The following excerpt from my daily e-devotional was fitting for yesterday's past dinner fundraiser. In The Prayer of Jabez devotional book, Bruce Wilkinson writes, "It doesn't matter whether you are short of money, people, energy, or time. What God invites you to do will always be greater than the resources you start with."

The pasta dinner fundraiser, organized by the teachers, staff and families at KinderCare, began with the thoughtfulness of a few teachers who took such good care of Owen. At the time they didn't have all the resources they needed, but through their tireless efforts they secured donations to ensure the success of the fundraiser. Everything for the fundraiser was donated - everything, which speaks volumes to the amount of effort of those involved. The church hall, dj, food, beverages, raffle prizes (which included the coveted Coach sunglasses) - all donated! A tremendous amount of energy and time were also donated. We sincerely thank all those who donated or were involved in any aspect of the fundraiser.

The event itself was so enjoyable. It was nice to see many of Owen's friends and other Kindercare families. Owen enjoyed being the guest of honor! His photos were on the center of each table. His picture was on the tops of cupcakes. He was the focus of lots of posters and cards! Those who organized the fundraiser made every effort to make Owen and us feel very special. We truly can't thank everyone enough. The efforts of all those involved raised just over $2700 for Owen in the event that he needs treatment, to travel for more opinions, etc. The event left me teary-eyed and forever grateful!
