Dylan's benefit!

What a heart-warming surprise!!!!! We were told there would be a benefit in Dylan's honor one week before the benefit. There were probably 400 people that came to Dylan's fundraiser. Everyone we knew was there, as well as people that we didn't know, that just wanted to come and show their love and support for our little man. One boy, CJ, came to the benefit with his mom and got to personally meet Dylan. CJ heard Dylan's story, and came with a box full of his own money that he wanted Dylan to have. Being surrounded by all of our friends and family, as well as people we don't know, but who have a spot in their hearts for Dylan, has lifted our spirits in so many ways.

Dylan and Gracie both stayed at the benefit until 10:30 p.m., and Evan stayed with us until 11:30!

Donations continue to roll in. The benefit so far has raised nearly $31,000.00! The support for Dylan and our family is absolutely amazing, warms our hearts, lifts away a huge financial strain, and also helps us to know there are so many people on this journey with us.
