Upon returning home for Minnesota , this email was passed on to us from the editor at the news paper with the subject line reading: Something I thought you should know about. The sale took place on the Sunday we returned home so we thought we had missed it. To our surprise, the sale was so successful, the mom’s group decided to sell the pumpkins the following weekend. Mike the kids and I showed up at the church this past Sunday to personally thank these generous ladies. What a wonderful gesture we were so honored to be recipients of. A huge THANK YOU to Phyllis, Anne and the rest of the mom’s group of Risen Savior.
The article read: The mom's group at Risen Savior Lutheran Church is sponsoring a pumpkin sale to raise money for a Chandler toddler Sunday. All money raised in the sale, dubbed "Mini Pumpkin for Mega Cause," will be donated to 3-year-old Trey Lane 's medical fund. Trey has a rare genetic disorder called mucopolysaccharidosis VI, or MPS VI, that makes it difficult for his body to rebuild bone and tissue. Though mothers in the church group do not know the Lane family, they felt called to help after reading a recent Republic story about Trey's condition. The group plans to charge $3 a pumpkin and will accept additional contributions.
