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.

Change in Plans

Dear Supporters of Eddie's Fund,

After talking with Kori today, we've decided to postpone our Eddie's Fund celebration, originally scheduled for July 26, indefinitely. Kori begins a new job next week and both she and Marshall continue to be sick off and on this month. It's just a lot to try to add an event to a month in which so much is happening for them.

Thank you for your understanding, and as always, your support. We can cheer Kori on in other ways this month as she makes her return to the working world! I am so happy for her.

Please remember that the Fund will not accept donations after July 30th. If you are a monthly contributor to Eddie's Fund, you will want to stop your support next month. On August 1st, all funds remaining in the account will go directly to Kori to help her continue to get up on her feet. I anticipate that this will be about $1,000. If you'd like to leave the family with more remaining funds, please feel free to donate one last time before July 30th.

I hope you'll continue to support Kori and Marshall with your friendship and love as they continue to grieve while also working out a new life together. I am speechless--really, so overwhelmed--when I think about the outpouring of love you all have given through the Fund in these last 7 years. Thank you, dear friends.

With admiration,
Melissa
