For the past couple of years my dad (who owns 3 Wendy’s restaurants) has donated money to the annual Primary Children’s Radiothon in our area. This year, he invited me to take donations over the phone with him, while my mom watched the boys.
It didn’t take long for my dad to tell the lady in charge that I had experienced Primary’s for myself, and before I knew it, I was telling our story on four different radio stations. (I only cried during 3 of the interviews). We love Primary Children’s, and everyone who worked with us there. It was neat to go with my dad, for one hour, he matched any donation that came in. It was crazy to see 10 people answering ringing phones and see the increase of donations given after I shared my story on each station. There were also other families sharing their experiences at Primary’s. It was a neat experience, and talking to so many who had a connection to the hospital themselves. I asked to come back next year :)
You can watch one of the interviews {here}.The radio station recorded it.
Thank you to all who donated, and there is still time donate!

I love Primary Children's! We have had to send two newborns there for surgery and they have amazing staff.
ReplyDeleteI love this! We actually did a Pennies by the Inch Fundraiser today in our small town for Primary Children's! Our Ward's Primary Children walked from door to door asking for donations. It was wonderful and made my heart smile. Love and hugs to you Ashley! You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Ashley! I love it, and I love the enthusiasm the crowd had for you sharing your story! That's part of your purpose now!

ReplyDeleteI agree....what an amazing thing your family does to honor your Preslee and to help others who go through hard times at Primary's. I agree...I cried as I watched your dad talked about your family's experience. He has a kind heart, just like you Ashley. What a wonderful cause for those beautiful children. Every penny counts!!
