Giving Back ~ Our Favorite Charity

Emily was given a gift almost nine years ago...an awesome bundle of joy who had started life in the roughest way possible...addicted to drugs through no fault of her own.

After two years of foster care, Emily and her husband were granted the right to adopt Addie, who had touched their lives and the lives of so many around them.

This year, for her ninth birthday, Addie asked that people donate needed items or monetary donations to the Pediatric Interim Care Center (PICC) in Kent, Washington, instead of buying her birthday presents.   It was the loving and knowledgible nurses, doctors, and volunteer staff at PICC that enabled Addie to overcome the amphetemines that had been in her system at birth.

 
Strange for a nine year old?   Nope...loving, giving, that's Addie, in a nutshell. 

Addie extended her invitation to all those around her, not just her playmates, and now donations are coming from near and far.  In the spirit of Addie's request, Evergreen Dreams will now be donating 5% of all our profits to PICC.

It's only right that we pay it forward.  Wouldn't you agree?

Donations can be made directly to PICC: www.PICC.net
