A view of the yard sale area

Wow!  What a weekend.  My friend Kristen organized a Family Fun Yard Sale for Saturday morning up in PA.  She has been an incredible source of support and encouragement for me.  And she really wanted to do something to help our family.  Kristen and her friends Alicia & Tracey, decided to put together an event to raise money for "A Hundred for a Home".  They did an unbelievable amount of work and the yard sale was a HUGE success.  Not only did they sell tables for people to sell their items.  They sold delicious food (hotdogs, BBQ, popcorn, chips, drinks, cotton candy and Oliver's favorite soft pretzels) and had a bake sale table.  They had face painting for the kids and games.  They also had a bunch of local businesses donate items for an auction.  Kristen made a beautiful display with the kids' photos, our story, and information about MPS.  All of the volunteers wore purple t-shirts and they had purple ribbons to give out to everyone.

Matt and I took the kids and spent 6 hours seeing old friends and meeting new ones.  We just walked around introducing everyone to Waverly & Oliver.  They are my little ambassadors for MPS.  We were talking with people the entire time and we both felt an extraordinary sense of love & support.

We were also able to meet another MPS family.  Tyler and his family came up from Hershey.  His mom and I have written back and forth, and they decided to drive up to take part in the day.  There is a very special connection among the Sanfilippo families and it was a highlight of my day to spend time with them.  We can't wait to visit with them soon and spend some quality time together.

They were able to raise over $9000 for AHFAH!!!  And they were able to raise awareness for MPS.  It truly was amazing.

I want to say THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who came out to support our family.  The Community Warriors and Faith Church members, who gave up their Saturday to help put together such a great day.  Tracey & Alicia for all of their hard work heading up this big project.  And especially to Kristin, her husband Brian, and the rest of her family...thank you for giving us one of the most special days, for showering us with love and support, and for allowing the community to meet and be impacted by Waverly & Oliver.
