Dear Friends,
Thank you for your Christmas card purchases and holiday donations! Together, we raised $1,600 for Eddie's Fund. Every month as I pay the bills that keep Eddie's family afloat, I'm so grateful to you on their behalf.
Please continue in your prayers for Eddie. The last 2 months have been full of difficult news regarding Eddie's health; today he's being admitted to the hospital after another epileptic episode. My heart breaks for our buddy Eddie and for his five-year fight against aplastic anemia and transplant rejection disease. Tonight I'm asking God how long an amazing boy must suffer, and pleading again for a miracle.
No one wants a miracle more than Eddie's mom Kori. On the phone with her today, your donations and outpouring of support for Eddie continue to sustain her. Your acts of kindness help her to know she is not forgotten. While I wonder why Eddie suffers, I also marvel at how much love and hope he has awakened in all of us. Your great love for a boy most of you have never met is divinely inspired.
Thank you for continuing to support Eddie's Fund whenever and however you can. Today, he needs your prayers.
With hope for Eddie,
Melissa

buy your holiday cards...and give to Eddie's Fund
What could be better than buying your holiday cards and knowing that 100% of your purchase was donated to Eddie's Fund?
Pictured to the right, the holiday cards are beautifully desgined by a local mural artist...incidentally, the same mural artist who designed the murals for Orilus and Eddie's hematology floor at Mass General Hospital. Thank you, Jon Winchell of Winchell Arts! The donation of this print to our fundraiser, and the donation of the printing service (thank you, 1-Stop Design Shop, at www.1stopdesign.com!) has resulted in a ONE HUNDRED PERCENT overhead-free fundraiser for Eddie's Fund!
We couldn't be more excited about the sale of these cards! Beginning now, place your order via PayPal (see the "Donate" button to the right). PayPal will notify me via email when your order has been placed, and I will email you within 24 hours to confirm your order and ask for your mailing address. Beginning Thanksgiving week, your order will be shipped to you...you will have helped an amazing family AND finished your holiday card shopping!
For every $20 donation, you will receive 20 holiday cards with envelopes. The inside of the card reads, "Happy Holidays," and the back names the artist and lets the recipient know that the card represents a donation to Eddie's Fund.
We hope that you'll join us this holiday season as we continue to bring "peace on earth" to a family whose peace of mind, heart, and body really matters to us. Thank you for continuing to love Eddie and his family with us.
Happy holidays!

Celtics ticket thank you
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for the donations we collected for our Celtics ticket giveaway October fundraiser! Our winner was drawn today (thanks to Moriah, who knows now how to take things "out" of a box) and has been notified. Mostly, though, we're grateful for these donations, which will help to keep Eddie's family afloat through holiday-time.
Blessings to you,
Melissa
