Addie
by Civitron
Saturday, August 27, 2011 – Elliott continued his collection throughout the year and has decided to donate to our friend Nicole’s daughter Addie. She’s recently been diagnosed with leukemia and has been staying at Hasbro Children’s Hospital for treatment. Their insurance doesn’t cover everything so to make up the difference they’ve set up a donation site. Please visit https://www.wepay.com/donate/15744 and help our friends make it through these challenging times. Thanks!
On July 26, Addie started feeling a bit ill and showed two bruises that were much larger than they should have been. Nicole brought her to the pediatrician, who recommended blood tests at Newport Hospital. 5 hours later, Addie was transferred to Hasbro Children’s hospital in Providence, and all three of us have been staying here since then. Addie’s chemotherapy treatment is going well, and we have every reason to expect her to be completely cured at the end of this course of treatment, which lasts almost 3 years. Nicole and I deeply appreciate all the support and encouragement we’ve received, and any contribution will help to make up the difference of our insurance coverage. It is difficult for me to ask for help, but because of that I appreciate it that much more. Thank you very much
- Ben and Nicole Swanson
