Olivia


Olivia the pig was Noni's (My mother's) pig for quite a while. My daughter Faith had wanted to take Olivia home for a very long time but her Noni was not so easy to let Olivia go. On August 8th 2009 our home burned to the ground and we were left with nothing. We were lucky enough to have been on vacation and thank goodness we were all safe. While we were staying in the hotel Noni decided that since Faith did not have any toys that she would send Ms. Olivia to keep her company. To make my mother feel better we took pictures of Olivia sitting pool side, shopping at the mall, relaxing by the fire, getting her morning workouts in and doing all sorts of activities with our family so that Noni knew that not only was Olivia okay but she was having the time fo her life. Olivia has done so much for our family and we wanted to share her story with all of you. Not only has Olivia done so much for us but now on May 1st she will be be completing her second walk in the Boston Walk for Hunger. (she just never stops)

I will be updating this blog as we go along and adding pictures to it so you can get to know Olivia. Please share her story with friends and family and see if all of you can help Olivia reach her $500 goal on the Walk for Hunger page...
