Our Story – who we are and why we do this…
Our love of God and our son Ethan, who was diagnosed in 2001, at age eleven, with a lesion (AVM – Arterial Venus Malformation) in the center of his brain. Following surgery, he suffered a stroke leaving him in need of complete rehabilitation and around the clock attention. Wende (Mom) quit her job as a school teacher to stay home with our, by then, two children, and to be there for Ethan during his recovery. During this time Wende started making sand crosses and selling them to friends, family and at craft shows. Our crosses have turned into a blessing for us and others, and have given us the ability to fund ongoing medical treatments. With many prayers and the grace of God, our son is fighting, and he seems to be winning. He is still undergoing periodic Gamma Knife radiation at Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas.
We would like to thank everyone for their help and support. We also want you to know that portions of our proceeds go to Ronald McDonald House of Houston, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Children’s Miracle Network, and Make-a-Wish Foundation as they have all been instrumental in our son’s recovery process.
It is our sincere hope that you know you are blessed, as we know we are, and that you remember to pass it on each and every day.
