Eddie's mom, Kori, has been so grateful for the meals we've delivered so far to her dad and her other son. I'm especially grateful to you; Kori is wearing herself out going back and forth each day from Eddie's side to her son in Salem, trying to spread herself out between her two boys as much as she can. So I'm so thankful for the ways you've stepped in to bring practical, needed help three days a week to their home.
If you are not in Salem but would like to be a part of our meal-delivery efforts, I've had a brainstorm: What about if you called a local establishment on a particular night (you can sign up for this evening on our online calendar by using the link below) and have it delivered to them? If you do this, please do tell the food delivery folks to leave the food if no one answers (it can be left at the front door). And, don't forget to pay the tip ahead of time when you place your order. Local sub shops in Salem and Lynn are ideal.

Once you're there, click the "Join this Community" link and fill out the request form. Because this is a private community, please be sure to let me and my friend Rebekah (who is helping me manage the site) know how we know you, so that we can ensure that Eddie's home information is shared only among friends. Once you're approved, you'll receive an email with your approval notification and an invite to sign in to the community.
Once you're in, please use our Help Calendar to choose a date for bringing or delivering a meal to Salem. And if you can, tell us what you're bringing/having delivered so we can all do our best to give them some variety along the way. Kori's dad and son are easy--they eat everything and have no dietary restrictions.
For now, we've added meal opportunities for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. If we can fill these, we can add others. Thank you, friends, for loving on Eddie and his family with us. We appreciate you more than we can say.
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.
