We have had an outpouring of offers for help, concern and genuine love from our friends and family at home. We feel so in love with our community. We are thankful we chose Anacortes as our home... to plant our roots and raise our children.
Our friends at Fidalgo Dance Works, asked us if they could help by collecting donations for Madelyn's 2-3 years of treatment during the winter dance concerts. (Madelyn was so sad to not be up on stage during the Winter Celebration performance. She had been telling everyone about it and her penguin costume for weeks....). Peter and I talked about it and rather than raise money for hospital bills (so intangible and hard for her to understand), we would like that money to go towards something very concrete in her mind; something she can really understand and be excited about.
We have asked that contributions be made in Madelyn's honor to clean and develop N Ave Park in Old Town.
Because she WILL be home again.
Madelyn loves this beach. Living just two blocks away, we frequent this little park on the water. It has nice sand, good throwing rocks, shells, birds and a beautiful view of Guemes Channel. Madelyn’s preschool, San Juan Montessori, also uses this beach for play and for teaching. It is a small, special little spot in Old Town
