About me: Please watch this video to learn about Hailey Kent and her family...
The purpose of Hope for Hailey is to:
~ Spread awareness about Donating Blood and Bone Marrow to those that need it. The truth of the matter is, there is a major shortage of blood and bone marrow/stem cells and many, many people out there waiting to receive either of these to save their lives. If you are reading this and you are a parent please think about how you would feel if this was your child. Think how you would feel if this was your brother, sister, parent or friend. Imagine if it were you. Hailey has already endured more than most of us ever will in our life time. It only takes a second to repost this... for Hailey's sake, please do.
~ Its also to spread the word about Hailey Kent and her family and a special project we are currently working on for them. We'd like to get Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to come and build the Kents a new house.The Kents are currently renting their home and while it is by no means in shambles, they do need something better - especially for Hailey. This is where Hailey spends 24/7 of her time and it could potentially be a life or death situation for her. The stem cell transplant that Hailey received last spring has left her immune system very weak and virtually non-existent, so she is extremely susceptible to germs, viruses, and bacteria... all of these things live in our houses and has virtually no effect on us. But with Hailey, one little cold could kill her. One of the ways to help protect Hailey from these potentially lethal things is to guard her surroundings. Although the Kents have done the best with what they have, their house can probably never can be 100% suitable for Hailey. It is an older home, and therefore already contains germs and whatnot... no matter how often its cleaned. They are desperately in need of a HEPA filter that could filter out all of the "bad" air through out their entire house. Right now they only have a few very small filters in the rooms Hailey spends the most time in. Unfortunately, because they rent their home, even if they did have the money for a HEPA filter, they have been told that installing one would not be possible because it would be a permanent change to the house.
We believe that if enough people get together to help this very deserving family we can make their dreams come true and provide them with a home that will be a much safer and healthier living environment for Hailey and her family. We are contacting Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in the hopes that they'll help, but can't do it without all of YOU.
So please write in, email, or contact Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and let them know that this very deserving family needs their help. REPOST IT on Myspace or any other Forums or Message Boards that you go to. EMAIL it and just pass it on to EVERYONE you know.
Help us get Extreme Makeover:Home Edition to build the Kents a new house!!
