A boy needing a blood transfusion

A boy needing a blood transfusion

We received this via email from a good friend, and would like to pass the information along:

" http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/aaronczup

Aaron Czup is a 6 year old boy who went in for a relatively simple surgical procedure on July 18.  He has been battling for his life ever since.  He is in desperate need of a blood transfusion.  Without it, the only suggestion that his doctors have is to initiate hospice care.  Here is where you may be able to help.  Aaron can only be transfused with Type AB- blood.  (His hematologist has indicated that A-, B- and O- are not options for reasons that I can't begin to comprehend.)  The kicker is that Aaron has an IgA deficiency, which the donor must also have.  If you have AB- blood, you can help by going to a blood donation center to have them check your blood for IgA deficiency.  Do not give blood immediately if you have the deficiency, as the process for getting the blood to Aaron is still being worked out!  I would hate to have you donate and then not be able to get the blood to Aaron for whatever reason.  Instead, contact me ASAP so I can get the information to the family. If you do not have AB- blood with an IgA deficiency, you can still help by telling others about Aaron.  If you are so inclined, you may also donate to the Aaron A. Czup Donation Fund Account at US Bank.  Lastly, but certainly not least, you can pray for Aaron and his family.  Here is the Caring Bridge page that his family uses to post updates.

One last note.  A charity has offered to cover the cost of flying a compatible donor and/or their blood to OH.  This offer extends to any location in the U.S.  I am not sure about international donors.  We'll cross that bridge if and when a donor is located."

City Source: Free kids' concert Sunday; Safety in school zones

City Source A weekly newsletter detailing current city happenings... Aug. 6, 2008   Free kids' concert Sunday   Let the kids hop 'til they drop.   Bring your family, especially those kids who dig dancing, to Sunday's weekly free concert.   Funky Mama will perform from 7-7:30 p.m. at Santa Fe Commons Park, 81st and Santa Fe Drive.   She will be followed by Jim Cosgrove and the Hiccups, who will perform from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.   Funky Mama describes herself as a "rockin' mom" who writes and performs for kids and families.   Jim Cosgrove is also known as Mr. Stinky Feet. He specializes in entertaining children and families.   The weekend forecast is calling for more moderate temperatures.   Bring a lawn chair for mom and dad, a blanket for the kids, and a camera to catch your budding dancing star enjoying a great time with other kids. Safety in school zones   In less than two weeks, schools will reopen, and you can help ensure your child's safety.   New traffic laws require that children up to 4 years old be secured in a federally approved child safety seat; children 4 to 8 years old be secured in a booster seat if they are less than 4 feet, 9 inches tall or weigh less than 80 pounds; children 9 to 17 years old must wear a seatbelt when riding in a car, whether it is in the front or back seat.   Back-to-school safety is paramount for police officers, who will be patrolling school zones in Overland Park to make certain the safety of children is a priority.   Home City Services Finances Neighborhoods New Residents News Parks & Recreation Vision Metcalf Projects/Construction Police & Fire Things to do Traffic/Transportation   Sign up for other newsletters City Source is available through an RSS feed Questions or comments?

One of only two in the Kansas City Area! With modern, state-of-the-art E4D Dentistry, patients don't need to suffer through traditional impressions. They don't need temporaries. And they don't need to wait days-or more likely weeks-for their permanent restorations. That also means that they won't have to be inconvenienced with the back-and-forth typically associated with crowns, veneers, and some types of fillings. Rather, when E4D Dentistry is right for them, patients can be in and out of the dental office with their permanent, natural-looking and metal-free restorations in a single visit. E4D restorations are perfect for situations like chipped, worn or cracked teeth; teeth that are discolored or have gaps and spaces between them; teeth that have decay and/or old, worn fillings. Click here for details! 2008 Change for Charity Recipients Established by the owners of Zona Rosa, the Zona Rosa Community Foundation focuses on providing meaningful support to youth and families in the greater Kansas City area. The Foundation, funded by parking meter proceeds and ticket revenues, offers significant support to area nonprofit organizations through the Change for Charity Meter Program, the Zona Rosa Scholarship Fund and Community Event Sponsorships. While ample free parking is available in our surface lots and garages, when parking at a metered space, you are required to pay. Utilizing the parking meters is ideal for short term parking. Time limit on the parking meter is one hour and cost $.25 per quarter hour ($1 per hour). Failure to pay the meter or staying parked longer than 1 hour will result in a $5 ticket which also benefits the charity. Zona Rosa Community Foundation and its charitable partners thank you for supporting the Change for Charity program.
