I never met the McClenahans but stumbled upon their blog recently. Reading their heart wrenching story made me relive the 11 days I spent in the hospital with my daughter when she was born premature almost 3 years ago. Waiting. Wondering. Praying for a miracle. Just as the McClenahans did. We had the same hope of bringing our baby home healthy. And as they were waiting, and praying for their miracle which seems to be the only thing you can do when your child is in the hospital, they lost their sweet baby girl, Cora Paige. On February 8th, their little angel made the journey to heaven after losing her short battle with cancer.
Three weeks before Cora passed they were a carefree family raising a beautiful daughter with many hopes and dreams for her future. And now they are raising funds to build a playground at their church in honor of Cora who never made it to her 1st birthday. The McClenehans had so much faith through their ordeal and is relying on that faith to get them through such a difficult time.
In honor of Cora and her family's strength, I joined the Cora Paige Etsy Project to help this amazing family raise money to build a playground at their church dedicated to Cora. Check out the hundreds of items on Etsy with proceeds going to benefit the playground.
To date, there are over 120 shops who have come together to honor the short life of a beautiful little girl who has touched so many hearts. Final donations will be accepted on March 5, the day she would have celebrated her first birthday.
