Eddie's Fund: July 2011

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.

Eddie's Fund Runs on COFFEE!

It's Summertime! Which means for us here at Eddie's Fund, we're enjoying the sun, more time with our families and of course, frequent cups of ice cold coffee. As we sipped our java recently we thought about all the different brews and brands we've tried and we remembered...we need to place our July coffee order online! And so do you! Because when you purchase your java through "Just Love Coffee Store" (http://www.justlovecoffee.com/EddiesFund), $5 of each bag goes directly to Eddie's Fund. That's right! $5 of EACH bag! And you're getting delicious, free-trade organic coffees coupled with knowing you're donating directly to a wonderful family.

We hope you'll make buying coffee through Just Love Coffee a regular part of your grocery shopping. You can order one bag at a time or sign up to receive a monthly automatic shipment. Either way, Eddie's Fund receives $5 PER BAG. You're spending the money on coffee anyway, why not donate at the same time?

We've set a goal of adding 40 people ordering 2 bags per month, which would be a donation of $400 per month. Will you join us in this great cause?

We'd also like to add to our contribution base. Would you send an email to us at eddiesfund@gmail.com with at least FIVE email addresses of friends or family you know who would participate in this simple fundraiser?

Thanks on behalf of Eddie and his family!
