Eddie's Fund: May 2012

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.

The Giveaway Finishes Strong!

Thank you, friends, for participating in our Hoping for Spring Giveaway! The winner of our Kindle Fire is...Christine B! We raised $2040 for the Fund in ONE MONTH. Thank you, thank you! When I began the Giveaway this month, I had no idea how sick Eddie would become--he has been in the hospital now for 12 days, and remains in the ICU. The doctors strongly suspect GVHD (bone marrow transplant rejection disease) of the lungs. Please continue to pray with us for him. And thank you for providing for them when they are most in need. We love you for loving them with us.
