Wow. What a wonderful family! ♥♥♥ As a part of the Summer of a Million Gifts, we have been touched by stories of giving all summer long! We’d like to introduce you to the Green Family, and a story we hope will lift you the way it has lifted us! Jeremy and Christianne Green are the parents of nine, soon to be ten, wonderful children. Three are biological, seven are children with special needs adopted from China. These special needs include blindness (three of the kids), pulmonary hypertension (a life-threatening heart and lung disease), severe autism, CLOVES syndrome, spina bifida – confining one daughter to a wheelchair – and sweet four-year-old Sophi, who was born without arms. Some wonderful neighbors of the Green’s took it upon themselves to take action and created an organization to help raise money and awareness on behalf of the Green Family, as well as looking to upgrade their home, as their current home hinders their ability to meet the diverse needs of their children. In a short time the Green Family’s story spread and soon they raised $35,000 and a contractor also committed to donate all of his labor as he builds the Green’s a new home! In fact…they’re new home will be featured Aug 2 in the Utah Parade of Homes! When discussing their new home, the topic of decorating came up and Christianne mentioned how much she loves Deseret Book and would love to stage her home entirely in Deseret Book products! Word got out and this last week, the Green’s came into the Deseret Book-Flagship Store, went shopping, and we got to meet these great people! Christianne, actually blogged about her experience and you can read all about it and the items they selected here (WARNING: if you choose to continue you may get a warm fuzzy feeling): bit.ly/1aVsyz4
