Jaimie's Dream Hot Tub

Hi guys! With summer approaching, I thought it'd be nice to take a look back at one of Jaimie's happiest days - the day she was gifted a Hot Tub. It was a dream of Jaimie's to have one in her backyard, but with the constant medical bills, her family just couldn't afford it. So, just like any kid would, Jaimie took it upon herself to start fundraising. And by fundraising I mean creating a "Hot Tub Fund Jar" a few years back. But even after the ounces of coins and few bills, her and her parents still could not manage to afford one. 

 At this time, Jaimie's family reached out for help. According to Jaimie's mom:

  "That is where Joe from Aqua Play comes in – my niece contacted many many spa companies and stores for their help in getting my daughter her hot tub.  Many said they would give us their hot tub wholesale, but we still were not close to the $ amount needed.  And then she spoke to Joe – Joe along with Bullfrog agreed to take whatever dollar amount we had raised and get my daughter into her hot tub.

 On June 10th, 2012 – my daughter’s wish came true and her hot tub was delivered by Joe and his amazing team. This hot tub has been the best thing for my daughter. She sat and stared at her hot tub all day, waiting for it to finish filling up.  After not being able to wait another second, my daughter climbed into the hot tub before it was even filled.  The water was 65 degree’s and she was sitting in it with pure joy!  The very next day Jaimie had to undergo a 4 hour MRI where she would be put under anesthesia.  Having this hot tub delivered the day before her MRI was the best distraction my daughter could have."

 Joe DiDomizo from Aqua Play and Bullfrog Spas changed Jaimie's life by giving her the hot tub of her dreams. Read the whole story from Debbie's perspective here at: http://www.bullfrogspas.com/hot-tub-blog/little-girls-dream-hot-tub/. It is an amazing account of what this act of generosity did for our little girl! And even better, when we visit, we are able to take full advantage of its perks, while watching Jaimie be the happiest mermaid that she is.

    Jamie actually so adorable!! That picture is too cute. I like how you made the connection between the hot tub and summer to make the post relevant. Once again, this post is inspiring and made me happy. It’s amazing the generosity that exits- sometimes we forget how nice people can be and it’s cool to be reminded from your blog. The only thing I’d mention is this post seemed to consist of more quotes than your own voice. But other than that, awesome job!

    So, who doesn't love hot tubs? Like Dana said, this was a good connection between summer and a hot tub. Jamie is inspiring because she takes the initiative to meet her goals. It was nice that Joe and his team were able to help. I liked the picture at the bottom especially because the tub is not filled. It shows her excitement waiting for it to be ready. Last, I enjoyed having some dialogue from her mother over the hot tub. It changes the story's perspective too.
