Happy Birthday Princess Alli!
Happy Birthday Princess Alli! On March 12, 2014 we welcomed the most amazing little girl into the world. Allison Ruth was the perfect mix of sweet and sassy. She loved people. She taught us so much about life and unconditional love. Since we formed the Princess Alli Foundation in May of last year we have provided 2,170 care packages to families at Sparrow Hospital and Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in honor of our sweet girl. Please help us celebrate Alli’s 2nd birthday with a $2 tax deductible donation towards our care package project. paypal.me/princessalli/2 Or, give a gift of any amount: paypal.me/princessalli Thank you for your continued love and support, Alli’s Mom
One Year In Heaven
