I knew that when my $Million sales stamp set made it's debut, I wanted to do something helpful with it. In praying about what organization I wanted to support, a need arose with my son and his family. Tyler is in need of a remodel of his bathroom and an outside ramp for accessibility with a wheelchair or his scooter. At this point, it's only when he develops a fever and his legs become paralyzed. We pray that doesn't worsen but with MS, you never know.
More details about Tyler's disability progression below

Below is my $Million Stamp Set that I am so honored to have designed with the help of my Stampin' Up! artist, Kathy Pitt, who was amazing to work with!
I was so grateful to honor my Savior who came as a baby, the sinless Son of God, then went to the cross to die for my sins so that I could be free and cared for by our Good Shepherd. He truly is everything to me and I want to make sure everyone knows that He cares for them too, so much that He took everyone's sin on himself.
The deadline to sign up for any of the options is August 30th.
The In Person option will close when full.
More about Tyler and Steph:
Tyler had his first MS episode at age 19. Formally diagnosed at age 22 after a second episode of blindness and a spinal MRI following many previous MRI's showing lesions on the brain. He married our lovely daughter-in-law, Steph in 2016. They’ve given us 3 wonderful grandsons! Despite years of aggressive therapies, his disease continues to progress leading to less mobility and a need to make their home handicapped accessible. Needs include an outside ramp and a total bathroom remodel to be able to reach the shower from a wheelchair....commode is now blocking the way.
He never complains and she does all the things a normal dad would do, like haul all the kids stuff to the car and back, carry the baby trappings, and sooo much more. He is a stay at home dad and with the birth of their youngest son, Bo, they figured out a way for him to get the baby from one room to another...a pram.
Tyler gets around on a scooter outside for most things. They have a 4 wheeler for when he and the boys go to the creek or hunting. He is able to do the mowing and the boys are growing up and are a great help! I’m so proud of how active he is with his boys and we are so blessed that he fell in love with and married Steph, a beautiful and dedicated help-meet who embodies ‘for better or worse’.
My greatest desire is to help their lives become a bit less stressful and worrisome. Thank you so much for helping me help them!
Donations can also be accepted if you prefer not to participate in the event but would like to help...you can do so in the event Register!
And here's a card we did for class in September, I believe, with the Winterly Tree Tops!
