Christmas in November 2011 – CYFC – Damien Smith Photography


I always say it, and I’ll say it again!  “I just love the wonderful folks over at Children Youth and Family Collaborative!”  In the years I’ve been working with them, I’ve watched their Christmas in November event grow from under 1000 youth to well over 3500 youth that they provide 7 Christmas gifts to each year!  The folks at CYFC are truly some the best folks you’ll meet!  I can go on and on talking about them, but this time I’ll let the newspaper article in the “Los Angeles Sentinel” do the talking!

Malia’s Heart Fundraiser – Damien Smith Photography


Link to fundraiser page: http://cota.donorpages.com/PatientOnlineDonation/COTAforMaliaS/

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I love my clients!  When one of my clients has a problem that I may be able to help with, I try to do what I can.

One of my clients whose wedding I photographed almost 5 years ago just had two adorable babies a few months ago.  Twins, a boy and a girl.  A few months after birth they discovered that their daughter, Malia, had a heart condition.  They took her to the hospital in December, and she’s been there ever since.  It was determined that she needed a new heart.  So, the wait began.  A few weeks ago she received her new heart!  Our prayers go out to the donor family.
