Ervin started renting out inflatables in 2012 so she could take her family on a trip to Disneyland after her late daughter, Hannah, was diagnosed with cancer. That summer she rented a Little Tykes bouncy castle to friends and family, and the next year, people wanted to rent from her again.
B次元官网网址淒uring my daughterB次元官网网址檚 battle with cancer it was the best job I could have ever asked for because I could be right by her side and be working from my phone controlling life, back home, from hospitals,B次元官网网址� she said.
There is an open police file with the West Shore RCMP and on April 9, a white Toyota 4Runner was seen travelling northbound on the Trans Canada Highway with the bouncy castle strapped to the roof.
She does have a cash reward of $1,000 for the return of the castle, however she would prefer to see the castle returned to her. A friend has also created a with the goal of raising money for a new bouncy castle.
