 Where Are We With The Need For Fundraisers???

Between Family and Aidan’s Angels we have been successful in raising a few dollars to help Tanya and Mike out with their trips to Seattle, Aidan’s medications & supplements, and general household expenses.  Recently, Tanya and Mike decided not to pursue the Poly-MVA treatments in Scottsdale, Arizona which would have cost $7,800.00 a week on top of everything else.  This decision does not mean that Aidan and his family are now a-okay and no longer require our help.  Other then the fundraising efforts, they have no regular income, but there remains significant expenses which need to be addressed.  Aidan still is taking the very expensive Poly-MVA treatments orally at home, and each bi-weekly trip to Seattle is mandatory in the budget so Aidan can receive his chemo infusions.  Additionally each blood draw at the Kadlec emergency room will not be covered because of the “emergency room” code billed to the insurance company.  So, those of you that have asked the question, “do the kids still need financial help?” the answer is a resounding YES!


Successful Fundraisers This Past Week

  • "Tators for Tators" Baked Potato Feed at Fluor Hanford 200 East Area raised $800.00.
  • The Pub’s “80’s for Aidan” theme raised about $600.00 in cover charges on Wednesday.
  • Email Letter Campaign – Did you send yours out to 5 people this week?  Thanks Lauree.
