Sponsor Giveaways: SewCute Shop
One person will receive a Women's Auty Top from SewCute Shop (you will be able to choose your own fabric from her current stock):
Here's a little bit about SewCute Shop and Brandy's mission to do something really good for another family:
I started sewing sometime last year and fell in love. My grandmother (Nana) taught me the basics of pinning patterns, hemming, and seams. After being taught those skills I have really been a self-taught seamstress. I have a true love for putting the most trendy fabrics together and making 'SewCute' items. The items I place in SewCute Shop are my favorites and I am very happy to make them for you.
In March 2009 my best friend's little boy was suddenly diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) - a degenerative brain disease. The movie 'Lorenzo's Oil was made to bring awareness to this newly discovered disease. In early April, Joel, Teresa and Riley Greene aka TEAMGREENE were moved from Chattanooga, TN to Durham, NC where Riley would spend what they thought 100 days after receiving a bone marrow transplant. Due to complications, this week marks 133 TEAMGREENE has been in Duke Hospital.
I made a pledge to donate all proceeds from SewCute Shop to TEAMGREENE until they returned home in Chattanooga. For me sewing has become much more than just a hobby it has been a small part of what allows my best friend to stay by her son's side. For more information on TEAMGREENE visit www.carepages.com/carepages/teamgreene and create a username/password.
When I'm not sewing away I enjoy spending time with my fabulous husband, Ty and two children Autumn (9) and Tyler (2).
I had Brandy make one of these for Anna (see above) and one of these for me (love wearing it over my jeans) and they are awesome.

The American Cancer Society is where I contribute most. My mom was able to live at their Hope Lodge during radiation therapy - what a blessing this was. As others have said, there are many other worthy causes such as Food for the Poor and our local United Way.
If I win, I'd like the prize to be awarded to this child's mom.
What beautiful sewn clothing and what a worthy reason to give away the proceeds. May God bless this child and his family.

My favorite is http://www.hopesheart.org/
They supply medical/educational/basics to orphans in China. For every beautiful child you meet that has been adopted from China, thousands are still there growing up in overburdened orphanages.
www.heifer.org is also a favorite---something very tangible for my boys to save toward giving to others in need.

Everyone has mentioned fabulous charities! One of my favorite charities is the FIRST organization (http://www.usfirst.org). Their vision is "to transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes." They sponsor robotics competitions at all grade levels. As a science teacher, the FIRST organization and I share a common goal.

This charity was started by a close friend of mine's family. http://www.the-red-devils.org/
They provide a much needed service to breast cancer patients and their families in the DC area: help with the details in life like cooking and cleaning so the families have time to spend together.

One that is close to my heart is the http://www.colonclub.com/ . It is also a group for those who are 50 and under who have/had colon cancer. I spent many days sharing and receiving encouragement to and from others. Donations are always welcome! and buy their Colondar,which showcases colon cancer survivors and their stories behind their scars.

My favourite charity is Macmillan Nurses. They provide support for people with cancer. We had night nurses who would come and sit with my Dad throughout the last 6 months of his brain tumour, allowing my Mum to get decent nights sleep. They were wonderful.
