Thank you again for your donations during our July fundraiser. Our winner, K, attended the Red Sox game and batting practice with the Fund's thank-you tickets (a big thank you to our friend, M, for donating them to us for our giveaway) and was kind enough to email a photo to share with the group. If you look at the background, you can see Big Papi standing there! I'm so glad you had a great time, K, and appreciate the support so many of you showed last month.
As some of you may have heard through our Facebook updates, Eddie has had a very bad week this week. In fact, it's probably the worst he's been through; we're grateful to hear today from Kori that he seems to be recovering, though he remains in the ICU. As she told me today, the lung transplant team says Eddie needed his double lungs "yesterday." Please pray with us for courage, strength, and a fighter's will for Eddie--and his entire family. Eddie really does need a miracle.
I'm grateful to so many of you who have continued to donate, brought meals to Eddie's brother and grandfather, visited, sent gifts by mail...I know Eddie and his mom draw a lot of strength from our support, our prayers, and our love.
On behalf of Eddie and his family, we appreciate you.
Melissa
