Our third miracle is for a single mom named Kamronn. Kamronn and her daughter Ryleigh moved to Washington a few years ago with Kamronn’s mom for a fresh start. She and her mom purchased a house together so Ryleigh could have the support she needed, as she has down syndrome. Ryleigh thrived having her Nana live with them. This past May, Kamronn’s mom unexpectedly became very ill and died shortly after. Since then, Kamronn and Ryleigh have been struggling dealing with not only grief but figuring out how to live their everyday life without Nana. A friend of Kamronn’s nominated her in hopes that we could help make their first Christmas without Nana a little easier. We heard that Ryleigh loved to sing, so we bought her the biggest Karaoke machine we could find!
For Kamronn, we bought a $250 grocery gift card and Target gift card to help with the bills. They were so surprised when we showed up! It was clear how much the gesture meant to Kamronn as she started crying. Ryleigh on the other hand was ecstatic about her new karaoke machine! She disappeared for a few minutes and then came back down with a few CDs she wanted to sing on her new karaoke machine. She told us “I’m going to sing to Nana in Heaven”. Our hearts were full as we left their house knowing that “Nana” was surely smiling down on them.
Many thanks to our presenting sponsor Walton Beverage, and our co-sponsors Craft Stove and Bellingham/Burlington Automotive for helping make these Miracles happen!
