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~
