"Hey guys,
As you probably already know, Albin's youngest daughter, Katie, is
in the hospital with a tumor in her brain stem. I personally cannot
even fathom what Al and his family are going through right now, but
this is something truly tragic.
Katie is a 6 year old child, and a hospital can be a very, VERY
scary thing at that age. I know, having spent alot of my childhood
years in the hospital for operations to improve my hearing.
Granted, my complications were minor as compared to Katie's.
The only way to make that hospital room a little less scary is to
FILL it with things Katie likes. Toys. Now, we obviously do not
know what kind of toys Katie likes, and finding out, going out and
getting them, and shipping them would take too much time. So our
first idea was to get Katie a gift certificate to TRU to get her
anything her little heart desires.
While we still plan on doing that, we're also going to be attempting
to raise money for gift certificates to resturaunts as well as
supermarkets.
Originally, the NEG, ECG, NER, OLG, Carida and Tyranus were all
together on this. We are now asking the rest of the Legion to help
us help Albin, Kathy, Katie, and Allie in their time of need! If
you can contribute, whether it be a large or small amount, please do
so.
Rain, of Garrison Tryanus has been kind enough to set up an
email account to receive donations at Paypal.
THE CUTOFF FOR DONATIONS IS SUNDAY NIGHT!
Please paypal your donation to rainmontes@hotmail.com
If Yahoo garbles that up it's rainmontes @ hotmail.com (no spaces)
The mailing address for checks or money orders is:
Rain Montes
5525 Neddleton Ave
Woodbridge, VA 22193
Please let the folks know who are sending checks and money orders to
get them out ASAP. If two-day mail is an option, then it's
suggested as well.
***IMPORTANT*** Please include a few words of encouragement for
Albin and his family. If you're sending money via Paypal, just
write something in the "Comments" area. If you're sending a
donation via mail, then just jot something down on a piece of
paper. I'm hoping we can include these in with the gift
certificate. Any bit of encouragement will help at this point.
Please, if you can donate to this cause, then defnintely do so. If
it weren't for Albin, none of us would be here today, as part of the
501st, and more importantly, as friends and even family! We are the
501st Legion, and we take care of our own!
No matter what the amount, even if it's 5 dollars, it will help in a
BIG way to bring a smile to young Katie's face, as well as the rest
of her family.
LETS MAKE SURE KATIE HAS A REASON TO SMILE!
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at MerlynNY@aol.com
Thank you all so much!
