My baby girl has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

i really like the wee owl graphic on the caringbridge site.

added some pics to gettyowl

off to the right is a link for photos

Don’t let being 40 stop you. My son was born when I was that age. You and your wife obviously have big hearts filled with love. Peace to the three of you.

www.gettyowl.com has been updated and looks great thanks to a friend of ours.

It’s beautiful, Bearflag, congrats to your friend.

Already received the items I ordered! I can’t believe how fast that was. The items are great. The teddy bear will be a gift to my 6 month old great-niece Coralie. The yellow bag I’m going to use myself.
Sending all the mojo I can muster for the Owlet and her parents.

Love the poster for the crafts event!

BTW - it might be worth checking with a tax advisor to make sure you know how to handle gifts and contributions at tax time. I have ZERO clue whether these are taxable income, gifts, whatever… but perhaps there are some tax-savvy Dopers here who could at least suggest some reading. I would utterly hate to see the IRS give you any trouble.

Any tips help. I know 501©(3) is out.

Gotta comment on a pic…

If she doesn’t look like a wee shaman!

OK, Dopers, if you have 2 seconds, please vote here for Gwendolyn Strong Foundation (GSF) to get $20,000 in funding for SMA research.

No need to submit personal info. Just a couple clicks and keystrokes, and that’s it!

You can (and should) vote once per day. :stuck_out_tongue:

I voted today and will do every day. Anything to help the cause, Bearflag.
Just had a little cry for your little owl viewing her latest pictures. She really is a sweetheart. I just wanna hug her and blow raspberries on her cheeks.

Voting ends tomorrow and we are neck and neck with another group. Please vote!

Done.

Done and done.

Done.

Also done, but it looks like we’re still neck and neck. Spread the word guys!

Done. Still tied with the other group.

Too bad they don’t show the raw vote count.

Kinda sad to pit cancer kids against SMA kids now that I think about it.

I guess it is, but every fucking Tom, Dick and Harry in the world solicits donations for cancer. You can’t turn around nowdays without someone wanting money for cancer victims of one sort of another.

I’m happy to vote for the SMA kids.
