Teresa a NILMDTS photographer is who I selected to pick the winner, I chose her because she gave me the idea. In an earlier giveaway for an MVOA shirt she submitted herself but for an angel mom. I thought what an amazing kind thing to do, she could have said "I don't have an angel, this giveaway isn't for me" instead she thought of someone else.
Teresa selected Lisa A light at the end of the tunnel . Lisa nominated Tarah and this is what she wrote
I would like to nominate someone who I first "met" when we lost our baby James. Her name is Tarah and she has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known. She contacted me about a care package she wanted to send after learning about our loss. After corresponding with her she learned that we were in a tight spot getting a headstone for our angel. Through her efforts she raised over $800 to help us purchase James' headstone. Tarah is truly an angel on earth. But she has her own story. She struggles with infertility and has lost 3 babies of her own. Due to a balanced translocation she has a hard time conceiving and staying pregnant. Tarah deserves so much more than I could ever give her but I would like to acknowledge her huge giving heart.
Congratulations Tarah would you please email me at myveryownangel@gmail.com so that I can get your address and size for a multiple loss shirt.
Also Lisa would you also please email me with your size and address's, so that I can send you an MVOA shirt for being humbled to the point that you could nominate someone else for something you wanted.
When you bless someone you will also be blessed

I was honored to be included in this and each one had a very heartbreaking story to share....it wasn't an easy decision. But I want all of you to know I support each and everyone that have Angels. I believe in what Stephanie is doing, I support her crusade in healing....Yes we get down and we feel bad but try to dig deep down inside of you and take that pain and help someone else.....I was always told someone is a little worse off than me....I know that sounds horrible how can someone be worse off than you....but there are many that are worse off than us.....we have got to reach out and help each other!!!! What Angela Donaldson has done with her pain and loss is amazing....I am not sure I would be as strong as she is but she is doing it.....it isn't easy for her. She relives losing Ethan time and time and time again but she is doing this in Ethan's name....to help other families have keepsakes and treasures....Maybe one day, all families will have an opportunity to have beautiful portraiture offered to them when this horrible life experience of losing a child enters into the lives so unexpectedly.....We are here to help each other!!! I am so glad you ladies call me friend! What an honor!
Teresa summed everything I had to say up into one incredible sentence.
You are amazing, all of you.
I was rooting for her. :)
