Baby Aspen Benefit Auction 6/2/24 At Greatcollections

In 2014 my grandson Ian was born with neuroblastoma - cancer. A tumor was found in his tiny newborn body. He spent his first year with hospitals and surgeries, chemotherapy and doctor's appointments. My son and daughter-in-law had great insurance, lots of supportive family in town, and wonderful hospital/doctors (Children's Mercy in KCMO). Ian is now a typical rowdy ten-year-old soccer superstar goalie. Watching my infant grandson go through that first year was tough. Watching my son watch his son in pain was heart-wrenching.

So when I saw this Baby Aspen benefit auction thread on another forum, about a family in our collecting community, I kicked a few things into the auction, like a bunch of other folks did. GreatCollections is sending ALL the proceeds of the auction to the family of Baby Aspen (including the Buyer's Premium). I figure it's a great way to let people in the hobby show their generosity of spirit and support a family going through something that no family should have to go through.

Now, it's too late to send anything in to the auction. But it's not too late to BID like crazy on the coins in the auction! The money doesn't go to the people who donated the coins... nor to GreatCollections... but to the family of this little girl, to take the burden of their daily obligations off their shoulders in some small way so they can be there in the OR waiting rooms and the doctors appointments supporting Aspen's recovery. Search up "Baby Aspen" at GC or just click this link: https://www.greatcollections.com/se...mode=product - and bid early and often! I mean... look at this kid!
