Meet a New B+ Hero
Meet B+ Hero, Lisandro
Lisandro is a 15 yr old boy who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in Dec. 2014 and it has now spread to his lungs. He lives with aunt and uncle, both who are blind. The Social Worker reports that they are both "attentive, diligent caregivers who work hard to support Lisandro". The aunt and uncle make approximately $20,000/yr.
Until recently, Lisandro slept on the family's couch in their living room. The Social Worker was able to obtain a hospital bed for him but he has no bedding for it. All this family asked for was $300 to buy bedding, pillows, and other necessary supplies to make Lisandro more comfortable.
Thank you for enabling us to help Lisandro and his family!

"Growing Older but Not Up"
If you know that line, you know Jimmy Buffett and you should have joined us for the Blue Hen Parrothead Club's 8th Annual Bay Bash in Pennsville, NJ on July 25th. There was a lot of great music, good food & drink, and a lot of people who have "grown older but not up". Thank you, Blue Hen Parrothead Club, Foundry9, and Kohl's for making us your beneficiary.
How can you help The B+ Foundation fight childhood cancer at your company, school, swim club, neighborhood, estate planning, create an event??? Thanks for thinking about this.
