This is Bailey. She is a 4th grader at our local school. She has osteoporosis and has had a bone marrow transplant in hopes of making her life better. Our community has rallied behind this little girl and her family and has built them a new home! Sort of like Extreme Home Makeover on a less grand scale….but no less impressive! You can read about Bailey’s story here: Team Bailey
A few years ago, the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted her wish for a swimming pool. However, when the house rebuild began, the pool had to come down. Bailey will be coming home to her new house very soon and the project leaders wanted her to know that her pool will be coming back—just not until summer. So they asked me to paint a sign. It will go in the yard. It will definitely catch her attention because it is BRIGHT!
Just a little side note—there is proof that every once in a while good things do indeed happen to good people—the woman who started Team Bailey and has worked tirelessly in this effort was invited to be on Oprah’s Favorite Things show! I can’t think of anyone who deserved it more!
