[~*~Michelle~*~]

You're very welcome, Kara

 

[GoofTroop79]

How Sad, I will be sending extra prayers their way. If there is anything i can do for the family please let me know. I would be happy to create some designs for them.

Hi Guys,

I am also over on the sewing board, and Im going to make the family mickey head tshirts (and Isabelle some shorts to match). There is a friend going with them that is a mom and her 2 children - a girl Jaslyn age 6 and a boy age 2. When I get all of the names and favorite characters, I was going to ask for Mickey head designs for them from you all over here!!! I have been in touch with akasunshine to ask her those questions so I can then make the shirts!!!

Wendy

Thank you, Thank you to everyone who has helped this wonderful family. We are still in need of items for Isabelle's gift basket if any one wants to help but doesn't know what to do.

 

[karajeboo]

I told my DD7 about this and she wants to help too. I have the Epcot passport done, so just let me know anything else I could send for the gift basket!

I am putting my items together and will put them in the mail after I get back from my trip if that's OK.

Thank you, Thank you to everyone who has helped this wonderful family. We are still in need of items for Isabelle's gift basket if any one wants to help but doesn't know what to do.

I would like to help with things for the gift basket. Do I mail them to you so you can make the basket first or what? Please let me know and I will pick up some things.

 

[VMK_Mouse]

Just wanted to say that what everybody is doing for this family is amazing. My heart hurts reading about their loss.

I am very creative with my hands, but not so much on the PC. If I can help in any way, please let me know.

 

[Plantlady]

I plan on getting the Disney activity book out in the mail today!

 

[Debbie6221]

I am going to ship a WDW coloring book, a castle jibbitz and some LGMHs if that sounds good.

 

[newtodis]

I was at Michael's last night picking up some stuff and they have a ton of different princess-y things. I could certainly go back and pick some up if they're needed. I'm just catching on the dis-ign thing but I've been folling the PTR-it's heartbreaking. I couldn't imagine the strength this family has! If you've got enough for the basket and start collecting for the headstone as well, please let me know. Our family would be willing to donate for that as well. After all that, this family needs a proper memorial for such a special boy.

 

[tcuplvr]

Again, I want to thank everyone for all their help. If you would like to donate to the gift basket, anything Disney for a 5 year old girl is great!!! If you PM I will give you the address where to send it. Also, if you would like to donate to Levi's headstone PM me and I can give you the information for that as well. I just can't thank everyone enough for what you have done for this family.

to you all.

Bonnie

Hi Everyone....my name is Beth and I am the one who started the BIG GIVE for the Winkler family. I am sorry it has taken me so long to get over here and properly thank all of you. I have been busy working on a website for Alicia in Levi's honor.

All of you are so kind and thoughtful to want to help. You have no idea how even the smallest of gestures can make a world of difference in the lives of the Winklers. Even though Alicia and I have never met in real life, we have become very close friends and talk almost daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Alicia is am amazing woman and I admire her strength and courage. The loss they have suffered is beyond what any parent should have to suffer. Levi was a gorgeous baby boy who was loved and cherised by his family. My heart just aches for all of them. If we can make them smile, even for just a few minutes than it is all worth it to me.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND KINDNESS. YOU ARE ALL AMAZING AND I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!

 

[MouseTriper]

ATTENTION BIG GIVERS……

Baby Levi still does NOT have a headstone. Please, please, please click on the link below to find out why. It is a new website created for Levi. All prayers greatly appreciated!!!

tcuplvr - I just want to thank you again for posting the information about the BIG GIVE over here on this board. You are so sweet to be helping me with everything. I finally have the website up and running. You are a true sweetie!

What a beautiful idea and so thoughtful to lift up a family..I remember reading about Levi...so sad..if there is something other than designing and sewing, that others can do please post it..thank you..I have as much creativity as you..

Hi there...you are so kind. Thank you so much. If you are interested, I just posted the website where donations could be sent to help with the cost of Levi's headstone. Or if you wanted to do something else, I am collecting goodies like snacks and candies and Disney items that I will be making into a basket. I will ship the basket to their hotel at WDW. This part is a surprise for the Winklers. I don't have much for the basket at all yet. Please feel free to PM me. Thanks again.

I am so sorry for this family's loss. I remember making a LGMH for aksunshine several months ago. I will remember this family in my prayers for sure. I did these in case you can use them in some way.

Aww thank you, Alicia said they need all the prayers people can give them. It is a tough time right now for them, with this news about Levi's headstone. Your designs are wonderful. Thank you so much.

My heart goes out to this family. I would never want to imagine losing my son.I would be willing to do an autograph book or passpot. I would just need one of the designers to do a cover since Michelle is not around. Please let me know what you need and wear I can send it.You can feel free to pm me the info.

Aww you are such a sweetie too, thank you. If tcuplvr has not gotten back to you, please PM me about the address.

i just wanted to add my support, what a brave family, could i send some chocolates and stuff from the uk?
not very disigner i know, but the little girl and her parents deserve lots of pixie dust.
Tracy

Oh YESSSS chocolates and other stuff from the UK would be awesome. I know it will be hot in Aug/Sept but I want to put yummy treats in their basket that they can munch on in the hotel room as well. Alicia told me that they will have a refrigerator so I think chocolate will be fine. Besides, who can go on vacation without eating chocolate????? PM me if you need the address.

