Wanna get to know Alena and find a new way to help Alena?

Alena loves to read!

First of all thank you to the families who have donated through the paypal donate link on this page and thank you to the families donating items to be sold via craigslist or consignment.

I got a phone call from a friend today suggesting to me that I could open a Marriot Rewards account and people could "donate" their points to Alena's cause so we could use them for free hotel nights. The nights are 20,000 points per night but i'm sure with all the people who love Alena we can get there especially if you tell your friends as well. If you or someone you know stays at a hotel for business I bet they have a rewards account, if they do and its a marriot you can help Alena!!  You can donate your points to Alena by calling Andrea at 801-468-4000 ext 5857 and filing out a form in writing and sending it back to them, our personal rewards account number is 202188389. Please email Tom and let him know when you've donated points since he is trying to keep tally. The hotel is 20,000 points per night and we already have 27,000 points!! That's one nights stay for us!! A big thank you to the C and K family for helping to set this up for Alena.

I also thought you might like to get to know Alena so here's her Q&A

Alena's birthday is September 6, 2006 (She's 5.5 yrs old)

She has one brother who is 21 months and she adores him!

Alena's favorite color is pink or purple or sometimes blue.

Alena loves Hello Kitty, Olivia the pig, and Elmo.

 Alena's favorite activities include reading, pretend play with her baby dolls and running around with her brother.

Alena is currently finishing up preschool but will be a big girl in kindergarten next year.



If you have any other questions about Alena or our family please post them in the comments and I will answer them in a new post!!
