A Miracle Makeover for Charlie Grady: Welcome to the 134th Metamorphosis Monday!

Hi Everyone! I have a special "Before and After" to share for this week's Met Monday so I'm posting much earlier than normal.  Please share this makeover with as many friends and family as you can.  It's for a wonderful cause and your COMMENTS raise $ for the next Miracle Makeover!

Last year, Kelee Katillac put together a very special makeover, actually it was a "Miracle Makeover" for Colette Gauthier.  You can read all about that beautiful makeover and her story of hope and healing,  HERE.



I'm so happy to report Colette is doing great and is actually back participating with this year's Miracle Makeover as a blogger, herself. :)


Meet Charlie, This Year's Recipient of a Miracle Makeover

Charlie Grady is a wonderful little boy with a huge heart.  Despite fighting his own serious health issues, he enjoys leading a Christmas toy drive each year to bring gifts and happiness to children who are going through chemotherapy.  What a remarkable young man!



Kelee and the good folks at Guide Post wanted to thank Charlie for all he's given to those in his community.  They've put together a very special makeover for Charlie, his brother Liam and their sister, Katie.

Here's a pic of Charlie's room "Before" the makeover:



And here's the "After!" (To watch the video in full screen, click on the four, tiny arrows in the right hand corner. Just hit escape when finished.)

If you'd like to include the MM button in your post, just copy and paste the Met Monday button to your computer or grab the html code from underneath the MM logo under the "Join a Blog Party" header at the top of this blog.

In order to link up, you'll need to include a link in your MM post back to the host blog, Between Naps on the Porch so your regular readers will be able to find the Met Monday party which ensures your friends and fellow bloggers will receive lots of visits, too. Isn't that what a party is all about? :)

PLEASE DO NOT type in all caps...it spreads the links waaaay out. Thanks! :-)
