His older brother, Walker's Art for Charlie. Find it and other great items at http://www.etsy.com/shop/HelpCharlieHeal
My friend Sarah from La Maison Boheme had a baby boy last August. It was determined that Charlie had a stroke in utero and also his little skull had fused prematurely in the womb. The stroke can mean effects on Charlie's motor skills, cognitive and language development.
Charlie is going to have craniofacial surgery this summer and this is Sarah's plea for assistance.
"One thing that I have learned from Charlie is to ask for help when I need it - humbling, but necessary. Today, I'm finally reaching out to my blog community to help us raise money for Charlie's surgery. Thankfully, we have insurance, but his surgery is out of network and we are on the hook for 40 percent of the total cost. Some dear friends of ours have already created a blog called Help Charlie Heal where friends and family have made and continue to make direct donations to Charlie's medical fund. Now, my son, Walker (Charlie's older brother) and I have opened an Etsy shop to help raise money for Charlie's upcoming surgery. We're selling art cards that feature Walker's original art work." Sarah from La Maison Boheme

Thanks, Karena, for letting us know. It gives us a chance to help out to such a worthy cause.
Congrats to Renee.
Thanks for sharing the link to raise money for Charlie. Love his artwork!
My heart goes out to Charlie and his entire family. My son's name is Charlie and just the thought of something happening to him makes me so scared, so I can't even imagine how the family is coping right now. I went to purchase those adorable notecards and it was nice to see they were completely sold out. xx Danielle
I just went to the shop and was thrilled to see that all the stock had been purchased...such a blessing (more are being made)! This is so special not only for Charlie but also for Walker...what a beautiful way to help his little brother.
I'll be checking back soon...

The Help Charlie Heal art card shop is restocked again! Thank you to everyone for your support and outpouring of love.
Wow, Walker is definitely an artist in the making! It's so heartwarming to see such a bond between Walker and Charlie. I'm sure with all the love and support that Charlie is receiving, he's going to come through his medical problems with flying colours.
I love that you have such the biggest heart and it's so obvious and eloquently integrated into you blog :) That art work is quite beautiful and I am sure there will be plenty who will support the beautiful boy you have brought to light. XO, Kelly
