Introducing "10,000 Bands of Hope"
.
Our goal is to sell 10,000 wristbands in support of Jordyn and her family. The reason is two-fold. First and foremost it is to show support for this little girl, to let her and her family know that there is a small army of people hoping and praying for her to get better. At times like this, one of the only sources of comfort a family receives is in the kind thoughts and good wishes of family, friends and strangers. The support of community is powerful, and has the ability to make a family feel less alone in their battle.

The second reason is to take away what stress we can in terms of money for the family. Medical bills not covered by insurance are one obvious expense. In addition, once Jordyn is in remission, she will receive another bone marrow transplant. This is a long and intense process. It involves keeping Jordyn and her home environment germ-free in an effort to keep her weakened immune system as healthy as possible. In order to do this, changes will need to be made to Jordyn's home to prepare for her year-long "house arrest". We believe that the money raised in our "10,000 Bands of Hope" wristband drive will help the family by allowing them to make all necessary changes to give Jordyn the best chance at a full recovery.

We will reach our goal, one wristband at a time. Everyone who buys a wristband represents a person hoping and praying for our sweet Jordyn.

If you own a business and would consider putting a small box on your counter (where appropriate) for people to purchase wristbands, please contact me.