This is so sad my heart goes out to them. I am no good with sewing but I am sending my prayers.

Thank you SOOO much for your prayers!!!!! You are a doll.

My heart just hurts thinking about their loss!

Ohh those are all sooo wonderful. Thank you so much for doing that. Let me know if you need the adrress. How kind fo you!!!

If someone will make the cover, I'll be more than happy to print out and mail the Epcot passport! I originally used Pat's designs to make ours, so not sure how to do the cover personalized!

I think it's wonderful that everyone is doing this - I cannot even begin to imagine the pain this family is going through!

Ohh and an Epcot passport sounds so cool. Thank you so much!!! Feel free to PM me if you need the address.

I will defininitely be sending my WDW items out to Beth!

Hi Debbie....thank you so much, that is wonderful!!!! You are a sweetie!

I just finished making an activity book for my boys. I can put one together for them as well.

Hi there... I received your activity book yesterday!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I know Isabelle is gonna love it because my DD did and she is just a little younger than Isabelle. I had to explain to her that it was not for her. LOL. Thank you so much!!! It is awesome!!!

I am currently working on a journal for my DS. If nobody is doing a journal for Isabelle, I would be honored to do one for her.
I think I have their ADRs from the pre-trippie Alicia posted, but if you have a list of these, I would be pleased to see it and ensure that I haven't missed anything.
I live in the UK so if anybody can PM me the family's postal address, I will post the completed journal to this brave little girl.
If anybody already has a journal in the pipeline, that's fine as I am sure that there are Disigners out there whose talents are far greater than mine!!!!
Let me know if you would like me to do this

A jouranal would be awesome too...you guys are all so sweet. Please PM me if you have not received the address yet. Thank you so MUCH!!!!

If you pm the address I will send a few things for her basket and some Disney Dollars ..

God Bless the family :

Please let me know if tcuplvr has not sent you the address yet. I would be happy to get it to you. Thank you so very much!!!! This is wonderful!!!

dh disigned this if you like it ill print it and send it to you.
Trcay

Oh how cute!!! You guys are so kind. THANK YOU!!!

You kind of have to search for the things that people have made for Isabelle on the Disboutique thread - they are a very active bunch over there but here is just one example

and here are some photos of Isabelle with the first outfit she received:

I just want everyone to know that when I log on and see all the responses to my posts that it brings tears to my eyes. I have only been a member of the Dis for a couple of months but the generosity of the members of these boards in particular this one and the Disboutiquers just amazes me.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to send me a PM.

Thank you again to everyone!!!



Bonnie

All this generosity has brought me to tears as well. When I first had the BIG GIVE idea I was not sure anyone would want to participate but boy did it take off like crazy....I am sooo happy, it really makes me feel good to be able to help the Winklers. This whole thing has changed my life for sure!!!!!

I personalized Pat's for you Here's the link

Hiya Wendy....I am still waiting to hear back from Alicia on this other family. She is supposed to call me this afternoon and I will be sure to remind her that I need this infor as well. You are so sweet!!

I told my DD7 about this and she wants to help too. I have the Epcot passport done, so just let me know anything else I could send for the gift basket!

Awww God bless your little DD. That is so sweet of her. As far as the gift basket goes, I have nothing yet as far as snacks or goodies. I am hoping to include candies, chocolates, and salty treats or crackers and anything else tasty. LOL Things they could munch on in their hotel room or take into the park with them! You are such a kind person, thank you. PM me if you need the address.

I am putting my items together and will put them in the mail after I get back from my trip if that's OK.

That is wonderful, again you guys are all amazing me. Thank you so much!!!

I would like to help with things for the gift basket. Do I mail them to you so you can make the basket first or what? Please let me know and I will pick up some things.

I am collecting all the items for the gift basket and then I will ship it all out to their hotel at WDW for their arrival. Feel free to PM me for the address. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much. You could help with the gift basket or you could click on the link I posted earlier and help donate for Levi's headstone. Or you could just say some extra prayers for the Winklers. Thank you so much for being so sweet and kind!!!!

I am going to ship a WDW coloring book, a castle jibbitz and some LGMHs if that sounds good.

Ohh that sounds wonderful. Tahnk you so much!!!

I have only got a couple things for the basket so far and none of it is edible...LOL. Here is the website you could go to if you wanted to donate for Levi's headstone!! www.leviwinkler.bravehost.com I could NOT agree with you more...Levi needs a proper headstone!!! Please read the story of why he does not have one yet. It just breaks my heart!!! Thank you so much!!

Hi Everyone...I received some Disney items from both Marilyn P. from New York and Gail K. from WI. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! All these items are amazing and Isabelle is going to freak with excitement when she sees them in her surprise basket delivered to WDW.

I am not sure who you guys are so if you could please PM me your DIS names I can properly thank you. I also want to be able to give Alicia this information as well (after she receives the goodies basket). Thank you so much for being a part of the BIG GIVE! You are so sweet and generous!
