A family in desperate need

I want to introduce to you my little friend Katie, and her mom, Laurie. Katie is a a dear sweet little girl with Chiari Malformation. Katie has had 2 surgeries for her Chiari. Her first surgery was done by a Neurosurgeon and was "botched". Her mom found me via the Internet and I lead her to our NS who did a second surgery and cleaned up the mess from before. We met face to face for the first time while Katie was in the hospital recovering from her 2ND surgery. Katie is doing well at this point, but her mom is struggling big time. Please take a moment to read this article ~ Katie Lanala

Since this article has been published her mother filed divorce from her father. Katie also has a 2 yr old little brother. This family is struggling big time. They live in an apartment now which she can barley afford, they have very little income coming into the home, and they are in need of many items.
Here is a list of items they need:

- cleaning supplies
- pull ups, nuks, 2 yr old supplies....
- shampoo, conditioner, shower stuff...
- laundry detergent, fabric sheets,....
- Gas cards to get back and forth to Madison for Katie's appointments
- grocery store gift cards........
- jammies, socks, and undies for the kids...

if you have a place in your heart for this family like I do, please donate. Every single penny will help this family survive day to day life.
I have started a pay pal account for Laurie and the kiddos. Please see the upper left hand corner of my blog.

I will post every now and then on the status of this family and Katie's recovery.

Thank you so much.
