I have never been on TV before and I hope that it will help me complete my NEW goal...WHICH IS NOW $5,000.00 by my next bithday on October 11, 2013!
 
 
My brother, my mom and I went door to door to collect money for the kids.
It was fun that it was pouring RAIN! I felt bad for the reporter and camera man though!


My Trip to Children's on November 1, 2012

 

 Me in front of Children's Hospital on November 1, 2012, with my handmade check before I went in to give them the donation.
 
 My parent's, Jamie and Jay were really excited to share this experience with me and my brother's Jaxon and Morgan got to come with me too. My sisters had to stay at home and go to school.
 
 

Helen and me looking through the cards that I made for the kids.

 
 I gave Helen, the volunteer coordinator, the big check of $2,708.50. She was really blown away that a young girl like me would give up my birthday for kids that have cancer.
My mom and me after I gave my donation.
 




I couldn't believe how big the hospital was.  I enjoyed learning about how it started.  It was bright and colorful and they had a lot of fun animals throughout the entire place.
My favorite was the ZEBRA! I love Zebra print!
They had a train that went around the top of the wall.
 It doesn't run anymore though.
My 2nd grade teacher and my mom's friend, Anne came with us.  She use to volunteer at Children's when she was in college at U of W.
This is Miss Anne putting my Star on me that I got to make in the Child Life Play Room.
This is me in the elevator. They had fun colored pictures painted on the walls.
 

Me walking through the hospital on our way home thinking back on the day that I had. I realized that
the kids in the hospital do not focus on having cancer. It is their normal to have to go and get treatments. I am sure that they have a peace because they know that some day they will get better and be able to explore the world like I get to. It made me realize again how lucky I am and blessed to have the life that I have!

Chloe's Class helps her raise Money


Chloe's teacher, Mrs. Petersen, is excited to help Chloe reach her goal and is so proud of her efforts to raise money for Children with Cancer. 

 
 Chloe's class has raised over $118.00  in one week!  They are all hoping that Chloe not only reaches her goal but doubles or triples it!

Chloe Goes Door to Door Collecting Coins

 
Chloe was asked what she wanted to do after school on her birthday and she thought it would be a good idea to go door to door and try to collect spare change to add to her cause. Chloe raised over $57.00 and was excited to add that to her collection for Children's.


 
 
 
Chloe standing outside of her own door and enjoying a Ding Dong that she was given by one of the places that she stopped asking for spare change.  She was amazed by people's generosity and is excited to continue collecting money for "her friends fighting cancer".

Chloe Being Recognized at a School Assembly

Chloe was recognized at her school assembly  on her 11th birthday for displaying effort and setting a good example for her peers. Her teacher Mrs. Petersen presented the award to her.


Chloe was asked if it was hard to give up her birthday and the gifts and she simply said yes it is hard but it is worth it. :)

Getting the Money on my Birthday from the Bank.


I went to the Bank on my Birthday...
 
 And turned in all of the money that I still had to turn in.
 I waited for the teller to get all of my money out of my account and make a Cashier's Check written to Children's Hospital. 
 Mom took my pictures outside of the bank with the Cashier's Check.
 
I was so excited! I took the Cashier's Check and added it to the Checks made out to Children's and then made my own check so they knew the total amount that I raised.

Now Accepting PayPal Donations :)


Coins for Chloes Kids with Cancer

Hi, my name is Chloe Silver, and I am a 10 year old fourth grader in the Mount Vernon School District.  I have decided to donate my birthday to kids with cancer at Children’s Hospital in Seattle.  You see, I am inspired by kids with Cancer who are not allowed to have the “normal” life that I have been blessed with.  I have everything that I need so that is why I have chosen to raise money to help them with their medical treatment that they need to get back to their life before cancer.  I was inspired by a story that I heard last year from a guest speaker that came to my church.  He told me about a girl named Rachel Beckwith who decided to give up her 9th birthday to raise money for fresh drinking water wells in Africa.  He said Rachel wanted to raise $300.00 and when she was $80.00 short of her goal she was in a really bad car accident. Well the night before he told that story, Rachel went to live with Jesus.  I knew at that moment that I wanted to give up my birthday for kids with Cancer.  I thought about it for a long time and decided it was the right thing to do.  I explained to my mom what I wanted to do and I told her that I was a little scared because I didn’t know if I was ready to die yet.  I thought that in order to give up my birthday that I would have to die like Rachel did.  My mom told me that it doesn’t work that way but what I realized is if Jesus is ready for me to go live with Him, then I am ready to go.  So would you please help me help my friends at Children’s Hospital? For my birthday month (October) all of the money that I receive will be donated to the Cancer division at Children’s Hospital in Seattle.  I would love it if you would help me! I have a goal of $1000.00.  So if you want to help please make checks/money orders payable to: Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation or Coins for Chloe. You can contact my mom Jamie for more information at coinsforchloe@yahoo.com or make a deposit at any Union Bank location by simply telling them that you want it to go into the coins for Chloe account. If you want, you can visit my blog too at coinsforchloe’skidswithcancer@blogspot.com Thank you!  ~CHLOE~
