Alana's Gift

04/11/2026

April 11th, 28 years ago today, our lives changed forever when you went to be with Jesus, my sweet Alana. I wake with the memories of you and I go to bed thinking about you. Time only makes me miss you more. Mommy loves you sweet Angel.

Happy Heavenly birthday sweet Alana. You should be turning 33 years old today but you are forever 5. I know I am not alone when I say you are missed beyond measure. I will miss you everyday until I see you again in Heaven. My sweet, sweet girl. I love you forever.

This photo was taken on her 5th birthday. We never ever ever think it will be their last birthday. I still cant believe it was hers. I love and treasure this picture but it also makes me sad knowing it is the last one.

Hold your babies tight and be proud to be able to see them grow and learn and live life.

Save my spot Angel. I love you. I can only imagine how beautiful birthdays are in Heaven.

I truly enjoyed visiting with my friend and long time supporter, Kevin Carey with Mountain Movers Facades. Their donation of three bags of stuffed animals will comfort many children. I am grateful for Kevin's friendship and support Thank you for all you do!

Yesterday’s mystery donation was a shock. Today when I came home from work I was speechless - this is what I saw! THANK YOU to the person who sent these. No name or cards have been found in any of the boxes. 🙏❤️🧸

Wow! Today Amazon delivered 10 boxes of brand new stuffed animals from an anonymous donor. Your selfless generosity is a shining example of hope and inspiration to me personally and our mission. Thank you to the compassionate individual who is making a profound impact on the lives of children, your kindness is a blessing that will be cherished forever. ❤️

Thank you to the Kiwanis Builders Club at Mary Orr Intermediate School for doing a stuffed animal drive (two years in a row). This year they worked very hard and collected 181 stuffed animals from their classmates. 181 children’s lives will be touched by these amazing kiddos.

To our faithful followers…I have been receiving messages from Facebook that there was an inappropriate message on our page and they are going to shut down our Alana’s Gift page. (Of course there was not)

I have disputed this and asked for a review as of last week I am still getting the messages as of today so i am not sure whats goung to happen to this page.

I truly hope this is not true but if you cannot find us on Facebook you can find us on LinkedIn at http://linkedin.com/in/denice-bennett-803935214 and on the web at https://alanasgift.org/. I can be reached by email at [email protected] anytime.

Thank you all for your support and love!

God bless!
