Get "Praying For Noah" magnets and bracelets!

Thanks to the generosity of 2 blog readers, we now have "Praying for Noah" magnets (pictured above)and silicone bracelets for sale!  (See bottom of page for how funds will be spent.)

The magnets are exactly as pictured above and are the size of a business card. They make a great reminder to pray for Noah and are strong enough to hold up some fridge art.

The bracelets are standard silicone wristbands similar to the Livestrong wristbands.  They all say "Praying for Noah."  They are assorted colors.  Some have regular embossing (where the letters are "carved" into the band) and others have embossing that is filled in with another color.  There are even some that glow in the dark!  It's easiest for us to choose a color for you, but if you have a VERY strong preference, please let us know and will try to accommodate you.  If we can't send the color you chose, we'll send another color unless you tell us to cancel your order if your choice isn't available.

The bracelets and the magnets are $6 each including shipping.  I know that many blog readers represent Sunday School classes, Bible study groups, and other groups - if a number of people in your group would like magnets or bracelets, it would help us if we could ship the entire order to just one person who can then distribute them.  If you want to buy several to sell yourself, that's fine but we can't send them out without payment.

TO ORDER:

Place your order via paypal to jkestes@gmail.com or by using the donate button on this page.  You must indicate what you are ordering (e.g. "Please send 3 magnets and one bracelet.") or we won't know what to send!  :-)  You can indicate this in the notes section.

You can also order by mail - just send payment to Kate Estes, 101 Sherwood Lane, Greenwood, SC 29649.  Again, be sure to indicate what you are ordering.

If Noah is hospitalized, our teens will handle the orders and shipping.  (They'll do most of it anyway.)  If we end up in a situation where we cannot manage shipping orders, we will have a trustworthy friend take over or will make a note at the top of this page that orders will be delayed.

HOW FUNDS WILL BE USED:

We've always tried to be very transparent about how we spend/use gifts sent to Noah.  We deeply appreciate every one of you who trusts us with a gift, and we take good stewardship very seriously.  As always, any straight donations/financial gifts will be spent according to the wishes of the giver - if someone says their gift is to buy something fun for Noah, or buy something for his siblings, or use towards a specific expense, we honor that if at all possible.

The money raised from the sale of bracelets and magnets will be spent as follows:

1.  Gas - it costs about $50 in gas alone every time we take Noah to the doctors in Greenville.  This is multiple times a month and can be multiple times a week!
2. Diapers - we use Tranquility Slimline adult medium breatheable style diapers.  They are soft, breatheable so he doesn't overheat, fit him well, etc. but cost $1 each. 
3. When funds allow, we will use donations to do special things for Noah such as get him a little surprise after a really hard appointment/procedure, buy new clothes for him (he outgrows ALL of his clothes every 2-3 weeks at this point due to his edema/weight gain from fluid) and actually needs bigger clothes than even his teen brothers.  "Fun" things are only done when we've covered gas and diapers.
