After the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., in December, Cheryl Sobieraj Wadhwa told her four children that they needed to do something to help.

The family -- including mom, dad Sunil Wadhwa, 13-year-old Nikhil, 11-year-old twins Jenny and Maya, and 6-year-old Adri -- had moved to Newtown less than two years before 20 elementary school students and six adults were killed by a gunman just weeks before Christmas.

"You have to do something to heal. Even the smallest amount makes a difference," Sobieraj Wadhwa said.

While no one in the Wadhwa family attended Sandy Hook, a close friend lost a brother in the tragedy.

"I thought [the children] would just write a note or donate their favorite stuffed animal," Sobieraj Wadhwa continued.

But the twin girls decided to bake. They would hold 20 bake sales -- one in memory of each child who was killed -- to raise money for the Newtown Memorial Fund (www.newtownmemorialfund.org).

Now, one of their sales is coming to Wareham.

The twins named the sales "Caring Cupcakes Bake and Bow Sales," and raised more than $4,000 in just a few weeks earlier this year.

But they needed help from friends and family across the country in order to make all 20 of the sales happen.

That's when grandma stepped in!

Marion resident Elizabeth Sobieraj and her husband, William, are parishioners of St. Patrick's Church. On Sunday, March 17, the couple will host one of the bake sales there.

"It's a great way for them to do something," said Sobieraj Wadhwa. "When you're 11, what are you going to do?"

Elizabeth Sobieraj, who many may recognize from Wareham Child Care, where she is the site coordinator for school-age childcare at Decas Elementary, echoed that sentiment.

"It's keeping them busy and keeping their mind off some of it," she said.

Jenny says she and Maya are having a great time helping. People who don't want baked goods can get a ribbon, handmade by the twins, instead.

"We have a bunch of different ribbons," Jenny explained, noting that some are green for the school's color, some are mixed with white, some have clay hearts, and others have silver or white sequins.

In addition to towns in Connecticut, cousins in Florida have also hosted sales for the twins. A total of 16 bake sales have taken place thus far.

Jenny said she was shocked that so many people in so many places wanted to help.

"It's just, they're all really, really nice," she said.

The bake sale will be held at St. Patrick's Church, located at 82 High Street in Wareham, on March 17, following all three Sunday Masses, which are scheduled for 8 a.m., 10 a.m., and 11:30 a.m.
