Eddie's Fund: November 2013

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.

Share Eddie-Love this Holiday Season

Dear Friends,

The holiday season is here! And Eddie's Fund would like to invite you to consider a donation to the Fund as a gift for a friend or family member this holiday season.

Eddie's Fund has reached an all-time low; by the end of December, there will be no money in the Fund at all. As you know, Eddie's situation is no better--Eddie has been in and out of the hospital and is waiting to be re-listed on the lung transplant list, Kori is still unable to work, and the Fund continues to help Eddie and his family pay bills every month.

That's why your support of the Fund this holiday season is not just a nice idea--it's crucial.

Those who donate $25 or more to Eddie's Fund between now and Christmas will receive by email a gift card that can be printed and given to a family member or friend. You can see the gift card here. The card makes a beautiful gift and lets your friend know that you gave the best gift of all--a donation in their name to a deserving boy and his family.

You can donate online via PayPal using our link on this webpage.

Thank you for supporting Eddie's Fund this holiday season! Your support and care for Eddie and his family means so much, especially this month and particularly during this season of peace and goodwill.

Happy holidays!
Melissa for Eddie's Fund
