Young girls raise more than $2k for Chenango Health Network
NORWICH – In June, three young girls set up a temporary tattoo stand in hopes to raise money for the Chenango Health Network.
This program helps Chenango County women who are diagnosed with breast cancer and cannot afford treatment, and it helps women who are diagnosed with a gynecological cancer. According to their mother, Alicia Lein, the girls wanted to do a temporary tattoo stand and donate the money raised to people in need. “We gave them a few options and of course they chose to follow in their dad’s footsteps [local tattoo artist Brett Lein].”
Madison Murphy, 8, Julia Lein, 4, and Josslyn Lein, 3 were very excited to participate in the fundraiser and be able to help those in the community.
Cost per tattoo was $1, but many who stopped by offered to donate more to the cause, or get multiple tattoos.
Tattoos ranged from princesses, superheroes, phrases, stars, and various other choices, including pink ribbons.
Brett Lein tattoos pink ribbons in October – and has for years – and all of the proceeds are donated to the same program with the Chenango Health Network.
The day the fundraiser was finished, the Lein’s shared, “We can't express how thankful we are to everyone who donated to the girls’ fundraiser. Those who shared their story, who took time out of their day to come visit. The friends and family who baked and helped out from start to finish. Thank you everyone for all your words of encouragement and for believing in the girls. Please remember no act of kindness is ever too small. We will never forget each and every person for your support and generosity. You helped the girls reach their goal and then pass it.”
The girls raised $2,321 for the Chenango Health Network’s financial assistance program.
The three were presented with a plaque of thanks from the Chenango Health Network on Tuesday, as well as other tokens of appreciation.
“They love their plaque and little goodies they got. We hung the plaque in the shop,” said mother Alicia Lein. “We are so proud. I just hope it inspires others to give back and help others.”
