We are 1/4 of the way there!




This week was a big one. We are now over the 500 mark! That does not include accessories of which we have three large totes full. So, only 1,500 to go before April. Amazing! Thank you all for donating to this very important cause. I have enjoyed the phone calls and emails from those wanting to deliver costumes in person. I've been able to meet up and hug several people this week that I have only known by their names online.

If you would like to mail costumes, you can certainly do so using the P.O. address on the "How to Help" tab. Or if you live anywhere in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I am more than willing to drive and pick up donations in person.

The best part about this is going through all the costumes and imagining little boys and girls with bald heads and IV poles not caring about that for just a bit because they are the superhero or princess of the day. I see Alexa in every pretty dress up thing and know that she'd be incredibly happy sharing her love of dress up with so many other children like her.

We have gotten a great response to those wanting to help. Thank you! In the near future we will be adopting board of directors, advisory board members and a volunteer list. If you would like to join in the cause of helping kids be kids, please email me at princessalexafoundation@gmail.com. The first informational meeting will be held Tuesday, November 25th at 7pm in Richardson.

Congratulations on a great start! Alexa would be so proud. I know she'd love to see all of these kiddos in costumes. The Foundation is a wonderful tribute to Alexa.
