Sweet Nella

I have been following Kelle's blog for almost a year now, right after sweet Nella was born.  And Nella was born with a magical extra chromosome, along with the other 400,000 Americans living with Downs Syndrome.  And it hit my heart like a rocket.  I have to help.  The first words that mumble out of my mouth, I just have to help.

So the Hampton's are hosting their very first fundraiser to raise awareness to Downs Syndrome with Nella's ONEder Fund in honor of her FIRST birthday this Saturday!!

And...I just have to help.  So, all (and I mean ALL) orders from now thru Midnight on Friday, January 21st I will be donating 47% off ALL sales to Nella's ONEder Fund from bekima knits.  I can't wait to see how we can help out not only sweet Nella's family but ALL families affected by Downs Syndrome.

*Why 47% Tanya??  Oh, because I just roll like that...and read Kelle's words below if you're not familiar with Downs Syndrome...


A First Birthday Fundraiser for Nella's Rockstars

One year ago, on January 22, 2010, we welcomed our second daughter, Nella Cordelia Hampton. The thrill of her slippery little body being placed in our arms was quickly jolted when we were told she came with a little something extra...a 47th chromosome. And like many others who set out on this journey, we struggled through a range of emotions the following weeks. Support came though--through loving friends and family, through education, through falling in love with our daughter who turned out to be the greatest blessing and just what our family needed.
We are learning more every day, and, through Nella, we've discovered a new world of acceptance and opportunity for the many individuals in our world with Down syndrome.
To celebrate the anniversary of the beginning of this beautiful journey and our enchanting little one, we are asking you to join with us in supporting the NDSS. Please help spread awareness and create more opportunities for the world to understand that we are more alike than different.
The National Down Syndrome Society works to create a culture that fully accepts and includes the 400,000 Americans with Down syndrome. Your tax-deductible donation will help support the vision of a world in which all people with Down syndrome have the opportunity to enhance their quality of life and realize their life aspirations.


Rock it out Nella's Rockstars!!
