Inkford Warriors

Calling all Inkford Warriors!

Hello LHBD Families,
You may have heard about one of our LHBD family members and our #Inkfordwarrior campaign but if you haven’t, I’d like to introduce everyone to Jesse Sellers.  Jesse was one of our original LHBD friends and moved from our in-home program to our first building (now building B) when we opened in 2011.  Jesse was diagnosed in November 2019 with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and has been fighting hard to beat his cancer diagnosis and the side effects of chemotherapy.  His mom Jen, Jesse, and his amazing grandparents have spent countless hours in cancer & PICU unit at Blank Children’s Hospital receiving treatment, blood transfusions and antibiotics to counteract the effects of the treatment.   It’s been a bumpy road but Jesse is a fighter and we know he will win this battle.  He keeps his sidekick Inkford (his stuffed animal) with him at all times and he has endless support from friends and family (his warriors).  

However, we need your help!  If you are a part of our original LHBD crew, if you were part of the “With love from Mary’s House” family before Jesse was there, or have ever been a part of our LHBD family, I’m asking for your support. Jesse is a warrior but I don’t want him to think for a minute that he is in this alone!  Please consider purchasing t-shirts designed and created by Jesse, our LHBD family, and the Norwalk Shop.  We would love for Jesse to see that his LHBD family is here supporting him through this journey.  If you would prefer, there is an account set up in Jesse's name at City State Bank in Norwalk and you can stop in and make a donation.  You can also mail or drop off donations at LHBD and we will make sure it gets deposited into the account.  We have posted additional information about Jesse's journey on our website- www.lilhandsbigdreams.com -or you can click on the link below to go directly to the Norwalk Shops on-line order.  
​

I know we haven't seen some of you for a long time but you are always in our hearts and are part of our family.  Jesse has been away from LHBD for a while now but that doesn't mean he is continuously in our thoughts and prayers!

With Love,
Mary and Brian
