Many Etsians, including myself, have been taking part in a great effort to raise money for two sweet boys who lost their Mother just days before Christmas in a horrible motorcycle accident. Dawn made jewelry and lampwork beads. She had a store both on Ebay and Etsy.
She was just getting her life back to normal after having to rebuild her home. Dawn and her boys had to leave southern Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina ripped through the shores of New Orleans and Slidell in August 2005.
We're still working very hard to raise money for these little boys. Dawn would have turned 31 on January 13.

We had some long nights pushing for Dawn's boys and so much support, I really enjoyed your company there (and for keeping me awake). We're coming up with plans for January 13th, it would have been Dawn's 31st birthday.
Excellent post about Dawn's boys! It's been a pleasure "meeting" such fine people like you in Bluesaphire's AKA duracell bunny thread - sadly, it's a tragic situation that brought us together.
PS Chloe is adorable!
Erm .. anonymous is me cyn AKA Xabi Alonso Fan Club :)
Excellent post! Dawn's boys are such a great cause!
Aw! Thanks for the mention!

I'm grateful for the new Etsy friends I've made through the forum effort, and pleased to see how we've rallied round for someone most of us never knew.
Ahhhh wild,wild,wild,wild,i have not known you long,*sigh* but i think i love you :O) ,im aso thinking (which hurts a little) the poem you posted to me, says a lot about how i feel as a whole, in respect of us all coming together and a gel formed,of unity love dedication and devotion to this cause,we laughed,we slept little,we cried,we cheered,we experienced many emotions thoughout,yes we gave,as others gave,but we also recieved,we all came together and we made friends :O) Love you and your work,and the fact we all regained faith and good friends and company :O) Bless you always your m8 Blue xxxxx
It's very confusing and frustrating, the things that God gives his children to handle. These two boys are going to be fine with the outpouring of love and compassion that people like you and many others have shown. It takes a community to raise a child, and in this case, two. I will donate what I can to help the cause. I would want it if it were my son who was left alone in such a tragic way.
I'm a friend of the family and I know that the childeren are no longer with their grandfather and they are with their farther. Children are doing as excpected, they are getting lots of love and couseling at this time. Want to make sure they get the things that are donated to them, could you please call me at 504-319-3988. thank you for all your help and concern!
