A Prayer Child Foundation Story
A Prayer Child Foundation Story
Izabella (Bella) Tapia - 3 Years Old
|
In October 2010, when Izabella (Bella) was only two years old, her family’s life changed forever. Her mother took her for a regular check-up and was told to immediately take her daughter to the Los Angeles Children Hospital where there would be a team of doctors waiting for her. After days of testing, Bella was diagnosed with langerhans cell histiocytosis. This means that her little body is producing too many langerhans cells that will build up in areas of her body and can form tumors or damage organs. In some cases, this disease is life-threatening.
Doctors found that the histiocytosis was attacking Bella’s skull and eye. It left her with multiple lesions in her head and a bulging appearance in the orbit area of her eye. Recently, it attacked again, causing her central nervous system to develop diabetes insipidus. The hospital visits, chemotherapy, steroid treatments and medication expenses are piling up as the months go on. A $1,000 gift was given to Bella’s family on behalf of the Prayer Child Foundation. With this money, her family was able to help cover the expenses associated with Bella’s medication.

Helping Addison
A Prayer Child
Foundation Story

Addison Puma - 4 Years
Old
|
Little Addison’s life has been a fight from the start. When she was
born, she weighed less than two pounds and her father’s wedding ring could be
placed around her wrist like a bracelet. As Addison began growing, her parents
noticed one of her eyes beginning to cross. After a corrective surgery, her eye
continued to cross and a second surgery was performed. In time, Addison’s eye
began to cross again. This time she was sent for an MRI and her parent’s worst
nightmare became a reality. Their little girl was diagnosed with an inoperable
brain tumor.
After extensive
research, Addison’s family decided to take her to St. Jude’s Hospital in
Memphis, Tennessee to undergo a seven-week experimental chemotherapy treatment.
Addison is back to her cheerful self for now, but her doctors anticipate that
her tumor will grow back. Addison’s family is prepared to make as many trips
back to Tennessee (from Michigan) for treatment as needed to fight for Addison's
life.
A $700 gift was given to Addison’s
family on behalf of the Prayer Child Foundation. With this money, their family
was able to help cover the expenses associated with Addison’s
chemotherapy.

Helping Xavier
A Prayer Child
Foundation Story
|
Xavier Waldow-Walker - 3 Months
Old
|
When Xavier was
born, he seemed to be perfectly healthy and happy. Less than one hour after his
birth, a nurse noticed that his head was larger than normal and he was rushed to
have it examined. Ultrasounds revealed that Xavier had a blood clot on his
brain.
He was
immediately transported to Loma Linda University Children's Hospital for further
treatment. When he was six days old he had a Ventricular Access Device inserted
into his brain. Over the next two weeks, fluid was drained from his little head
six times. Xavier now has to be monitored closely to make sure that fluid
build-up does not occur again. He also needs physical therapy several times a
week because of the lack of and over-toned muscles throughout his body caused by
a stroke. The closest physical therapist is 100 miles away from Xavier’s home.
On top of the medical expenses associated with this treatment, his family also
needs to cover the cost of food, gas and lodging for these trips.
A $1,000 gift was
given to Xavier’s family on behalf of the Prayer Child Foundation. With this
money, their family was able to help cover the expenses associated with Xavier’s
physical therapy treatments.

Scent Blend Recipe-March
Here’s your chance to have fun with fragrance!
Scent Blending is a collection of individual candles, that when burned together,
create their own unique blended scent experience.
|
This month’s blend is: Spring Cleaning
Day
Have the fragrance of a
freshly cleaned home when you burn “Spring Cleaning Day” .This blend creates
bold citrus notes swirled with an aromatic mix of rosemary for an invigorating
spring fragrance. (P.S. this blend is also perfectly colored for a St. Patty’s
Day display!)
(1) Rosemary Thyme (16
oz.)
(1) Bella®
Luscious Vanilla Lime (8 oz.)
|
Make sure to use the exact sizes and
quantities noted in this recipe. A slight alteration can be like adding salt
when you needed sugar!
Arrange the candles on a heat-safe surface
with the largest in the middle and the smaller candles interspersed throughout.
When burning votives and tealights, use a holder to protect the
surface.
Light each candle and let the aromas mingle
for at least 30 minutes to create your new fragrance
experience.

Dear Maven
Put those product questions to bed! Do you have a product question
you've been dying to ask? Well look no further for the answer! Maven is your
all-knowing Gold Canyon product go-to girl.
Dear Maven,
I bought votives this year for the first time (loved the Cozy
Christmas scent!) but they tend to make a mess of the votive glass holders. Is
there any trick to lessen the mess? Please share!
Sincerely,
Stuck on Votives

Dear Stuck on Votives,
Girl … where have you been? I can’t believe you just now realized
how wonderful our votives are. I’m glad you finally caught up to speed but,
wow—have you been missing out! When it comes to cleaning, I generally let my
people take care of it for me. But I do happen to have a little trick up my
sleeve when it comes to cleaning out votive glasses. The secret is to stick them
in your freezer for a few hours. I usually pop them in-between the stems of my
chilled martini glasses. Two to three episodes of Desperate Housewives
later, the wax is ready to be popped out. You can do this with a butter knife or
flat screwdriver. If there is any residue, our Wax Remover will get it right
off!
I don’t mean to brag, but … I do have the answer to all of your
Gold Canyon questions. If you have one, don’t be shy. Send your questions to
dearmaven@goldcanyon.com.
Your Votive Vixen,
Maven
