Fundraiser in my Etsy and Artfire shops

A friend of the family woke up Saturday and went to wake up his 3 month old son for the day and found an angel instead.  Both parents work in jobs where they have no sick or personal days.  Understandably, they are taking time off of work to grieve.  Donations have been made to cover the funeral, but they have other children and bills that need to be paid.

They have no photos of the baby except cell phone photos.  I am going to transfer them to my computer and try to enlarge them in Photoshop.  If anyone has any tips to get a decent 4x6 or 5x7 from a cell phone photo, please share.  I am also taking angel photos for them so they will have some photos of him to remember him.  If anyone has any advice for this as well, please let me know.  I'm very nervous that I won't be able to honor him properly.

I am donating 30% of my shop proceeds this week (1/17/11-1/23/11) to the family.  If you would like to help, mention Gage in notes to seller and I will donate 30% of the total before shipping.
