About Eddie's Fund

In 2006, our 10-year-old son had a bone marrow transplant. While recovering in isolation at home, he determined to do something to help a bone marrow transplant family we had met while in the hospital. Something to help his new friend, Eddie. We started Eddie's Fund that week, and seven years later, as Eddie continues his post-transplant recovery and waits for a double lung transplant, our family of five continues to raise funds for Eddie and his family. 100% of all donations to the Fund are paid directly to bill companies to help Eddie's family financially manage the intensity of Eddie's recovery. On behalf of Eddie and his family, we thank you for offering hope and help and joining with us to support our buddy, Eddie.

thank you...and prayers

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your Christmas card purchases and holiday donations! Together, we raised $1,600 for Eddie's Fund. Every month as I pay the bills that keep Eddie's family afloat, I'm so grateful to you on their behalf.

Please continue in your prayers for Eddie. The last 2 months have been full of difficult news regarding Eddie's health; today he's being admitted to the hospital after another epileptic episode. My heart breaks for our buddy Eddie and for his five-year fight against aplastic anemia and transplant rejection disease. Tonight I'm asking God how long an amazing boy must suffer, and pleading again for a miracle.

No one wants a miracle more than Eddie's mom Kori. On the phone with her today, your donations and outpouring of support for Eddie continue to sustain her. Your acts of kindness help her to know she is not forgotten. While I wonder why Eddie suffers, I also marvel at how much love and hope he has awakened in all of us. Your great love for a boy most of you have never met is divinely inspired.

Thank you for continuing to support Eddie's Fund whenever and however you can. Today, he needs your prayers.

With hope for Eddie,
Melissa
