AniYiah's Lemonade Stand


Congratulations to AniYiah Miller on her 1st Lemonade Stand. Along with her family and SOL friends she raised $289.84 for her chosen charity, Preemie Prints! Thanks to the sponsors: Wal-Mart, Chick-Fil-A, Party City, Mardels, Hobby Lobby, and most importantly Pastor, Dr. Kenneth Skelton & Cookie Skelton and the SOL family. Also special thank you to Rebecca Nicholson (Red's Great Grandmother). 

AniYiah was born April 24, 2008, to Mr. and Mrs. LeMardre Miller. AniYiah weighed only 3lbs 6oz. Today she is a healthy and lovable "miracle" baby girl. She loves to dance, cook, sing, and play with her friends. AniYiah attends Pre K and serves as a greeter for her classroom.

Her favorite subjects in school are math, spanish, and recess.

A JOB WELL DONE ANIYIAH MILLER!

This fundraiser warms my heart in more ways than one! Who would have thought that a little girl, born too early, would be giving back to a preemie charity a few short years later. I'll never forget the first phone call I received from AniYiah's mom when they were planning the lemonade stand. She talked about wanting to teach her daughter about community, prematurity, charity, hard work, and giving back. This mother was so inspiring to me, someone who reminded me about things I will teach my daughters one day soon. She inspired me with her idea about the lemonade stand! What a creative, simple, and fun way to fundraise. A wonderful introduction to charity for a little girl just beginning to learn what that means! We thank you so much AniYiah!!!! From the bottom of our hearts. :)

New Photography Volunteer

From now on we will be writing a welcome post about each new volunteer who joins our efforts to share hope through NICU and preemie photography. A full list of our volunteers and their locations can be found on the website. To request a complimentary NICU or NICU graduate photography session fill out this form.

I can't go back and write a welcome post to each of one of our very special volunteers, but I do thank each of them for their volunteerism with our organization. I thank each one of them for the love they share with NICU families and the hope they share with each photo shoot.

A sincere welcome to new volunteer, Alisha Cornett, who will be volunteering in the Houston & Victoria Tx areas. We are thrilled to have another Texas photographer joining us to share hope with NICU families.
