The Sparkle of Tinnley Organization

TINNLEY IS THE INSPIRATION FOR OUR ORGANIZATION. TINNLEY WAS A HEALTHY. HAPPY, GOOFY, NORMAL 21 MONTH OLD TODDLER UNTIL SUDDENLY SHE WASN'T. SHE HAD WHAT SEEMED LIKE A COLD AND TEETHING, PLUS SOME TODDLER BRUISING. WHEN SHE STARTED TO SEEM VERY LETHARGIC ON A FAMILY VACATION AND STARTED GETTING LITTLE RED SPOTS SHE ENDED UP IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT WEEK TINNLEY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AML LEUKEMIA AND A VERY RARE/DIFFICULT TO TREAT FORM AT THAT. AFTER BATTLING FOR II MONTHS TINNLEY PASSED AWAY AT HOME SURROUNDED BY SO MUCH LOVE. THROUGH MANY DAYS IN HOSPITAL, CONSTANT BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, AND MORE TESTS, POKES, MEDS, AND PROCEDURES THAN COULD BE COUNTED, TINNLEY KEPT HER SMILE, GOOFINESS, SPARKLE, STRENGTH, AND JOY. SHE IMPACTED SO MANY WITH HER LOVE, ENERGY, AND SMILE. SHE MADE OUR LIVES SO MUCH BRIGHTER IN THE SHORT TIME SHE WAS ON EARTH. HER SMILE WOULD LIGHT UP A ROOM, AND HER LAUGH WAS CONTAGIOUS. SHE DEMONSTRATED IMMENSE STRENGTH ENDURING THE TRIALS SHE FACED FOR ALMOST HALF OF HER LIFE. SHE WAS SUCH A GOOFY, FUN-LOVING, EMPATHETIC CHILD DESPITE IT ALL. WE CAN ALL TRULY CELEBRATE THE LIFE, ALTHOUGH SHORT, THAT TINNLEY LIVED AND THIS IS WHY THE SPARKLE OF TINNLEY ORGANIZATION EXISTS - TO SPREAD THE JOY THAT TINNLEY HAD TO EVERYONE WE MEET. LIKE MOST TWO YEAR OLDS, SHE LOVED SPARKLES BRIGHT COLORS, PRINCESSES AND PLAYING DRESS-UP WITH HER SISTER. OUR GOAL IS TO BRING SMILES TO THE FACES OF CHILDREN LIKE TINNLEY BY SENDING THEM BOXES OF FUN FOR IN THEIR HOSPITAL ROOM OR AT HOME - SPREADING THE SPARKLE ONE BOX AT A TIME!
