CHARITY CROP




Crop Paper Scissors is having a charity crop Saturday August 18th it is from 11:00 am - 11:00 pm ..... 12 hours of cropping to benefit a great organization!! The Shriners Hospital for children. The cost is $20 and all proceeds will go the the Shriners organization. There will also be a silent auction of hand crafted items & other suprises. Call 743-2014 for a reserved seat!
My son Jayton who is 5yrs old was born with a bilateral cleft lip & palate. Meaning his lip was split in two spots and he did not have a palate whats so ever. When Jayton was born the cleft was a total surprise and we were not prepared, we were scared about what the future would hold for our precious little guy. However, a miracle happened and the local Shriners contacted us and said they wanted to help Jayton. That day was the beginning of many 'wonderfuls' for Jayton. When Jayton was 3 months old we travelled to the Portland Shriners hospital and he had his first surgery. His first repair was on his lip, gumline and hard palate. The next major surgery was when Jayton was 12 months and this was to repair his soft palate. Jayton will have many more surgeries in the years to come. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for what the Shriners have done for Jayton and our family. They are a wonderful organization with specatular physicians and a staff with huge hearts. This crop is just a small step to say thanks to the Shriners for what they do, not only for Jayton, but for ALL the children they provide support to.
