Kick Leukemia's Butt!!

I have people ask me all the time, "How do you do it?" People tell me that they don't think they could handle having three children who all have a bone disease and one special needs child.  I smile and say, "You could do it if you had to."  So often I remind people, and myself, that we are just thankful that our children don't have anything terminal.

Not every parent can say that about their children, though. Children are diagnosed with horrible diseases each and every day--Including a three-year-old cutie, named Kevin. Here's the scoop:

My dear friends Gabby and Kevin Bolton are the proud parents of a precious three-year old boy, Kevin. Kevin, born on February 2nd, 2011, is a high-energy toddler who loves nothing more than to spend his days on the golf course or driving range. On March 19, 2014, everything changed for Gabby and Kevin, when what started as a high fever turned into a nightmare as they received the awful news no parent wants to hear, "Your son has cancer." After a doctor’s visit where Kevin’s blood was checked to determine what type of viral infection he had and a ambulance ride at night to the children’s hospital, Kevin was diagnosed by a hematologist with acute lymphocyte leukemia. Kevin has already endured a bone marrow biopsy and his first round of chemo. He has many more rounds of chemo, spinal taps, and biopsy to brave as he battles leukemia. In a situation that most adults would find difficult to face, Kevin has handled everything like a champ. However, this is only the beginning of a long and emotional journey for Kevin and his family. 
          The Bolton family is in need of our support and prayers, so Buttons and Beaus are joining the fight to help Kevin beat cancer. Therefore, we will be offering two items from our website for a $5.00 donation to Kevin’s family. The full proceeds of any fairy dust & wand or lego necklaces purchased will be donated to the Bolton family. In addition, 20% of all sales until May 31, 2014 will also be donated to the Bolton family in order for the the family to stay focused on Kevin’s battle rather than the financial burdens they will incur.
           Use code Help Kevin Fight to donate 20% of your purchase, receive free shipping and leave a message for Kevin and his family!



We are just doing our part to spread the word and encourage people to help this awesome little guy. Please keep him and his amazing family in your prayers. When you get a spare minute go check out Buttons and Beaus--they have super cute clothes for your kiddos and, while dressing them in style, you can also help a child in need.
