Today, Layers of Love is proud to announce that we are now working hard to collect brand new fleece blankets to donate to our friends at the Isaiah Alonso Foundation.
The Isaiah Alonso Foundation is a public charity that was founded in memory of 6-year-old Isaiah Alonso. Isaiah collasped in front of his parents in September 2010 and was rushed to the hospital. He suffered severe brain damage from complications of lymphoma. The lymphoma was not diagnosed until that day. He never regained consciousnesses and passed away soon after. Isaiah loved to wear superhero costumes and loved to dance to Michael Jackson songs.
The foundation also has a gift shop where you can purchase wonderful merchandise to help them in their mission to help children who have cancer. The Foundation is also on Facebook so be sure to stop by their page and “like” them.
The Isaiah Alonso Foundation Mission statement:
“Our Mission is to raise awareness for childhood cancer and raise money to lighten the financial strain on families dealing with this type of crisis. We provide financial assistance, as well as any other assistance necessary on an individual basis. It’s also our mission to help fund a cure. Together we can make a difference, helping one family at a time.”
We are very happy to be collecting blankets, and look forward to a very long relationship with the Isaiah Alonso Foundation, It is our hope to be able to deliver enough blankets to give to every child who is battling cancer, to provide them with comfort and warmth as they go through their treatments.
