After ending up in a conversation with someone today I realized that I never posted the PICS from the fall mailer shoots. The development office had asked me to wait to post them to the blog until after the mailer went out and its been out for a while now so… here they are!

When doing the shoot they decided it would be a good idea to try and get some pics of Ky and Joe TOGETHER! Joe was CONVINCED it was not going to work. I was determined it would. Joe was right… Ky was having nothing to do with him or the pics.

I think that the images are truly hilarious but I guess they are not the stuff that tear jerking promos are made of! ROFL

Whatcha think? My personal favorite is the first one! Its SOOO real. I love it! Here are some others that DID make the cut and were used. I hope that anyone reading who received the mailer did make even just a small donation. As I said on the envolpe of the mailer…

This place… these people… AMAZING! Kyleigh is alive because of the man in this picture and because of so many others at Kentucky Children’s. We will never be able to say thank you enough.

Here are some of the pics that they did use:

And here is the mailer itself!!! I am truly proud of this. I am just glad that we were able to give back in ANY way to this place which has given us so much!!! I said the same thing after radiothon and I will continue to say it. I could never have asked for a better hospital to call HOME. As always if you would like to make a donation to the Kentucky Children’s Hospital in Kyleigh’s honor you can go here:

The text of the letter reads:
Dear Person,
When I found out that I was having a baby girl, I dreamed… I dreamed of little pink dresses, games of Peek-A-Boo and tea parties. I never dreamed of scary hospital visits, endless surgeries and many worried filled nights watching my baby fight for her life.

I dreamed of what my daughter would look like. Thought you cannot see from her picture, Kyleigh- now two years olf- has fought through 13 major surgeries (including two open heart procedures). She has battled through life threatening staph infections and double collapsed lungs.

I never dreamed that Kyleigh wouldbe one of the thousands of children helped by the amazing compassion and skill of the Kentucky Children’s Hospital each year. They have become like family to us. Because they have cared so well for my little princess, I ask for your support today.

A gift of $12.50 per month over the next year supports and enhances the incredible care Kentucky Children’s Hospital provides through the best doctors, nurses and staff available for our children, right here in Kentucky. If you wish to take a leading role in the quality of healthcare for Kentucky’s children I invite you to join the Leadership Circle of giving at Kentucky Children’s Hospital (see enclosed bookmark).

Now, I dream of what your support can do at the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. Please join me by helping the hospital today!

Sincerely,
Amber Schmidt
Kyleigh’s mom
