Documenting the steps I'm taking in applying for the Peace Corps and hopefully be invited to the Peace Corps! The contents of this website are mine personally and do not reflect any position of the U.S. government or the Peace Corps.

Send Some Love

A child from my hometown in Indiana has a condition with his brain called AVM, his parents have set him up a Caring Bridge website, and described his condition here:
Since he has been at Riley, they determined that the cause of the bleeding is a congential (at birth) brain problem called an AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation). Basically, the bloodvessels are in a tangle in a certain area of the brain and the built up pressure finally caused them to bleed.
He is currently in Phoenix to receive his second brain surgery....second brain surgery and he is just a 6th grader! 

What you can do is go to Andrew's website and help the parents reach their goal of sending messages to him through the guestbook & send optional donations. Also, if you have a blog, twitter, facebook, or even e-mail your friends/family.....you could give this link and information to spread the word through networking to help his parents achieve their goal & bring Andrew a little cheer through the messages.
