We hope that during the three months to come we can achieve that goal. The vision is to cover enough ground at Camp Sunshine, where family and friends of Mylia can see her legacy live on at a place that they all knew made a difference in Mylia’s life. And not only help a fine organization at the same time build the brick walkway next to their playground,” says a Novel Shoppe spokesperson.
