Welcome

I created this page so that the people who love and care about Jack can stay up-to-date on the latest and offer encouragement and support, and as a way to raise money to cover the growing medical bills and any items Jack needs.  If you prefer Facebook, you can also follow the latest at https://www.facebook.com/SendLegosOreosandChocolateMilk (or click the Like image).

How did I come up with the name of this page?  First, it’s not a solicitation for people to send Legos, Oreos and chocolate milk.  Sometime ago I saw a picture of a child’s hospital room window.  Someone had made a sign that read “Send Pizza.”  While I realize this child was likely sicker than my son, I like to think that in a moment of searching for levity to the situation, someone thought it would be funny/cute to put the sign in the window.  As I was in the hospital with my son in August I thought about what a sign in Jack’s window might say. 

**This is my disclaimer – I am not trying to garner sympathy or make Jack seem sicker than he is.  I certainly know there are much sicker kids out there and I am very grateful that the two current conditions we are dealing with are manageable thus far.  I am also well aware that given Jack’s beginning he could be much worse off medically.  However with changes in healthcare coverage and the rising cost of medical services, bills are quickly mounting.  I am simply doing what I can to raise money to cover these costs.

If you see something here that you would like to purchase, please keep in mind that this is not an online garage sale.  I am not going to haggle with you over the current pricing.  I am sorry if that sounds harsh, but I need to be very clear here.  Please remember that the money raised in the selling of these items goes to help my son.  I am well aware that you can probably go to your local thrift store, Good Will or resale shop and find something you like for a lower cost.  My hope is that you will see something you like, or would like to give as a gift and will purchase it knowing you are also helping a well deserving little boy.

So, what’s going on with Jack?  Right now we are dealing with two major issues with his health.  First he has hip dysplasia.  The second issue is a condition he has where his throat starts to swell shut and he cannot breathe.
