3841 Bellaire Blvd. (July 1st, 2010) – I W Marks Jewelers wants to thank all of you who in the midst of a rain storm and a holiday weekend came to our auction. Thank you to everyone for your generous donations and especially Del Frisco's for catering the entire event!!! The auction which was held on Thursday, July 1st from 5pm-7pm at I W Marks was a huge success raising $16,000. While most families make summer plans and look forward to exciting trips, the Schuler family of Houston is anticipating a long road of a different sort. Lucy, their 3-year-old daughter will endure spinal taps, chemotherapy, and other treatments aimed at saving her life. The treatment process is costly and will last 2 ½ years.
100% of all donations and money from the auction were given to Lucy’s family to directly assist with payment of costly Chemotherapy and additional treatments.

The Schuler family has had a difficult time. Bruce Schuler, Lucy’s dad, was laid off for 14 months. Shortly after Bruce went back to work, the family started to notice changes in little Lucy. She was more lethargic and irritable. She complained of leg pain and developed a limp. On April 2nd of this year, Lucy was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and admitted to Texas Children’s Hospital. (ALL) is a fast-growing cancer of the white blood cells. With proper treatment there is hope. Kelly, Lucy's mom, has taken a leave of absence to be with Lucy during her treatment. Kelly loves teaching but is unsure about when she will be able to return to work. thank you for helping us help Lucy so she can become the vibrant little girl she is meant to be.
