God has laid something HUGE on my heart and I'm taking action!!!!
A dear friend of mine's daughter that I went to school with back in Iowa, is fighting a very long and exhausting fight to brain cancer. I have shared their blog address many times (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mcraekate), so many of you have already heard and read about her, anyways, for a few years now they have done an incredible Christmas event for the Phoenix area by doing something called Kate's Crazy Cool Christmas! Each year, by donations alone, they provide many of the families' who have little ones battling cancer with a load of Christmas gifts to bring them some cheer! Many of these families aren't even home for Christmas, but instead in the hospital celebrating with a sick one! I don't know about you, but just thinking of this puts me in my place! I can't even BEGIN to imagine going through something like this, but in spite of all the sadness, Kate's family has organized this great event to bring so happiness to some hurting families!
So, in hopes to check off some needed items requested on their list, I am going to offer two kinds of bread and donating ALL PROCEEDS to this event!!!! I am offering my Oatmeal Bread (5 mini loaves) for $10 or I'm also offering my Crescent Rolls (16/batch) for $10. To make it easier, I'm only selling in batches. These will be on a 'made to order' basis, so please e-mail me to place an order at bbaltzly@gmail.com. These breads freeze VERY WELL for up to 3 months or so! These are also great for the Holiday gatherings and parties coming up! This is an ASKING donation of $10/each, if you'd like to give more, I will just add and purchase more of the items on the list!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THIS!!!!! God bless!
UPDATE on 11/15: A few Iowa friends have asked how they can get in on this! So, I went to post office today and here's what I found! I am more than happy to ship you some bread to Iowa! Unfortunately since I am donating all the ingredients I can't cover shipping! :( But if you want to order, I found the cheapest for fastest delivery is 2-3 day priority for $10.95. For this size box, ordering two batches would be more worth your dollar! :) I'd make it an even $30 for two batches shipped! :)
$10 for 5 mini loaves of Oatmeal Bread
$10 for 16 Crescent Rolls
So, have you figured out how you are going to ship things to any of your friends and family you left here in the cold state of Iowa? :)
