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.)




Would you like to help fund a future makeover?  You can do so with just your comments!
During this Miracle Makeover Week (August 11-18th) you can leave a comment each day on the Miracle Makeover post at each of the participating blogs, and a $1 donation will be made by Design Gives Back and Guide Post for future Miracle Makeovers.

♥ Leave a comment here on THIS post and on the other participating blog's Miracle Makeover posts (between August 11-18) and $1 will be donated for a future Miracle Makeover!  You can leave a comment each day.  Please ask your friends and family to stop by and leave a comment, too.  Let's raise lots of $ for the next makeover! :)

A Few of the Participating Blogs:  (There are actually many more but these are just the ones I know about.)
How Sweet the Sound
Spiritual Sundays
Country Wings in Phoenix
Hands 4 Heaven
The Painted Garden
Design Gives Back

♥ "Like" Design Gives Back HERE and "Like" Guideposts HERE and for each Like, another $1 will be donated for a future Miracle Makeover.

♥ If you would like to post your own "positive, uplifting or inspirational story, additional funds will be donated for future Miracle Makeovers.  You can read more about that at Design Gives Back.


Thanks to everyone for leaving a comment!  And thanks to Design Gives Back for a beautiful makeover for a very special family!

Metamorphosis Monday:
If you are participating in Metamorphosis Monday you will need to link up the permalink to your MM post and not your general blog address. To get your permalink, click on your post name, then just copy and paste the address that shows up in the address bar at the top of your blog, into the "url" box for InLinkz.

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! :-)

Let's try something fun today! Please visit the person who linked before you and after you...that way everyone will get some visits. Hope you'll visit more, of course. :-)


Welcome! Thanks for coming to the party!

Hi! I'm coming over by Beverly's Pink Saturday to make a comment for the goals - not getting to visit like I do regularly. My blog sort of explains that. So far, I've gotten to several host blogs before having to shut down. Yeah. And that means things are going better here. A huge yeah! Thanks for hosting. Hope you make your goals. Jenn
