WHY WE DO IT . . .

Children are our most precious gift and the most important thing in any parent's life.  When Chloe, our oldest daughter, became seriously ill with a very rare disease (Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome), we entered a whole new world that parents dread.  It took months and months of testing before a diagnosis could be made.  It was during the long hours between tests and later during treatments, we would look for ANY distraction we could think of.  We were always looking for some fun activity to do.  Fortunately, Chloe is doing much better these days, although not completely cured.  She is in fourth grade, goes to Brownies®, occupational and physical therapy, and is taking ballet.  Chloe continually motivates us to be more and do more than we thought was ever possible.  We dedicate this "project" to her, and all of the Children who are hospitalized for tests, treatments or surgeries.  THEY ARE THE TRUE INSPIRATION for CHLOE'S COTTAGE, and why we have chosen to look for a way to make lemonade from our situation.
