THANK YOU EVERYONE

I would like to thank Suffolk Life and Amy Basta for the beautiful article they wrote and published for my son Anthony.  And secondly, for giving my husband and I the chance to thank everyone personally.

   Thank you to all my neighbors, friends and all of our new friends we've met through articles and fund raising events.  I have seen an outpouring of love and support, I've seen how many good, caring and generous people are out there. Thank you everyone, for all of your support.  Your donations are making it possible to cover Anthony's medical expenses, which our insurance does not cover, and many other expenses associated with a bone marrow transplant.

   Most important of all, thank you for all of your prayers.  Our prayers have been answered, we have located a completely matched donor through the National Marrow Donor Program, which I am told by Anthony's doctors is pretty rare in an unrelated donor.  Anthony will be admitted to Children's Hospital in Boston on Sept 27 and will receive his new bone marrow.  Thank you to my beautiful, wonderful family, for being there for us every step of the way.  Thank you to all the wonderful doctors and nurses for going above and beyond the call of duty, time and time again, to make sure Anthony gets the best possible care.

   Lastly, I would like to thank one very special person out there, Anthony's donor.  We were unable to meet you for one year after Anthony's transplant.  Without you none of this would be possible.  Thank you on behalf of my entire family for giving Anthony a chance to have a normal, happy, healthy life.

God Bless all of you.
