Donations For Austin

For all of you who know how expensive medical stuff is we are trying to help raise money for our friends Ben & Courtney's little boy Austin he is awaiting a Kidney transplant this spring sometime. His mom is Donating one of her Kidneys to Austin. Austin last summer contracted a deadly strain of E Coli which cause his Kidneys to shut down. Right now Austin is getting Dialysis 3x a week. The total Medical Expenses are expecting to be around $50,000.00 this will cover the cost of the transplant and help pay for his anti rejection medication after his transplant. If any of you would like to help you can Donate at http://cota.donorpages.com/patientonlinedonations/cotaforaustinj
We are also doing a fund raiser right now selling candles from party lite this fund raiser will end 2/25/11. We are planning a Yard Sell and all funds raised will go to Austin's account for his transplant. If you have any Items you would like to donate for a Yard Sell you can contact me. When we have dates set we will post these dates and if you have any other fund raiser idea's please let me know. Thanks, Tracy Fuhriman
