Laugh everyday. I had the pleasure of Meeting Olivia and her whole amazing
family and Danica on the Disney Dream. Olivia is My hero sometimes people
need role models if they are young to follow someone older but I am older and
she is my role model and she is younger than I am..The real voyage of
discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes..
Smiling everyday all day no matter what..

Hi Olivia and Family! I hope all is well with you. I recently finished up my
first season of magic shows in Los Cabos, Mexico. I was going to see if I
could make LivFest this year since I couldn't go to the last one but
unfortunately I won't be stateside until June. My prayers and thoughts go out
to you and if there is anything you need please don't hesitate to ask.

While the LivLife team, your community of volunteers love, care, & support
you in so many wonderful ways, I'd like to share with everyone the fact that
you come by on a daily basis to ask 'If I need any Help?' in my classroom.
Your willingness to give up Recess time to volunteer your little helping
hands is such a lovely genuine gesture and blessing in my day. When you
bounce in with your rosy cheeks and cheerful smile, its so easy to see what a
giving little gal and what a gift you are. Thank you for bringing a smile to
my day Olivia. LivFest2011 will be another outstanding event in your honor!

Oh my gosh Olivia! You are at school right now but I wish I could race into
your classroom, scoop you up in my arms and dance all around to thank you for
being such a magical kid. Liv, you make it so easy to spread love! Your
bright sparkling eyes and contagious smile are like breathing joy and
light. I love you! ...you should see what the community is pulling
together for you now. xoxox

I had so much fun with you on Monday night Little Bean! What an incredible
blessing to watch you grow and ignite. You were so sweet to sing me a new

A Sip Of Sunshine ~ more like a 'Soak of Sunshine"! What a magical evening it
was for my friends and I! The garden setting, gravel pathways lined with
petite plants. Bountiful beautiful flowers surrounded by twinkle lights and
tiki torches...just amazing! The wine tasting booths with all those
scrumptious nibblez to choose from. It was apparent the 'happy vibe' was in
everyone's face...a little wine sure helped too! Such a variety with sooo
many fabulous auction items to chose from. Now I get to go for a ride in a
helicopter!!! Toooooo Coooool! It is certainly an event I will mark on my
calendar every year! (Grandma Becky ~ We liked your Wine tasting table the
most! You are quite the quirky comedian...dancing and tasting the wines along
with the guests. Keep smiling and giggling everyday and in every way!) Just a
huge hug and an enormous Thank you to the LivLife team for all that you do to
honor Olivia and to support her wonderful family. Luv 'n Hugz to all of you!

Hi Olivia, We've been reading the blogs about you and your recovery. So happy
you are home and doing well. You rock! at cutting your hair. What a wonderful
generous thing to do. Andrew's older sister Abby did the same thing about 2
weeks after school got out. It's such a wonderful cause and she felt so good
about it and I know you feel great too about helping another. I can hardly
wait for school to start and see your new do! I bet it's super cute and I bet
you've gotten some great clothes for school too. You are always such a
stylish girl and I love it! If you aren't in the same 1st grade class as
Andrew this year then I'll watch for you in the lunch room or in the hallways
to say hi. Keep feeling and doing better each and every day. I hope the sun
stays around all weekend so you can catch up even more on "summer" play time.
Looking forward to seeing you at school real soon. - Mrs. Miller, Andrew and
family

I'm glad healing and recovery is going so well Olivia. Ariel misses being
able to play with you and is filling her Fun Box with prizes for when she can
see you again. When I was little I spent several years in and out of a
Ronald McDonald house for doctors to help my heart. I am glad you have such a
safe and comfortable place to stay while you get better!! We Love You....

I have been following and reading updates all day, and have had all of you
angels in my thougths and prayers, Danica, Liv, Kimberly, Bruce, and all of
Liv's family, Jenn, Mia, Pam (although I have not met you as yet I can I
imagine you could use some thoughts and prayers coming your way as well)....
I always let my mind go and think of all the ways I could "help", and then
realize you are all surounded by so many hands and hearts, sometimes thoughts
and prayers are the least intrusive way to help. Do know that if any of you
need anything, ever... I will always do whatever I can to be there for you.
*hugs* I'm smiling, and filled with joy for all the blessings this day has
brought. P.S. As I closed one of my classes today, I took a page from Jenn
and had the students reach up and grab something they were grateful for and
place it in their heart. I grabbed all of you, and hold you in my heart with
gratitude.

Been hooked to my e-mail all day watching the blogs from Mia sounds like
everything has went as planned.Just letting you know that this little girl
has touched my heart.i had never met Liv but when I saw her at Boxx's Berry
Festival with ice cream all over her face I knew that there was only one
mission that I wanted to work for and that was Livlife. My granddaughter was
born as a preemie at Swedish 10 years ago only being 2 lbbs 2 oz. and we were
told that she would be far behind all other kids her age but she was like Liv
and fought her way through life and has not missed a heartbeat along the way.
Please let me know whatever I can do to help out your family while you are
away and I will continue to work the Ferndale Farmers Market or wherever I am
needed. I sent out a e-mail to my addresss book and everyone has put your
family and Danika on there list.Love to all, Nancy Nordby

You're in my thoughts... constantly. The inspiration from this weekend can't
be fully put into words how much it's affected me. My power rock is in my
hand, your strength and courage is in my heart, and my willingness to be
there at a moment's notice is very present. I'd love to visit and read

Hey Danica! I've been reading about you and Olivia and just wanted to say how
incredible I think you are. It's absolutely amazing what you're doing -
something that not many people would. You two have been in my thoughts since
I first read the story and you will continue to be as you go through
everything tomorrow. I hope it all goes perfectly and that the recovery is
easy for both of you. If there is ever anything you need from Michigan,
please send me a note! Oh yeah, and I have a fundraising idea for you...you
could sing and make a cd of your own...you always had such a beautiful voice
- it would totally sell!! I'd even play the piano for you! :) Take care. XXO,

To the dearest people I could possibly ever know...Danica, Liv and
Kimberly...tomorrow is the day....it's here and it's a miracle. I am
continually reminded of the wonders that our world holds...the beauty of the
souls that we cross paths with....sometimes it feels chaotic and crazy and
that we meet "by chance"..but I know that we are all meant to be in each
others lives...a part of a wonderfully divine plan. I am eternally
yours......and each day, when I feel that I love you as much as I possibly
could....I find that I love you even more at the end of each day. Miss Mia

is.....and so much joy! She could not be this way without your guidance......

