Hannah’s legacy is taking shape

This graphic is the basis for the logo for the LMH Foundation. Even though it wasn't the direction I was thinking at the time, I saw this and it caught my heart ~ Hannah is my little sunshine.

I don’t do well staying in bed all day crying.  Sometimes I feel like that is what is expected of me.   I do have my emotional breakdowns a few (or more) times a day, but for most of the time, I feel like I need to be moving forward.

Moving forward with my life.  Moving forward with the kids.  Moving forward with Daddy.  And most importantly, moving forward with creating Hannah’s legacy, the Little Miss Hannah Foundation.

The paperwork has already been started and filed. Next month, some very dear friends and I are going to sit down and start laying the groundwork for what we want to accomplish in phases.   We are also going to be doing what is necessary to become a 501c3 nonprofit.

I don’t want this to be a little one-person nonprofit.   I forsee huge things for the Little Miss Hannah Foundation.  Even though we will be starting with a Vegas chapter because I’m here, other chapters spearheaded by friends are also going to be coming along in the next 12 to 24 months as well as the ability to help families nationally.

I want the Little Miss Hannah Foundation to be as synonymous with hope for childhood rare diseases as Susan G Komen is for breast cancer.   My vision for what the LMH Foundation can become is quite complex, and it is going to take quite a bit of time to get it to fruition, years even.   But as a good friend of mine reminds me, we just take it one step at a time, and we will get there.

I’m glad I have this to work on.   This is what I am meant to do.    Within the next few months, this website will change into the foundation website, and I will keep my blog in a subdirectory.  Blogging is my therapy, much cheaper than any therapy out there.

I hope that all of you who have been following along on this journey with Hannah and I will continue to follow me as we build her legacy.   For now, we are asking those who want to follow along to join the LMH Foundation Facebook page ~ just click the link and press ‘like.‘
