Callie's Yard Sale~ October 18,2008

This is a picture of our sweet Callie taken here in Las Vegas just a couple of weeks before her accident.

Last Saturday, Faun and I had a yard sale to raise a little money for our niece Callie Butler. This whole thing would not have been possible without the help of lots of other people. We received many, many donations from friends, family, and church members who heard about Callie's story and wanted to help. So many people were involved that I couldn't possibly list all their names! I do want all of you (you know who you are) to know how much we appreciate all of your time and service. The sale was lots of fun and we earned $615.00! We know this won't even put a dent in Callie's medical bills but it might help Dana and Jeff's family with travel costs, food, Christmas or whatever they want to use it for. Callie's story is an inspiration to us all and we want her and her family to know how much they are thought of and loved!

I saw Faun's posts about Callie and spent hours on the computer reading about her accident and how well her recovery is going! That is just so amazing! Looks like you guys had a good turn out for the garage sale!

Thank you guys! I don't even know how to tell you how sweet that is! I just had to bawl when I finally saw it! We love you all! Callie actually stood up all by herself today, in the middle of her bed & without touching anything at all, she just stood straight up! hugs & kisses to everyone, you are ALL AMAZING!!!