I was wondering can one simply donate a kidney? If so... is her blood type A
+? Not something I considered when i woke up this morning and was having my
1st cup of coffee. However, God leads us in directions for a reason. My name
is Joseph Balestrino. I live in Federal Way, Wa. If I am a compatible donor I
would like to help. Hope My desire to help is not misguided. God Bless,

Hello Olivia. I just want to say that even though I haven't met you. (My
sister Holly works with Danica). I can say that I know for a fact how strong,
brave and wonderful of a person you are. All families go through tough times
and I am praying for your entire family. Just remember God brought Danica
into your life for a reason. You will always be blessed by him, and I have a
feeling he has great plans and needs of you in your future. Take care, and
God Bless. Love, Patrick W. Donovan

I am praying for Olivia and a successful translplant. I too have PKD and am
living with dialysis and the hopes for a transplant. I cannot imagine being a
child going thru this or having my child go thru it.

Yay! YAY! Yay! Wahoo! LivFest gathered hundreds of beautiful community
members and raised at least $15,000! ...with more still waiting to be
tallied. :) Then The Market BBQ raised over $10,000 more this weekend! With
personal donations made directly to the COTA website being added daily, it's
safe to say that we've raised close to $30,000 in two weekends! ....THANK
YOU so much to everyone who has lent a hand!

Hi Olivia! This is Shelby. We went to preschool together at Miss Patti's. I
just wanted to say Hi and I will be a LivLife tomorrow, if I'm feeling
better. I can't wait to see you. I miss you lots. I had surgery on Wednesday.
I will be praying for you and thinking about you when you have your surgery.
When you are feeling better, I hope we can play at the fountain in Ferndale
again, and maybe you can come to my grandma's house again and play. Love you
Olivia! From, Shelby

Livfest was a success! being a Windward High school student I really wanted
to to help out, so I came and volunteered and managed the bean bag station
for awhile, although dangerous, it was all worth the while when Olivia gave a
try and made it!

Hello Olivia! I got a chance to talk with you at the Festival on Saturday,
you are such a ray of sunshine! I hope you had as fun of a time as I did. I
bought one of your lovely Liv Life bracelets and I wear it every day to
remind me of you and how wonderful and strong you are.

for you every night. Just wanted to let you know how many people are thinking
about you.

Hi Olivia! I have never met you but I will try to remember to pray for you. I
know Jesus loves you! I am almost 19 years old but I have a little sister who
is 5. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son [Jesus], that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life." I hope you get all better soon! :)

It was such a pleasure and an honour to be there at LIV FEST on Saturday.
What a great day to help celebrate such a wonderful cause. And....the weather
cooperated. We hope that this extraordinary event helped to collect thousands
of $$$$$$. I took a few photos and I'll forward them on to Danica soon. You
will be in our constant thoughts and prayers. Danica will keep us updated as
we see her quite often at Anthony's. Love and All the Best from Larry and
Robert ( Vancouver, Canada )

Dear Olivia and Danica, Larry Bauer and Robert Morgan sent me your story. I

especially your mom. I will be praying for you my dear and sending lots of
love your way. Your friend, Tara To the Cook Family: You will be in my

Each morning as you walk into our classroom with your cheerful warm smile
(even when your tummy is not feeling so happy) brings great joy to me.
Knowing that I have had an opportunity to spend another day with such a
special little gal that you are, and to see you trudge through seemingly long
boring days at school makes me realize you are the bravest little princess to
walk the halls of Cascadia. Your kinder friends and Cascadia staff send you
our love, well wishes and support. Stay Strong Keep Smiling and 'Big Hugs For
You From Me'! Yep, I'll see you on May 22nd!

more and more. I really loved having you over to visit my little farm. I sure
hope you enjoyed seeing the animals! Maybe some day, when you're ready you
can ride my horse. He is pretty big, but he is very sweet. I even know of a
smaller horse that you could ride. Your music festival is coming up very soon
and I think you are going to have such a wonderful time dancing and playing!
I know I will play with you! Love you punkin and see you soon! Miss Mia

Hey Kiddo! Got the postcard prints today and have been handing them out like
hot cakes! Your cute little sillouette in pink on the horizon of the rockin
crowd is the perfect final touch... everything about this campaign is
perfect! Yesterday, Mary from Copies Now donated 500 business cards out of
her own pocket! Today I picked up hundreds of copies of your postcards
from Jim, with even more to come! Tonight, Tammi and Grace came into the
restaurant with their husbands; when they heard our story, they cried, gave
us both praises and said they'd be praying for us all throughout this entire
journey. I know they will. Grace said she's going to put your picture on
her fridge as a reminder of Love and Goodness... I know what she means, I
already done the same. ...the days are busy and long preparing for LivFest in
three weeks... but with so many angels in this community, and with your
smiling face, Every Step of This Journey is a Blessing and an Honor to Take.
Thank you Kiddo- for all that you do, and all that you are! I love
you-
