Please help save a life

One of the folks who used to come to karaoke with us is facing a terrible crisis. Please do me a favor, take a moment to visit this site and help out in any way you can. Even just a few dollars would help (there are PayPal buttons on the site).

Just when I think things are going rough for me, I see something like this and realize just how much my life is blessed and abundant.

As of April 21, 2008, Bram is 22 months old. On that same day, Alayne found out that the brain tumor he had removed on 04/15 is an Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor. This is a very rare tumor, only diagnosed in about 50 children a year. The survival rate is 50% from the time of diagnosis to 2 years. His year-long treatment will consist of aggressive chemotherapy and possible radiation.

Alayne is a single mother who works as a teacher in a small town. She will have to drive 55 miles each way to the Children’s Hospital that he will be treated in. She does not have a reliable car and the gas prices are outrageous, as you know. She is not getting paid for any time she takes off of work. The real father will not help in any way even though he now knows that Bram has cancer.

So, we need to get Bram and Alayne’s story out to as many people as possible. We hope that this story will touch the right heart and Bram and Alayne can get the help they need to financially make it through this ordeal.
