Watts Bugging You

I have had the opportunity recently to be a guest on several radio shows to discuss the Watts Bugging You Series, but today it was an honor to have Christian, one of the people I dedicated my first book to, join me. Christian is an inspiration and believe we impacted someone's life today as Christian told his story of beating the odds of heart defects, liver cancer, and liver transplants; which is what this whole journey is about. Anyway, the sunrise greeted us as we entered the building and believe the sunrise was a sign that hope, faith, and grace was in the room and on the KPOF radio airways. Thanks once again to everyone who has supported and continues to support our mission! If you haven't had the chance, please visit our website at: www.wattsbuggingyou.com to see what our heart project is all about and what you can do to help us get the word out!

SEND A CHILD WITH CANCER TO CAMP - Watts Bugging You is partnering with Camp Wapiyapi to help send a child with Cancer and their sibling to summer camp. By going to www.wattsbuggingyou.com, you can buy and donate a book. For each book donated and sold, a child with cancer, or an organization who helps families dealing with pediatric cancer, will receive a special book by Watts Bugging You. "The Bug Who Thought He Lost His Buzz" was written to help parents talk to their young children about being diagnosed with a serious illness. A percentage of proceeds will be donated to Camp Wapiyapi to help send a child with cancer and/or their sibling to camp this Summer. Your kind gift, will help give a child who is facing pediatric cancer the best gift of all…a week of laughter, joy, fun, and good memories! As a special bonus, when you go to the Watts Bugging You web site and donate a book, you will have the chance to write a special note to a child who receives your donation. For only $16.95, you can make a BUG difference to children and families who are battling cancer – the gift of joy, special healing, and a gift that keeps on giving! To help us reach our goal, please share this post and follow Watts Bugging You on Facebook and Twitter.

COME JOIN ME IN SHARING THE REASON FOR THIS SEASON - If you're like me, I am always trying to find ways to pay it forward with my daughter especially during the holidays. The nice part is now that I'm getting the word out about the Watts Bugging You Series and our heart for helping children and families - I have more and more organizations who connect with our vision and who ask for our assistance. If you live in Denver and you don't want to be the Grinch, but want your heart to grow 10x's this season, then please respond to this post and join me in one or more of the below events. If you don't live in Denver, I hope you can find your own way of paying it forward and finding the true meaning of this season.

THANKSGIVING: (Sponsored by Camp Kind and tax deductible) – 1) You can buy an entire Thanksgiving dinner for 2 people @ $25 or $100 for a family. These dinners are for seniors, single parents, and other people who may not be able to afford to buy a Thanksgiving dinner. 2) We will be delivering the Thanksgiving dinners on Thanksgiving morning if you’d like to join us. All family members are welcome to join. (The donated dinners will be delivered in North Denver area – Thornton, Westminster, Broomfield, Northglenn, Louisville, etc.) To find out more information please write to: [email protected] or call Benjy, Camp Director, @ 720-608-6099.

CHRISTMAS: 1) Warren Village (1323 Gilpin St, Denver, CO 80218)– An organization that helps single, homeless families get back to sufficiently being able to take care of their families. They have a holiday shop every year where parents can shop for free and their children can receive gifts for Christmas. Prior to the event, you can donate items from their list. To request the list of items and the drop off locations, please write to Molly, the Volunteer Coordinator, at [email protected]. 2) The actual Holiday Shop will take place on December 15th where you can volunteer in childcare, wrapping gifts, or helping the parents shop for gifts. The Holiday Shop goes from 9am-4 pm. Children need to be 14 yrs. + to volunteer at the event. To complete a volunteer interest form, please go to https://warrenvillage.org. Due to my book being read by Santa at another event, I will only be able to volunteer from 9 – 11 am. 3) On December 26th, I will be volunteering during the day at Brent’s Place (a home away from home for Cancer patients and their families as the children are being treated for Cancer). At this event, we will be giving parents and caretakers a break as we do crafts and story time with children with cancer and their siblings. Of course, we’ll be reading my book. (Due to needing a sterile environment, children also need to be teenagers to participate)
