Baby Maarten’s Yard Sale — Thanks Wallyhoodies!

  • Post author:

This report sent in by Lower Wallingford Correspondent, Chris Witwer.

A few weeks ago, we reported on a then-upcoming Yard Sale to benefit Baby Maarten, a young Seattlite who is suffering from brain cancer.  The sale was a huge success this past weekend, in large part thanks to the generous donations of Wallyhood readers.  Many of you donors asked for an update following the sale.  Here ya go:

While online donations are still rolling in, the cash total so far is over $6,500.   Maaten’s mom, Sasha, is speechless — and grateful.   Sale organizers specifically asked that a “big thank you” be sent out to Wallyhood readers.  Thanks so much to everyone who participated or contributed!
