Fundraiser for Hayden

First diagnosed with “A.L.L” or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (a cancer of the blood & bone marrow) in 2014, Hayden is now on her 3rd fight with cancer.

“Join our community as we raise funds for the Foulon family to use as they see fit as they focus their attention on their amazing little girl,” organizers say.

“100% of proceeds go to the family. This event is 100% run by volunteers. Hayden’s mother, Lindsay, is selling jewelry to help with costs during this time as she is unable to work at this time. Please join her page here: Stella & Dot with Lindsay! Join the fundraiser she is running this month here: Helping Hayden – A Stella & Dot fundraiser for The Foulon Family. Any purchase you make from her helps their family.”
