Eddie's Fund: September 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.

thank you!

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your GENEROUS donations to Eddie's Fund this month! Together we raised $1,530 for Eddie and his family!

We so appreciate your kindness to them.

We've chosen at random (using random.org) the recipient of the Rockin' August Giveaway's iPod touch, and that person is Amanda C. Thank you all again for participating with Eddie's Fund in caring for Eddie this month.

Eddie is home from the ICU and hospital as of this morning; thank you, too, for praying for him during his procedure this week. The lung transplant team continues to gather data as they hope to move Eddie forward toward getting the two lungs he needs. Kori, his mom, was very moved when I told her on the phone today how much we had raised in just 31 days to see their family through the next few months. You did that. Thank you.

We appreciate your care for this family so much.

Love,
Melissa
