Our Next Get-a-House Fundraiser

PAMPERED CHEF

Profits from this fundraiser will benefit our "we-have-outgrown-our-tiny-apartment-and need-a-handicap-accessible-home" fund. In case you are reading this blog for the first time, here is our story:

Colby was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1 at four months of age. Although he had a life expectancy of 2 years, Colby just celebrated his 12^th birthday in July. He is trach/vent dependent and g-tube dependent, along with requiring a wheelchair for mobility. Colby requires various braces and supports to help with contractures and assist in positioning. He is nonverbal but currently uses a communication system with eye gaze technology. He is followed by a pulmonologist, neurologist, cardiologist, orthopedist, dietician and physical therapist at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Colby had spinal fusion surgery in June, requiring a 16-day hospital stay. Colby also had a recent respiratory illness and spent 11 days at Cincinnati Children's.

Colby's mom, Amy, is a single parent. She works part time so she can be available for Colby’s hands-on care and appointments.

This fundraiser is designated to assist in the purchase of a house that can be made accessible for Colby.  Profits will be 25% of all purchases. Also for every cooking show booked – an additional $5.00 will be added to the proceeds.
