Hello All!

        We  wanted to give an update on Jude.   We’re so grateful for all your prayers, generosity, and support! Jude has been in the hospital three months now, waiting for his heart, and has had some challenges.  He’s been back in the PICU, intubated, with fluid in his lungs, a bowel obstruction, and requiring a trip to the OR for a new Berlin heart, since he’s outgrown his current one.

         We are still raising funds for COTA – Children’s Organ Transplant Association, in honor of Jude’s Fight.

            We also wanted to let you know that our family will be performing a “Have A Heart” Benefit Concert to raise money for COTA in honor of Jude‘s lifetime of transplant related expenses.   Tom, as many of you know, is a professional musician/songwriter who has traveled around the country performing for years.  He will be joined by son, Daniel, and daughter, Lucy for the live concert.   TJ and Jess will be with us if Jude is stable, and Rene’ will join in a song or two! The concert is Sunday, June 5 at 4 PM at Saint Benedict the Abbot Church, 120 Abington Rd. in McMurray PA. If you’re s anywhere near the area, please consider joining us for an uplifting and inspirational evening of music! The concert is free, however donations will be gratefully accepted. There will also be many awesome gift baskets, delicious candy bars, and T-shirts for purchase.  Spread the word!   Thank you for helping Jude in the fight for his life.  We are so grateful.
