Love Karina Benefit Dinner: A Grand Success!

On Thursday, September 18th, we held Karina's benefit dinner. From the second we walked through the doors we were just blown away by how wonderful everything was. Things were happening at every turn and in the middle of it all was Karina's godmother, Lina Russo orchestrating the event like a seasoned veteran. The attention to detail and overall setup was a sight to behold.


More importantly, the people.... we were so very touched by everyone there. You could feel the love in the room. Family members, friends and even people we've never even met before came to show their support. Amazing.


Because of everyone's support, we are now able to provide Karina with the special services and medications she will need moving forward.

All we can say is THANK YOU. Thank you for giving our daughter a chance to receive the specialized care she needs.

Karina's First Birthday!

Karina celebrated her first birthday on September 5th. Everyone had a nice time at her party and Karina was happy. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend (despite the bad weather) and we also look forward to seeing everyone at the benefit dinner next week.

I can't believe that the dinner is almost here. The response and support has been overwhelming but very much appreciated. Words can't express how thankful we are to everyone involved in any way.

I created this short video with some of the highlights of her first year. Please take a minute to watch the video and drop us a note on this blog. We would really like to hear from you. :-)
