I ordered Business Cards to go into socks!


So I just got done ordering business cards
I paid $3.75 for 500 cards on vistaprint (but I did have to pay for faster shipping since I need them fast!)

I am going to put a card in each pair of socks that go out to children!

It lists the website and the email address so the families that receive socks can visit us!
That way they can visit the blog and know how much we pray and care for them!

BIG NEWS!


I heard back from Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and they said:

"Our Hutch School would love 20 pairs (students ages K-12th grade) and our pediatric transplant clinic would love 50 pairs (toddler to teen sizes).  I am not sure what quantity you had in mind, so please let us know.  The staff were very excited about this."

Guess what....we have 80 pairs of silly socks (I must of miscounted earlier) 
and SCCA wants/needs 70!

Boys socks (kids shoe size 9-2.5) - 10pair
Boys slippers (kids shoe size 5/6) - 4 pair
Girls socks (kids small shoe size 9-13) - 18 pair
Girls slippers (kids S/M shoe size 8-13) - 6 pair
Girl slippers (kids M/L shoe size 13-5) - 9 pair
Girl socks (kids M/L shoe size 13-5) - 16 pair
Woman tube  socks -(size 4-10) - 3 pair
Woman socks (one size) - 14 pair


How cool is that!

Please keep the silly socks coming in!

We are in real need of boy silly socks
 and toddler girl/boy sizes 

If you would like to mail silly socks
please email me at:
Sarahssillysocks@gmail.com
for information 

There are more places in mind to donate, and I would like to keep the silly socks coming in for SCCA so we can replenish a few times a year!

I hope to get pictures and feedback from the patients if they will allow to show you all the smiles:)

Thank you all for all your donations and prayers....Sarah would be so happy!

Love you all

Were almost ready to launch!

HOLD ON!

We are one step closer to getting these socks out the cute little children battling cancer!

I got an email today from Seattle Cancer Care alliance volunteer services saying their child life specialist has been out of the office and will return with in a few days. She said the principal of the Hutch School (for child patients and siblings) are very interested in receiving socks!

I am waiting to hear how we will work out the arrangements! I am so excited!

Thanks for all your donations, thoughts, and prayers!

Update on donations site!


I have emailed Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and they have forwarded my email to the volunteer coordinator.

Sarah spent some time at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and they have over 200 children ages 0-18 come in and out each year.

Once I hear from the coordinator we will come up with a plan on how to donate the socks.

I know when my son was admitted to Sweedish hospital in Seattle to have his appendix out he got a quilt donated from a lady...I am wondering if every 3 months we could drop off socks and when a new cancer patient checks in they are able to give them the socks? Or we may have to bring them ourselves? I wouldn't mind handing them out to the kiddos:)

Still learning how this all works!

If anyone has ideas or knows how some of these processes works PLEASE LET ME KNOW:)

You can either reply to this post or send and email to sarahssillysocks@gmail.com

Excited to move forward:)
