She is the sun! 🌞 Viva Babe Carrie shines regardless of the storms and is our newest ‘It’s Not About the Bag’ program honoree! 🎉⠀
⠀
Carrie lives in Austin, Texas, and was nominated by her cousin Jo Anna. Despite unrelenting adversities, Carrie has weathered her storms with resilience, light, and love. 🌅 Carrie’s mother died of leukemia when she was only 9. When she was seven months pregnant with their second daughter, her husband Tony had emergency surgery to remove a kidney tumor. Jo Anna shares, “So their recovery (post-baby #2 and post-surgery #1) was together, with Carrie carrying most of the weight, supporting her family emotionally, mentally, and always with a smile.” 😀 Then, two years later, Tony was diagnosed with completely unrelated brain cancer and underwent brain surgery when Carrie was eight months pregnant. With three children under six years old and a husband undergoing chemotherapy, “Carrie was still making them homemade meals, still trying to raise sweet and compassionate children, and posting pictures of life's little successes.” 💫💕⠀
⠀
“And then, one day, they built a foundation. Together. 💑 The Tony Foundation assists families whose primary breadwinner is stricken with a critical illness and incapacitated. It was born out of their strife, their frustration, and their love for humanity. 💗 Carrie is the brightest light I've ever known. You feel it the second you meet her. Her power comes from a place deep within her,” shares Jo Anna. 💪⠀
⠀
Wow! Carrie, your tenacity is remarkable. Your rays of sunshine brighten the world and are lighting the way for others. You are unstoppable‼️ 🙌⠀
