The Super Nash Fund is something I feel very humbled to write about. Ever since Nash was born, we have had a lot of support from people. What surprised us was the people who wanted to help financially. Family members have offered and some friends as well. I am a hairstylist and I even had clients giving me "extra tips" for Nash. Chris and I were accumulating money for our little guy and decided we should start a savings account. So we did! We named it the 'Super Nash Fund' and it has been growing little by little over the last year or so. A few months ago, the girls at my salon approached me and asked if they could do a Fundraiser for us. Honestly, I was surprised and kind of uncomfortable. I wasn't sure about it and it was just so foreign to have something so generous done for us. They were all so excited, so we agreed! All the girls and I had t-shirts made that said "STYLIN' FOR SUPER NASH" with a picture of him on the front and a Super Nash "N" on the back. We all wore the shirts once a week between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I made a flier about Nash describing his condition and what his future holds (as far as surgeries and lengthenings). We put them at each station so the girls could tell their clients about our little hero. I actually loved hearing all of the girls tell our story. I just felt so loved and could tell they truly cared. The whole fundraiser was such a success and our little account began to grow! Its a wonderful feeling to know that people care and want to help us. We have a good start to saving the money needed for this long journey. We are Grateful beyond words.

"Styling for Super Nash"
All my salon girls :)
THANK YOU!!! |
Since the Fundraiser at the salon, we have had other donations as well. One significant donation was from the Pella Business Women from Pella, IA. My mom is currently the president of this group and the members decided to make a donation to Super Nash Fund. What a blessing that was too!
All of this has shown Chris and I the amazing generosity of people around us and we are truly thankful. It has been such a great feeling and we hope to be able to pay it forward to others.
Thank You Everyone!!
