What is Cupcakes for Braydee ?
For those of you who did not have the opportunity to follow cupcakes for Braydee, I will give you a tour of what we are all about. Jeremiah and I have some dear friends who gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Braydee. She was born with very serious heart defects. She had many surgeries and fought through them all with amazing strength you would not expect from someone in her oh-so small body. While Braydee was in the hospital I had the incredible opportunity to start a fundraiser in her behalf to help the Nestor family pay for growing medical expenses. I would take cupcake orders weekly and donate the proceeds to the Nestor's.
On September 3rd 2012, Braydee passed away. In Braydee's short time with us on the earth she inspired many, as do her incredible Mother and Father continue to inspire and encourage others. I wanted to continue baking but wanted to remain sensitive to Braydee's memory. After talking with Brittney and Matt they were so encouraging about letting me continue, they have given me an amazing gift of continuing baking in Braydee's name and in her memory. This time the proceeds will go to a different family who is also expecting very large medical expenses in the near future.
Jeremiah and I are in the process of starting the process of Surrogacy. It is our goal to complete our forever family, and it is not possible without the use of a surrogate to carry our angel to us. I am going to be selling cupcakes every Friday and donating the proceeds to the Barkley Family Surrogacy Fund. At the beginning of each week I will announce which flavor I will have that Friday and how many orders will be available. Then on Friday I will let you know what time they will be available for pick up.
Thank you all for your support. If you have further questions email me through this blog. Or if you would like to read our Surrogacy blog please visit www.thebarkleyskangaroopouch.blogspot.com
