AVON FUNDRAISER FOR TREY'S TREASURES!

My children’s' cousin, Trey Lane , was born with a very rare genetic disorder that causes great difficulty for this little angel and his family. Trey's Treasures was set up to assist with the endless medical costs that the Lane family endures in helping to meet all of Trey's special needs.

In appreciation for the extra blessings that my Avon business brings in for my family, I am happy to announce that every month 10% of my profits will be donated to Trey's Treasures . This will be an indefinite fundraiser, so there will be on-going donations made to the fund every single month from now on. In addition to these donations, I would like to personally extend an extra 10% discount to you off the total of your first order if you send me an email to let me know that you would like to become a new customer through this special offer. My email address is avon.lisa@yahoo.com, and my Avon website is youravon.com/larmijo . Please let me know if you would like me to drop an Avon book off to you or send you one in the mail, however you can also view the current book online through my website. New books come out every 2 weeks, and orders are placed for fulfillment every 2 weeks as well. Orders can be made by emailing me your order or by placing your order through my website. If you place your order on the website and you live in the valley please make sure that you select the option to have your order shipped directly to me so that I can personally deliver it to you, which will save you the shipping charges. If you live out of the area you can select the option to have your order shipped directly to you, however with this option you pay Avon for your purchase rather than your Avon Representative, so unfortunately I would be unable to extend the extra 10% first order discount to you, however, the profits made from your order will still go towards the monthly donation to Trey's Treasures . When your order is placed for delivery to me, no payment is due until your order arrives and I deliver it to you.

Please spread the word to any of your friends and family who may have an interest in Avon products, as more orders mean more donations to Trey's Treasures ! I will indefinitely extend the 10% first order discount to every single person who hears about it as long as they notify me with an email. :-)

Thank you,

Lisa Armijo

WHAT IS MPS?

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) is a genetic lysosomal storage disease caused by the body's inability to produce specific enzymes. Normally, the body uses enzymes to break down and recycle materials in cells. In individuals with MPS, the missing or insufficient enzyme prevents the proper recycling process, resulting in the storage of materials in virtually every cell of the body. As a result, cells do not perform properly and may cause progressive damage throughout the body, including the heart, bones, joints, respiratory system and central nervous system. While the disease may not be apparent at birth, signs and symptoms develop with age as more cells become damaged by the accumulation of cell materials.

WHAT IS MPS IVA?

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA, also known as Morquio A Syndrome) is a disorder characterized by deficient activity of N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfatase (GALNS) causing excessive lysosomal storage of keratan sulfate (KS). This excessive storage causes a systemic skeletal dysplasia, short stature, and joint abnormalities, which limit mobility and endurance. Malformation of the thorax as well as macrophage dysfunction in the lung likely impairs respiratory function and contributes to sinopulmonary infections. Odontoid dysplasia and ligamentous laxity can commonly cause cervical spinal instability and potentially spinal cord compression. Other symptoms may include recurrent infections, hearing loss, corneal clouding, and heart valvular disease. Initial symptoms often become evident in the first five years of life. Depending on severity of the disorder, age of diagnosis will vary. Many patients become wheelchair dependent in their second decade of life and undergo numerous surgeries to alleviate life-threatening conditions caused by the underlying enzyme deficiency.

The incidence estimates for MPS IVA vary widely, between one in 200,000 live births to one in 300,000 live births. Approximately 400 patients worldwide have been identified and tracked through the International Morquio Organization (IMO) survey. There are already more MPS IVA patients identified through this registry than there are MPS VI patients being treated with Naglazyme worldwide. Based on the number of identified patients to date, the prevalence of patients with MPS IVA appears similar to that with MPS I.

Quotes that INSPIRE

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."

“The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you”

When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly!

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!

May your Troubles be less,

Your blessings be more,

And Nothing but Happiness

come through your door.

Our suffering can make us more sensitive servants of God. People who have known pain are able to reach out with compassion to others who hurt. If you have suffered, ask God how your experience can be used to help others.

Beautiful One,
Just Believe...

Waiting may be the single hardest thing we have to do. In the Bible, waiting is closely associated with faith. Sometimes the words are used interchangeably. While we may not like it, waiting is a necessary part of the Christian life. What God does in us while we wait is as important as what it is we are waiting for. Waiting is not easy. It may bring pain. It will try us and test us. It demands patience. It exacts a price…

When our eyes are on the sunshine, the rain doesn't seem so bad. When our eyes are on the rain, even the smallest drop seems like a storm.

THE POWER OF PRAYER. I believe that God only gives three answers to prayer:

1. "Yes!"
2. "Not yet."
3. "I have something better in mind."

God still sits on the throne.You may be going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that you cannot imagine.
