We're Happy When We're Helping


Misty--a dear friend of a dear friend--is Dairrien's mom. If it is possible for you to help, even a little, please do. I can only give $10, but it's all theirs.
I am trying to raise money to help with expenses that will encure for us during My Son Dairriens Surgery...Dairrien is 13 years old. He has gone through 3 surgeries and this will be his 4th... I am a single mom of 3 boys..So being able to leave our home for up to 14 days is going to be tough..The surgery is paid for through our insurance and Shriners Hospital.. But being a single mom,Money is tight,And I will be leaving my 1 child,and animals in the care of my mother.Who has to take unpaid time off work to take care of my home and child. It will take alot of money to be away from my home for up to 14 days..Gas,and food is my biggest concern,as I will not only have myself to worry about but my youngest son who will have to go with me.. I have to raise enough Money to help pay for my one child to be left with my mother,Food and extra money in case he needs anything.. And I need to raise enough money to Get to Shriners,and back..Along with enough Food Money to last up to 14 days..we also need to raise money for a follow up appointment that he will have a few weeks after surgery..and anything he needs to take with him to the hospital,back pillows,new set of lose clothing (sweats) for the ride home.. So all of this adds up to an amount that I just do not have!! Please Check out our website we have set up,to learn more about Dairrien's Condition and why he is having surgery... For The Love of Dairrien

Jami,
I would love to see what her projected amount needed to cover her costs comfortably is... I will see what we can do to help out. Wells Fargo often has accounts set up for this type of fund raising.

Jen- I'll quote Misty from the link (click on the words "For the love of Darirrien" in my post). Personally, I think she's underestimating at only need $350, but then again perhaps Shriner's has a Ronald McDonald house.

And here's Misty:
"I have to raise enough money to help pay for my one child to be left with my mother. Food and extra money in case he needs anything. And I need to raise enough money to get to Shriners, and back. Along with enough food money to last up to 14 days. We also need to raise money for a follow up appointment that he will have a few weeks after surgery.
