Renee DeGeorge Memorial Fund

at www.whyme.org

Renee DeGeorge was born on September 28, 1970 and passed away on November 9, 2011 after a courageous battle with lung cancer.  Renee was generous to a fault and very giving of time to others.  She adored children even though she never had any of her own. Renee dedicated ehrself to her two nephews and little niece.  She was an animal lover, especially to her two dogs, Bindi and Scrappy, and was rarely without them.  Renee was an avid fan of The New England Patriots and her beloved Boston Red Sox.

The Renee DeGeorge Memorial Fund was set up to support the children and families of Why Me, while keeping Renee's legacy of generosity and love alive.

The Why Me Bear Charm

at www.whyme.org

The Why Me Bear symbolizes childhood and comfort. The bear is holding a gold heart in recognition of all the brave Why Me children. Gold is also the color of childhood cancer. We hope this charm will be a treasured addition to the memories on your charm bracelet.

The Why Me Bear is Sterling Silver with his heart hand painted Gold Vermeil. The bear will fit on a Pandora or rope style bracelet.

Why Me Bears are $50, which includes tax and shipping & handling.

Why Me Chain of Love

at www.whyme.org

Makes a great Holiday gift!

Why Me Chain of Love is a bracelet that was designed by a Why Me mom in honor of all our children - survivors, angels and fighters.

Each color bead has a specific meaning for our children.  The yellow beads are especially significant because they represent childhood cancer awareness.  Green represents comfort, pink for love, orange for strength and purple for support.

Bracelets are $30 and can either be picked up at Sherry's  House or mailed to you.
