Let's Help AUSTIN!

My AMAZING sister has worked really hard to put together a fundraiser for her friend's little three year old boy who is in desperate need of a kidney transplant. The fundraiser started today and will end the 27th (Sunday). Check out her blog for more information on her fundraiser and the awesome giveaways you can enter when you donate
(If this picture doesn't make you want to help donate.... I don't know what would----> breaks my heart)

This little man has gone through so much. While away on a family camping trip, Austin came in contact with a terrible bacteria, E. coli, that almost left him for dead.  Though this nasty bacteria tore apart many small blood vessels in his organs (especially kidneys) and attacked his colon to the point where they had to take out 11 inches of the decayed organ.... Tough Austin stayed strong and pulled through it. However, doctors confirmed little Austin's kidneys would never recover. You can get the full story here
He is a huge inspiration to me and I cannot even begin to realize what he or his family has had to go through. This sweet, innocent little three year old deserves to live..... and a good life. Let's all do our part to raise money for Austin to get a very much deserved kidney transplant!! He needs $50,000 before he can do the surgery and he is at almost $10,000. Please, please, please donate!!!
