hey girls, i need your help.

a friend whom I was very close with as a child is VERY ill - just recieved her SECOND bilateral lung transplant in less than 2 years.

her family is from Brookville, she was a graduate of Oyster Bay HS. She is currently in PA where she just recieved her second bilateral lung transplant in the end of june.

Organ transplants typically total $500,000.00 in expenses when all is said and done and insurance does not cover a LARGE portion of expenses.

My friends parents are having a fund raiser in October and I'd like to help in anyway that I can. I was thinking that we could donate items for raffles (they have asked for donations for raffles) I know that my shower is approaching and Im sure that I will have new items I can part with.

here is the link to Melissa's website. Take a look girls. Melissa has CF... most dont make it to 20, she is 24 and so eager to live.

Let me know if you can help, Ill be in contact with Melissa's mom Maureen.

Karin

a second chance at life, one breath at a time

I made a cash donation on the site. It wasn't much, but hopefully it will help.
