Alex's Benefit

This past Saturday was so busy for us.  We started the day doing balloon twisting and face painting at the Kingdom Fest, a Christian festival held at Abide in the Vine.

We then did balloon twisting at a birthday party, and, finally, we went to a benefit for Alex Pinto, a child with Diskeratosis Congenita, a genetically inherited disease.

Diskeratosis Congenita causes many different symptoms, and, for most people with the disease, progressive bone marrow failure.  Alex is constantly traveling to hospitals for various treatments that cost his family a lot of money, so a benefit was held to try to help his parents with some of the increasing costs of his medical care.  Please click on the links above to learn more about this debilitating disease, and consider donating to this worthy cause!

We had such a great time reaching out to the community.  It feels so good to help people out!
