Jess and I were looking at exactly how much we've spent for Delaney's stuff. This includes deductible, co-insurance, medication, bracing, adaptive equipment, gas, trips to visit far off doctors, special socks to go under braces, special shoes to go over braces, special creams, special soaps, special toys, and now we are needing to get a different carseat because of tone issues in her current seat. The amount that we've spent over the last 8-9 months for medical stuff that our insurance didn't cover is nearly $5,000! That doesn't even include the other stuff we've had to get. We have also met another little girl through a CP board who lives in another state. She has all the exact same issues occurring at all the same times. We've love for the two girls to meet sometime to know they aren't alone. Delaney sure loves skyping her.
We have decided to have a benefit garage sale and bake sale. We are asking our friends and family for donations of "stuff" that we could sell at the garage sale. We are also asking for baked goods or baked goods supplies that we can bake ourselves. Finally if none of those sound like something you or your family could do we'd love to have guests at our garage sale to make purchases and say hello!
Our garage sale will be the last weekend in June. If you can make a donation of any kind please email me (if you know it) or post a comment and I will get back to you. We can come pick stuff up or you can drop stuff off.
After the garage sale anything that does not sell will either be donated to the Goodwill or a local shelter/food pantry.

I wish I would have known. I would have given you all our garage sale stuff that didn't sell on Saturday. I offered it on Craigslist. You mmay want to check there for "garage sale leftovers". People would love it if you hauled off thier stuff and used it for a good cause such as Delaney! : ) If I have anything else I will let you know.
