WE NEED YOUR HELP TO RAISE AWARENESS!!!!

UPDATE: We have gotten some awesome donations from several people.  Thank you so much to Kim Thurston, Doris Molina, and Marion Fish-White!!!  You guys are amazing.  Please check the list below to see what we still need if interested in donating.

Last year, we walked in the Hendersonville Christmas Parade, and it was a big success.  We want to do it again this year but we need help.  Not only do we need a bunch of people to walk in the parade with us (who DOESN'T want to walk in a parade, please come and join us if you can!!!)  but we also need help with our supplies to build the float.  Last year my parents and I funded everything for the Christmas parade, but this year that is a task we can't do.  So I've made it very easy for people to help.

For those who are local you can help several ways - you can come help us at the crafternoon's to help build the Tick and do little crafts to complete the parade float we are doing.  I have a list (see the bottom of this post) of supplies that we need.  This can be stuff that was bought at goodwill, or something that you have but don't need anymore.  If you want to supply us with actual stuff, please be sure you can meet with us very soon to hand it over.  The third way to help is to donate money to us to help with the expenses of the parade here: Go Fund Me!

Here is the list of supplies that we need, once someone donates an item I will remove it from the list so we don't get an over abundance of supplies we don't need.

• white glitter
• black glitter
• santa hats
• reindeers (at least two, at least 21")
• cotton or fake snow
• white spray paint
• black spray paint
• artificial christmas tree (at least 6')
• lime green cute bug ornaments (but we could always use more)
• spray paint for trailer
• trailer
• newspapers (could always use more)
• chicken wire
• 6 white bed sheets (only need two more)
• 2 white table clothes
• 2 black table clothes

Along with these supplies there are things that need to be done that we probably won't be able to finish during our weekly crafternoons, and we need people to work on these at home in their spare time.  This is the list of things that need to be finished.  (I will mark them off as someone agrees to take on these tasks.)

• 1 banner for head of the parade
• 2 banners - "the tick that stole christmas"
• 2 banners - something about prevention
• 2 banners "keep life beautiful" or something like that
• stuffed ticks

Please share this list to friends and family, and help us make the Christmas Parade super exciting and full of awareness for Lyme disease.  If all you can donate is a dollar, that's better than nothing, and would absolutely mean the world to me.  

Thanks so much!
