Lets support this cause!!
Hello all!
I am coming to you at a time of serious need within our community. Some of you may know about this young lady and for those of you who do not, let me take this opportunity to speak with you about her. 12 year old Abigail, who is a student at Queensbury Central School, went to the nurse one day a couple weeks ago complaining of a bad headache. Within minutes she had passed out in the nurses’ office and was rushed to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm and lays in critical condition with a prognosis which is not very positive. I was approached by a good friend of Abbey’s father to ask for help to offset some of the families’ costs to travel back and forth to Albany Med as well as costs associated with being at the hospital each day. The person who approached me did so because of how impressed she was with what we accomplished with the Rally 4 Codey and knew that we could put this together and make it a positive day for the family of this young lady.
I met Abbey’s father this afternoon and a lump has been in my throat ever since because his daughter is just a mere 2 weeks younger than my daughter, Allison. It was all I could do to hold back my tears as we talked about what he and his family is going through and the helplessness that they feel being able to do nothing but be there each day and hope for guidance to get them through each day. I could tell how hard it took Abbey’s father, Joe, to talk to me and open up about his daughter and I thanked him for that. I also told him that we have some very remarkable people in this community who pull together in times like this and try to bring some piece of hope to the family whose loved one is sick.
I would like you all to take time and think about if you would like to be a part of the Rally 4 Abbey which will take place on Sunday May 3rd which coincidentally will be Abbey’s 13th birthday. We want to have hot air balloons, food, fun, etc involved and I know that you will help me to make this an incredible day. We are working on a flyer that will be sent to each of you via email which will give more details about this event. If you have any ideas or know of how you wish to help please contact me via email.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this most worthy event.
