This post is from Minna, a longtime friend of the Whitts:
Several people have inquired about making donations to the Whitt family to help offset the costs they’ve incurred through Tuesday’s fight against neuroblastoma. Therefore I have established the “Tuesday Fiona Whitt Memorial Fund” through the FirstBank here in Parker, Colorado.
If you would like to make a contribution please feel free to do so by sending your donation to this address:
Attn: Theresa Emery
Tuesday Fiona Whitt Memorial Fund
10961 South Parker Road
Parker, Colorado 80134
If you would prefer to make a donation to pediatric cancer research in Tuesday’s name, www.magicwater.org or the Children’s Hospital in Denver Colorado www.thechildrenshospital.org/give/donate.aspx are two good choices.
Please know that all of your love, thoughts and prayers are so very much appreciated.
“Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others…for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.”
Albert Einstein
Thank you for this information.
I love the quote at the end.
Minna, I have a question for you. I raised some money via my blog and I’m wondering if it’s best to send it to this address, or if it’s best to use paypal on some of the blogs of friends of the Whitts? Or doesn’t it matter? I just want to do whatever is easiest for the family. Thank you for your time!

Will be praying for your family. Being a heartbroken mommy myself of a 3yr son that fought the fight of neuroblasotma but was not a survivor, our raos is long and arduous but with a Great God, the Creator of our little ones, He will abound graces that may even feel unknown and unfeeling today but His river is flowing and His supply knows no limit….Oh, Lord cover this family with all that you are and have…..

I am so glad to see that there is a way to help out. I am just so saddened by Tuesdays departure. I’ve wanted to help in some way. Thanks for posting this.

Ok, now i can see it 😉
What a wonderful friend you have been Minna!
I so look forward to meeting you on Saturday.
Many blessings to you.

My heart goes out to you and your family! I stumbled on your blog last night and I have thought of Tuesday and you, all day long.
Your story has touched me so deeply and in very specific ways. My family and I have been trying to decide what cause we wanted to start donating too. With so many out there it is hard to choose. However, Tuesday’s fight and her legacy has inspired me and we will be donating to St. Judes or one of the organizations you have listed.
Tuesday’s story, as well as your story, has also touched me and has cemented in my brain, even deeper, that I MUST trust in HIM. That God is SO good and has a plan for us all. We might not understand it or like, but He is glorious and “Blessed all they that put their trust in Him!” Psalm 2:12
My heart broke for you last night when I read your story. But I just imagined the party that they are having in Heaven for Tuesday!!
God Bless You!! You will be in our prayers!
Whitt Family, I am a complete stranger to you….a fellow blogger who followed a friend of a friend of a friends blog and came across little Tuesday. I am writing this because I can’t sleep, I can hardly eat, I am a dental student and mother of two small boys and I can hardly function in my daily activities after reading your story….I can’t imagine how you are feeling. My little boy keeps asking me why I am crying and I don’t even know what to tell him. I don’t know if it was just your writings, or the fact that she is a twin, or that they are around the same age as my little ones but I have never had anything strike me like your story has and I don’t even know you. I know this can not help in any way but after two days of feeling this way I just had to leave you a comment….to let you know that a total stranger living many states away is thinking about you and your family 24 hours a day. There is nothing that can blink away your pain, but I hope you will find some comfort and peace in knowing you are not alone in this world. The cycle of life seems cruel sometimes, but I also see on your blog three other children who are so beautiful and they are so lucky to have parents as caring as you. I pray that they will keep you going when you feel like you can’t take another breath. I pray you will find as much joy in the years to come as the sorrow you feel right now, and I know that Tuesday has not left at all, just hanging out someewhere much more comforting that this earth and she will be with you and your family every day and you will feel her there. Bless you and your family. Lauren T., Kentucky
Thanks for posting the information. Debi is right, you are an amazing friend.
Glad to be able to be there on Saturday.

