Beauty for Good: Fundraiser for Meadow Quinn

As a mom, it completely breaks my heart when I hear about a child in need of medical attention. It breaks my heart further when their insurance company denies to pay for that treatment. Local Northeast PA 1st grader, Meadow Quinn, needs to raise $70,000 to pay for a feeding clinic program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Knowing that I have so many unused beauty products just sitting here, I have decided to help out.

Meadow Quinn has a disease called Neurofibromatosis. She has several inoperable tumors and has been fed through a feeding tube since she was 18 months old. A feeding clinic that will require a 4 week stay will help her to learn to eat like any other 7 year old. Can you imagine knowing that there is something out there that will help your child--it is within reach--yet you don't have the money to pay for it?


Meadow mentioned on Oprah's Big Give
So far $42,000 has been raised, but I would love to bring that amount even closer to her goal. Would you like to help? Then please take a look at the ebay auctions I have set up to raise the funds. Once each auction is live, they will be linked directly to the auction page.
