Here is a copy of an email I sent out explaining our cookbook fundraiser. Dear Friends and Family, As you are aware our daughter, Ashley, will need a liver transplant in the next three years. Since January of this year we have been raising funds through the American Liver Foundation to cover the cost of her liver transplant and associated medical expenses. So far we have raised approximately $20,000 for Ashley’s transplant; our goal is $75,000. We are getting closer to reaching our goal but we still have a long way to go. That’s why we are starting a new fundraiser. The mom’s at the dance studio that Ashley attends have decided to create a cookbook to help raise funds for Ashley. What’s wonderful about this cookbook is that 100% of the sales go directly to Ashley’s Medical/Transplant Fund. However, we need your help. We need recipes and lots of them. The more recipes we receive the better Ashley’s cookbook will be. If you would like to submit a recipe, please follow the instru...
Ashley has biliary atresia, a chronic life threatening liver disease. Her disease has no cure, and her only hope for a long life is a transplant. We are trying to raise money for her liver transplant and other medical needs. Because her disease is unpredictable, her medical needs are unpredictable. It is because of this and the fact that we are unable to get life insurance for Ashley that we ask for donations. If you feel it in your heart to donate to Ashley's fund, we will be grateful.
