Hi Guys,
A few weeks ago I ran into an old friend at the Ronald McDonald house in Salt Lake City. He used to be a neighbor of mine who has since moved to Idaho. Long story, but his 6 year old daughter Sadie, started showing signs of jaundice and was taken to the hospital. The hospital recommended that they immediately to to Primary Children's in Salt Lake. That was about a month ago. During that time Sadie has received a liver transplant and 7 other surgeries relating to her illness. All of this caused by a simple virus that moved into her liver. She is finally being released from the hospital this week, but will be required to visit 3-4 times a week for testing and monitoring. This will go on for 6 months, which will separate their family during that time. Sadie's ongoing medical care, including prescriptions will cost their family 2-4k a MONTH!! Yes, that is after insurance. I've been trying to raise any kind of money I can to help them and wanted to post anywhere and everywhere I can think of. Her mother is keeping a blog of her story found at loveforsadie.blogspot.com. If any of you would like to donate to her care, there is a link on the right hand side of her blog. I am personally managing the donations and getting the money to her family. In a little over 24 hours, I have seen over 500 dollars come in! In the scheme of things, that's not much but still so awesome! If nothing else, please keep her in your thoughts an prayers. If any of you would like to donate, but are concerned about the legitimacy of the story, please send me a PM and Ill provide any information you feel to you need to feel comfortable with it. Here is a picture of Sadie:
Thank you in advance for any prayers or donations!
