Foster is a 6 year old boy fighting a blood disorder
We need your help! On October 18th we are having a Benefit for Foster Askew (a six year old boy fighting a severe blood disorder) Foster had his first round of treatment in August and there is a possibility he could be up for more. Foster’s father, Kirk, died two years ago with Lung Cancer. Kirk is survived by his wife Dawn, Foster, age 6 and twins, Faith and Sterling, age 3. Foster no longer has medical coverage due to the family meeting their maximum insurance allotment. Since then Dawn has been asked to put $6,000 on her credit card for Foster’s first treatment. Between Foster’s condition, Faith's 4 eye surgeries (with two more to come) and Sterling's heart condition, Dawn struggles with overwhelming medical bills to meet the needs of her family. I know we all share in problems of our own, but Dawn can definitely use our help at this time. The fund raiser will help Foster with any other rounds of treatment he might need and hopefully make Dawn’s load a little lighter for days to come.
