Chris McCabe promises to donate $100 to ACCFCB in support of seriously ill children at your Real Estate closing as your agent whether you are buying or selling. Just mention our organization to him and he will be more than pleased to make this contribution.
Thank You Chris for this more than generous offer and for all of your previous support!
ACCFCB introduces the parents of Aiden Torres who's newborn infant remains in Albany Medical Center Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (AMCH NICU) since his birth on Thanksgiving 2009. Aiden is struggling with a condition called Gastroschesis- intestines born outside of his body.
Aiden's intestines were placed back inside his body with complications and several surgeries. His family and medical staff @ AMCH continue to pray that Aiden has a bowel movement before he can breast feed instead of receiving his current intravenous feedings- Please check back for updates on his condition. We will share photos of this beautiful baby boy when we receive them from mom and dad shortly.
ACCFCB met with Aiden's family at the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) on South Lake Avenue in Albany, NY on December 23, 2009 to give them the financial support needed so they can concentrate on getting their child well. ACCFCB also made a $1,000 donation to (RMH) in appreciation to them for also assisting Aiden's family with housing so they can remain near their son. We were given a tour of (RMH) by mom & dad and they spoke very highly of the accommodations and the hospitality there. Mom & dad said thank you to ACCFCB for our much needed support during their very difficult time.

Tyler's family is fighting along side of him with the hope that "maybe someone will learn a successful treatment for Tyler's disease through this (Caring Bridge) journal and pass it on to us ... what a blessing that would be!"- Don DeMarco (Tyler's dad)
ACCFCB asks that you share his CaringBridge site with others with the hope that we can make a difference for them. As we count our own blessings this holiday season, please say a little prayer for Tyler and his family- Thank You. Sincerely, John Smith

Here is an excerpt from dad on Tyler's Dec 12, 2009 CaringBridge site:
"Many times Tyler, in our estimation, is doing great! This is when we feel relieved of anxiety; our life even seems normal … a sacred and appreciated event we no longer take for granted! What does this mean? It means getting through the day without the sickening feeling that tightly lingers somewhere between abdomen and chest. It means the mind does not drift in hundreds of directions all at once never actually reaching a conclusive thought. It means not wanting to hide within the confinement of home with the phones turned off. It means completing a task instead of leaving it unfinished without care. It means the persistent pain behind the eyes shooting from temple to temple has disappeared. It means exploding in frustration is less likely to happen. It means a meal might actually be enjoyed. It means a lot of things … what a blessed feeling to feel like this, normal, just normal; like it used to be."- Don DeMarco
