Party with a PURPOSE, Little Pink Houses of Hope, Fundraising Event, Thursday, March 26th, 6-8 p.m., NorthEast Seafood Kitchen, Ocean View, Delaware, Let’s Fill Those Seats!!
Everything looked so normal. Just like any other get together at the beach. Going fishing!! Summertime, a time to relax and not to care about a thing…..If it only were that easy. Just for one week it was for the families that came to Bethany Beach, Delaware, for this retreat last year. The women had breast cancer and the journey to the beach was to get away and have fun.
The organization is called Little Pink Houses of Hope founded by Jeanine Patten-Coble. Website? http://www.littlepink.org. The organizers in Bethany Beach were Annie Raskauskas and Stacy Shepps. Annie and Stacy were backed up by the communities of the Delaware Beaches. Big hearts in Southern Delaware.
When these families arrived at the beach their accommodations were all donated by area residents. Besides their accommodations, they had barbecues, crab feasts, dinners, deep sea fishing…the community went all out. Everything for them was free of charge. Breast cancer like many chronic diaseases not only afflicts the person but the whole family.
When they arrived the families did not know one another. When they left they were a united front and a very powerful and emotional thing to see. The following photos are of the last day together having fun….fishing, a picnic, a pig roast, a birthday celebration, games on the beach…meet The Little Pinks and their families.
In the evening…pig roast, birthday celebration and games on the beach.
Then, it was time to say so long.
