if you help...

On Saturday, April 24th, our nephew/godson was killed in a tragic accident. He was 16 months old.

Our family is devasted. Please help something good come from this incomprehensible grief.

Adriann & Bill (his parents) would like to create a loving memorial that will capture the joyful spirit that Alec shared with everyone throughout his short life. We're working with the Helping Hands Rescue Mission to create a memorial playground for disadvantaged children.

PLEASE help with whatever you can contribute to this wonderful cause.

You may send your donations to:
Helping Hands Rescue Mission
In Memory of Alec William Nelson
PO Box 325
Huntington Station, NY 11746-0265

or paypal them to [email protected]

Here's Alec:

PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION ALONG.THANK YOU.

Re: something good can come from this tragedy...

please girls, even if its just $1, please donate. With the hundreds of people on LIW, $1 each would add up quickly.

Debbie-

Thank you for asking! We're all hanging in there. My SIL & BIL have good days and bad (today was a bad one for my SIL) and the kids keep asking about Alec - its heartbreaking.

Fundraising is going great! We've raised over $14,000 so far, and thats BEFORE we start getting corporate donations.

Thank you!
