And then this girl walked past me wearing this shirt. I did a double take and it took my breath away; my eyes welled up with tears. I hadn’t seen her in this shirt since she was a toddler. She made some adjustments to make it more her style. Oh Atia, what a vision to see you so grown up in an Atia's Project Ladybug Fund shirt, this special nonprofit that helped so many pediatric cancer families along the way, in your name, and launched during your personal battle. Such an unbelievable gift! 💕 -Laura

Today, in remembrance of Atia's cancer diagnosis 8 years ago, we rejoice and honor her life, journey and health. She is a gift and a blessing. Her body is a walking testament to the tremendous care she received from Dr. Charles Rubin at Comer Children's Hospital for 2+ years (and ongoing with annual visits). We are forever grateful for the miracle of Atia's system responding so favorably to the toxic chemotherapy treatment. Thank God for her strength! Today we celebrate this precious 9 year old who faced such horrid life threatening experiences beginning at the tender age of 18 months old and continuing until she was nearly 4 years old. "Atia, Atia, we love you. You shine brighter than the the stars, the sun and the moon. You're a angel from Heaven above. You fill us up with love." (excerpt from her song)

Bringing some to the families at Comer's during the Holiday Season!

12/12/2016

Today was one our favorite days of the year!
It was Toy Drive Drop Off Day at Comer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago! There is something magical about the Holiday Season but for some families who have a child sick in the hospital during the holidays they need a little bit of help...It is our honor and privilege to help bring some of that magic back to them. We couldn't have done it without the support of generous partners Punky's Pizza & Pasta, Jean Marie Salon & Spa, James & Sons Fine Jewelers, Total Care Physicians, Ltd for being our drop off locations, to Boyer Rosene & their driver Harold for donating their truck to carry all of toys to the Hospital. And most importantly THANK YOU to everyone who dropped off, on-line shopped or monetarily donated to this years Toy Drive!!
Happy Holiday from all of us at Atia's Project Ladybug Fund!
