We here at Daffe Designs will be hosting an online auction to benefit a local family whose little boy is currently fighting for his life.Silas is an 18 month old baby boy who is fighting for his life at the Children’s Hospital for the King’s Daughters in Norfolk, VA. He was admitted on February 15, 2011 and is in critical condition. The doctors believe he has a condition known as Hemophagocytic Lymphohistipcytosis (HLH), which is a rare life-threatening disease. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments and will ultimately result in needing a bone marrow transplant. The Cameron family has already sustained a very difficult tragedy as they lost their 15 month old son, Carter, to this same condition, 3 years ago. So you can see why we are rallying with them to help ease this burden as much as possible.
There are several reasons why we are asking for your help. First is for finances to help cover costs that their insurance does not cover. Secondly, the father, who is the only one who works outside the home is paid hourly and so time at the hospital means time not getting paid. We would like for him to be free to spend time at the hospital without concern of the financial implications.To help support the family and ease their burden we are looking for sponsors to donate an item for our up coming auction. This can be a product or a gift card in any denomination that you choose. If you do not have something to offer for the auction but would like to donate please let us know! 100% of all money raised from the auction will be donated to the Cameron family. If you would like to participate please let me know no later than March 25th what you would like to donate and it's retail value. We would like to have everything organized and ready to start the auction No later than April 1st. We greatly appreciate your support and hope you will participate! If you have any questions please let me know! My email is daffedesigns@gmail.com
Is there anything that can be donated to the family (goods, not money) that would help?
ReplyDeleteStephanie, are you thinking of something in particular? Off the top of my head: cleaning service & groceries. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteI will make a custom little girl's Easter dress. I can post a picture of what it would look like and I can make it in sizes T1-T4. This is wonderful for you to do Crystal. Let me know if I can help in any way.
