Yellowberry on Kickstarter

Megan Grassell is 18-years-old and a senior at the Jackson Hole Community School in Jackson, Wyoming who has a Kickstarter campaign to offer fun, colorful and age appropriate bras to young girls.   I am asking you to consider supporting her effort. (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2126584956/yellowberry-changing-the-bra-industry-for-young-gi?ref=live).

I know Megan's family through cancer.  My youngest son was diagnosed with a brain tumor when we were on vacation in Grand Teton National Park.  He was air-cared to Denver and had surgery the next day.  When he woke up, he could not speak or move the right side of his body.  We were terrified--one day ago we had a lively 5 year old boy, and the next we we dealing with cancer, paralysis and a boy that could

not and would not communicate with us.  Out of such situations one can occasionally find goodness and light.  The pediatrician who diagnosed my son in the Jackson Hole ER called us to see how our son was doing, and when he heard the outcome of his surgery, he put us in contact with another family who had had the same situation.  Megan's mother offered me hope, prayers, good advice, and friendship on a daily basis throughout the year of my son's treatment with radiation and chemotherapy.  She literally saved my sanity.

But the tough times for the Grassell children were not behind them.  In a nightmarish Fourth of July parade accident, Megan's younger sister Caroline was killed in front of her family. 

Megan has taken the six things that they cherish about Caroline's memory--go barefoot, water the flowers everyday, watch quietly and observe, seek and find a hug when you need one, love the outdoors and nature, campfires are far so eat as many marshmallows as you can--as mantras for her company, Yellowberry, because she feels that they embody the youthfulness and innocence of young girls, which I love! They are perfect for Yellowberry and spreading the message that girls don’t have to grow-up so quickly!

Megan and her family have an incredible zest for life that I find inspirational.  Thank you so much for considering supporting Yellowberry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsaSoNhSE5c).
