Tiny Sparrow Foundation

The Tiny Sparrow Foundation was created by my friend, Lidia. She is a breast cancer survivor and one of the biggest reasons I started walking in the 3-Day for the Cure event. Her struggles made me want to do something... something to help her and others in her situation.

Lidia was only 31 when diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent months of chemotherapy and radiation, hair loss, weight loss, and the loss of both breasts and her ovaries. Lidia struggled to survive. She had multiple issues resulting from the cancer and chemo, had a young daughter who had health issues of her own, and had recently lost her father.

Through it all though, Lidia was and still is a fighter! While lying in bed trying to recover, she spent hours reading a manual and learning how to use her new camera. She had a passion for photography. She eventually started her own business, Oh So Posh Photography. She then started the Tiny Sparrow Foundation because she wanted to use her talent to "give back" to those in need.

You can read Lidia's story here. She is an amazing person with a huge amount of compassion.

The Foundation is a non-profit organization and needs your help! They always accept donations! :)

UPDATE: Shirt sale has ended but I'm sure it will be back eventually so stay tuned!

Right now you can purchase a shirt of "Hope" to support the Tiny Sparrow Foundation by clicking here. $15 from every purchase goes to the Foundation to help them continue giving the precious gift of pictures to families going through some of their darkest hours.
