Dear Friends, Family and Fans...
Starting today, I will begin donating a portion of my sale profits to a 4 year old little boy named Joey. My sister is a teacher and Joey is one of her students who has recently been diagnosed with leukemia.
His story hits close to home for me, since I myself, have a 4 year old child.
In addition to giving a portion of my profits from sales, I will also be auctioning off some items to help raise money to go towards his medical expenses.
If there is an item you would like (including ready 2 ship AND custom creations) please let me know and I can get a listing set up for you.
Please help spread the word and let your friends and family know about this. You can suggest the Ryleigh's Room page to them by clicking "suggest to friends" under our icon to the left.
Thanks
Amanda

MEET JOEY
Joey is a 4 year old boy from the Wichita, Ks area who has recently been diagnosed with leukemia. Here is Joey's story from his mom Angie.
On Sept 23, Joey was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He spent 9 days in the hospital pediatric unit where they surgically input a central line into his chest and started the chemo treatments. He now gets his treatments on an out-patient basis and has been allowed to attend his daycare as long as he is well enough, but he isn't able to do many other things due to his very low immune system. He will be receiving treatment for the next 2 1/2 years but the outlook is very hopeful.
Joey is really into super heros, like Superman and Spiderman, and Mario Brothers right now. Anything that is red is a favorite. He spends a lot of time these days playing his new DSi that he was given while in the hospital (which is why he loves Mario Brothers). He has an older sister, Katherine, who turns 8 this weekend.
