August Already?
Thank you very much for all of the kind words and prayers as we observed the 16th anniversary of my son’s passing on July 14th. While 16 years sounds long, and is in some ways, it also feels we were in the hospital with Andrew just last year. I miss my son and friend so much! And, I’m sure the families featured below love their child a lot as well.

B+ Hero Eli
Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of Eli, but please read his Mom’s note to you.
Thank you for helping my family. I would like to tell you a little about Eli so you can understand the difference you have made in his life.
Eli is a 16 year old student. Academically, he is an honor student with plans of a social work degree. He plans to work as a adolescent navigator in the cancer center at Brenners children's hospital where he is receiving treatment. Eli has played basketball all through school, AAU ball starter, 3 point shooter. Starting high school he started to focus on cars. He spent lots of time in the shop learning everything he could about his car. Eli loves to cook and try new recipes. Eli is a thinker. He is the kid that know about the theorist Neil Degrasse Tyson.
When we talk about Eli, you have to know he loves his family. He is the younger brother of 2 older sisters.
Everybody loves Eli.
Eli health has declined this month. What you have done is allowed this mom to stay at home and care for him. Eli doesn't like to be alone. Eli's cancer has affected his cognitive function and physical mobility.
I just need you to know Eli was going to make a difference in this world.
Thank you for making a difference.
