer. More pictures and thanks to donors will be posted soon.

Finally finished our first 1001-crane mobile! It took way longer than we thought because we had to write the names, come up with a pattern, and just stringing. Thank you for be patient with me. I folded origami hearts for donations of $50 or more because my mom didn't want to write that much This mobile was made with the donations of:... - May Mah-Paulson - Lyna Sandhu - April Navas - Kirsten L Dibblee - Yuliya Maslova - KeIIy C Braithwaite - Joanna Mangan - Blair Skinner - Kim Barker - Kathryn P Nickels - Michael Ralph - Monica Silva - Lisa Luu -Tania Baumfield - Michele C Chown See more
