You are a good hearted man. Anytime I hear of a family who is struggling or going through severly upsetting time,it makes me appreciate what I have,even if it isn't much at times. I had a son and raised him a few yrs. alone. I really feel for this mother and son both. I will pray for Edan and Mom for the next few weeks at least for God to see they get needs met and for Mom to be able to keep on keepin on,etc..
To raise $,how about a neighborhood garage sale? A walk-a-thon? I hope this woman has people who help out,give her a break for some alone time and help with buying Edan toys and what he needs. Sometimes if you have nothing else to give,a hug can mean alot. |

If you have been watching this mother and child struggle for so long why are you just now trying to figure out how to help?
No offense but has this mother actually ask you to raise funds for this child? Has she ask you to tell his personal medical history on the internet? Do you realize if she is getting public assistance your efforts could, if not done properly through a sophisticated structured trust, can actually disrupt his benifits? Maybe make it impossible to get his medications. That if you give her money and it is not handled through a tax exempt non-profit she has to pay taxes on it? IMHO it is all well and good to care about people but public pity and violateing someone's privacy; especially for a pre-adolecent child seems particularly selfish, self grandizing, and attention seeking. |

I didn't hear this gentleman ask for any money. He told of the child's situation as far as the kid having no friends, etc and then asked if anyone had any suggestions. You know, like "Kid needs a puppy and a Twister game" or "Take him to Belgium. They have a new treatment" or "Maybe the Mom should join a Bunko group".
Let's be nice. |

Your opinion is messed up! So when someone wants to take the extra time to help someone who is in need it's suddenly selfish? or attention seeking? Give me a break! This guy just has good intentions. Some of us may not be legal experts on gov't provided aid, but that doesn't mean that we're grandstanding when are trying to help others! Get a clue... you sound about as cynical as anyone I've ever heard on here. |

I don't have any ideas for a fund raiser, but check around
on the internet. There must be some information on this for you. Bless your heart for caring.  I will send out a prayer chain for Edan and his Mother...  {{{{{Edan}}}}} |

Local restaurants like Applebees do pancake breakfasts as fundraisers. It's pretty easy and you don't have to clean up...
Pizza places do "give 10% of sales to charity" nights - you can do that once a month in most cases. |
