CPK Rescuers is SO grateful for all of the support we've received! Without this support, CPK Rescuers would not be able to match up special people with magical CPKs.
One wonderful family received 2 CPKs from us: Ricky and Savannah. Ricky was sent to AJ (Kevin's nickname) and Savannah was sent to his mom, Ann. AJ spent the last 2 years at Boston Children's Hospital, and Ann never left his side. After contracting the Swine Flu, AJ was given some medication that was supposed to help him heal quicker. Instead, it debilitated him. After 3 strokes, he couldn't walk, talk or swallow. Ann lived in the hospital room with AJ, and gave up her entire life for him. This was especially hard, because she had to maintain a home for her family over an hour away from the hospital, too.
On Friday night, November 11th, AJ passed away at the hospital. Ann must now learn to live again, without her best friend. We at CPK Rescuers feel SO blessed to have been able to donate CPKs to Ann and AJ....and now that they will provide a different kind of comfort now, for Ann. She is an AMAZING woman and mother, who sacrificed everything for AJ.
CPK Rescuers has decided to change the raffle we have going on now. Instead of your donations helping us to pay for shipping costs, CPKs and accessories for them, 100% of your donation will go to Ann. Staying by AJ's side for 2 years meant that Ann's full time job was being a mother...and sacrificing income. She now has costs that no mother should ever have to face, and we are humbly asking for donations to help her out. Your name will be entered into the raffle, just like it would have before. If you don't want to be entered into the raffle to win the prize package, but would just like to donate, please do so!
