Shayla Bee's 32nd Family!!

Posted Friday, July 23, 2010, at 2:36 PM

The Shayla Bee group will be making its 32nd family donation to the Gardewine family of Rolefe, IA. They have a daughter, Avery, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in April. The group will depart from S&S Cycleworks at 3 p.m. July 24. Hope you can make it!!

The Shayla Bee group helps responsible working class families, with a child and limited financial means, in times of medical crisis. The group was formed as a living memory to a sweet little girl named Shayla. This little gal was born on December 4th 1998, with a condition called Schizencephaly.

Her 6 year battle was an inspiration to her family and all who loved and cared for her. Her 18 year old mother went from a troubled single mom, to a 24 hour a day, seven day a week caregiver in a heartbeat. Her devotion to Shayla was a true inspiration. It is baffling how a handicapped child can have such a profound impact on so many lives, but she did and continues to to this day. To learn more visit www.myspace.com/shaylabeefund

Hey- I grew up in Northcentral Iowa. I attended Iowa State University where I received a B.A. Degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and had an emphasis on Child and Family Studies. I moved to Storm Lake in 2008 to work for the Pilot-Tribune, after working for a daily paper in Nebraska. When I'm not busy typing like a mad woman, peering from behind a camera lens or interviewing all sorts of new and exciting people, you can probably find me rollerblading/biking the paved paths of Storm Lake, strumming out a few notes on my guitar, walking numerous dogs all at once in Newell. I am also a member of Faith Bible, a member of the Shayla Bee family, the SL Kiwanis and a longtime member of the Twizzlers Annonymous Support group. Wink Wink.
