OhSewCrafty Holds International Charity Auction for Four-Year-Old Girl Waiting for a New Heart
The "Quilt for Katy" Auction takes place online with participants reaching from Germany to help little Katy Murphy. Oh Sew Crafty has donated a Handmade Quilt to support this charity.
WILLIAMSON, NY, November 06, 2011 /Internet PR News/ -- OhSewCrafty, a local and online crafting business, is holding a "Quilt for Katy" Auction. The auction runs online from now until 12 p.m. EST, Friday November 11th. Katy Murphy, Littleton, MA, is an adventurous, loving, fun four-year-old who is waiting for a new heart. The auction is reaching throughout the country, but not stopping there. The auction has reached out across the ocean, with participants Germany. All proceeds of the auction will go to the "Be A Rock for Katy" fund. The handmade, queen size quilt, with matching pillowcases, is being auctioned at www.OhSewCrafty.com. The starting bid is $250, but OhSewCrafty is out to raise as much as possible for Katy and her family.
"Our heart strings were pulled when a friend of mine told me about a family member, Katy. Heather and I decided we wanted to help this family since we are both mothers ourselves," said Shelly Sommers, owner of Oh Sew Crafty.
The "Be A Rock For Katy" fund supports the family in paying medical bills, parking at hospital garage, special clothes Katy needs for medical equipment, paying rent, and putting food on the Murphy's table. Katy's illness makes it impossible for her mom, Aimee, to work. Her father, Mike, works and balances spending time with Katy and taking care of their youngest son, Patrick. In a perfect world the Murphy's would not have to worry about money in this situation, they would be able to buy a cup of coffee while waiting at the hospital. The world is not perfect, and OhSewCrafty is raising awareness and funds for Katy and her family. The auction winner will be announced online at www.OhSewCrafty.com 12 p.m. EST Friday, November 11, 2011.
