Blood Drive

On August 23rd, we partnered with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society and Carter Bloodcare and held a blood drive at Walmart. We had some issues as Walmart has changed their policy and will not allow anyone to "sell" anything outside their stores anymore. We were only allowed to ask for donations. That didn't stop us. We set up our booth and had our girls and two of their friends asking people as they came out of Walmart to come give blood and help support the society. The blood center told us that a "good" blood drive usually has around 8 donations in the 4 hours they are set up. We put the challenge to our friends and Sunday School class and we had 23 donations that day. They were not prepared and the line got backed up, but fortunately, all our friends hung around and went through the torture of getting stuck, but now there are 23 people out there who have been helped because of our blood drive. On top of that we got lots of donations and Carter bloodcare will donate $25 for every person that donates blood and signs a form. So, we were able to raise quite a bit of money for the society. It was so much fun and a great success! If you are able, please donate blood and help save someone's life. If you are in the Tyler area, please contact us for the form to sign so we can raise more money for the society. We only have 3 more weeks until the walk. Every little bit helps!

A special thanks to Tara and her fiance Bobby for driving in from Dallas to help out with the blood drive. It was so much fun raising money for a great cause and helping Carter save lives.

With God, WE WILL BEAT THIS!!!