Thank you for sharing the information. I will post it on my blog after Valentines Day. I hope I can send at least one extra person their way to support their needs. God Bless and much Aloha,

Thank you for putting together a fund for this deserving family.
My prayers continue to be with all of you.
I’m here praying right now!
Psalms 46:1-5 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

Thank you for sharing this information.
God Bless.
you and your family are in my prayers..
Sending hugs and lots of love.
Praying for your family as you prepare for Tuesday’s celebration of life service tomorrow. I am so sorry that you are enduring this and pray for Gods peace and love to carry your broken hearts. I will be with you in spirit tomorrow.
Love and Hugs, Laurie
Thanks so much for the info, is there anyway to set up a pay pal account that people could contribute to directly?
Your story has changed me forever. May Christs peace and love sweep your family in the coming months. Much love from Cape Town, South Africa
I can see the post and it’s a wonderful idea. As soon as finances allow, I will send something in memorial for sweet little Tuesday 🙂 What a wonderful idea.
I will add your family to my prayer list. Your beautiful Tuesday will be a beautiful angel in heaven. I have been so touched by these stories of such great faith and strength when going through so much heart ache and sorrow. My friend’s daughter Tess, age 4, was just diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma. Another young sweet princess in need of lots of prayers. Thank you for sharing your story.
I was watching our video on http://www.miracleparty.org and there right at the beginning is TUESDAY…right after the still pictures…she is so beautiful and precious and her sister and mommy….a night to remember all the children. A night to honor those that are in Heaven. It was a privilege to spend some time with you all that night and in the hospital. You, sweet Tuesday, will be one of the many reasons I will never give up on this fight. You are beautiful. Your face in the video says it all.
I’ve only been reading your blog a few days, havng found it through another “baby blog” I follow, but I just wanted to say I hope all goes well for Tuesday’s “wagie ride” and the rest of the celebration. Best wishes to everyone.
Wishing peace to you and your family. I am so sorry you have to go through this. Please know you are in our prayers.
Beautiful work Ron.
P R A Y I N G T O D A Y!
God bless you Whitt family!
Thinking of you today as you celebrate Tuesday’s life and sending positive thoughts your way
Jamie
Thank you for giving us this information. I want the Whitt family to know how many lives they have touched. I am posting about a way to honor Tuesday on Tuesday of this upcoming week. It is a way to honor her through “Family Night”. I will continue posting this once a month in her honor.
I hope the parade went well today and I also hope the weather was nice. God Bless Whitt family.
Thinking of you. My heart is breaking for you.
I was going through my Great Grandma’s things today. She lost 5 of her 10 children to childhood disease. In her diary she had written a passage down multiple times. I am guessing that it brought comfort to her. It read:
Weep for me not my Mother Dear.
I know right now nothing is clear.
I was yours but God’s alone.
He loved me best and took me home.
I just stumbled upon your blog a couple of weeks ago. I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. My thoughts and prayers have been with you and your children, and especially Tuesday. Friends of ours lost their daughter a little over a year ago, and have since started a foundation called Gloria’s Angels. If you ever need support or encouragement from those who have been through something similar, I know that they would be more than willing to share their story – Gloria’s story. God is never nearer than when we suffer, and I pray that you feel His peace and love drawing you in.
Continuing to lift up prayers!
Psalms 46:10-11 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

God bless you all. May your little angel remain forever in your hearts. You have touched so many with your life and your love for one another. You have taught many a great lesson.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of precious Tuesday. Praying for your family as your endure this unthinkable loss.
just checking back, sending a little more love, wanting you to know that Tuesday and Piper and all of you have been on my mind and my heart this week.
in the strange ways of the blogosphere, i only found you all the morning after Tuesday died…but i watched her dance and i read the lyrics to This Must Be the Place and i wept.
i can’t remember – apologies if this is redundant – but a few of us who’ve grieved our children gather at glowinthewoods.com, just to abide, to share. most of us there lost babies, which i think is a different experience than you’ve been through…but i suspect the after and the emptiness might not be so different. you are very welcome, just in case you need a place.
and again, i am so very sorry. Tuesday, full of grace, indeed.
Jessica… I took the kids out on Saturday… we spent time looking up at the clouds and finding shapes and all I could think about was Little Tuesday up in heaven loving that so many people were out on ‘Waggie rides’ All our love,
Chrisssie
We were unable to do “Waggie Rides” to honor Tuesday but we did sled rides instead! More then once I looked to the Heavens and thought of you all and your sweet daughter. God Bless you on this journey and please know that even those of us that don’t know you personally have been touched by your sweet angel! Praying for you!!
I am so glad you are doing this Minna. Jessica Kate, Charley, you and your children are in our prayers tonight.
Lovely Quote! Thank you for the info.
Tuesday is beautiful. I just wanted to tell you that. Your family is beautiful and I share in your sorrow as I read your story (tears roll down my face at the thought of losing a child) I too nurse my babies, and thank God for those special moments too! I pray for God’s love and healing light to wash a peace over you and your whole family. Remember all the good things!
Mr. and Mrs. Slug regularly give to St. Jude and want you to know that we care. Bless you! Lots of love from Mrs. Slug
