Our family would like to express our many thanks to all the people who volunteered their time and worked so hard to make Melody's fundraiser a great evening for everyone. It was very touching to see how the community came together to help our little girl.
Morris (The Brains behind it all) & Anne Stevens, Jean-Eudes Godin & Elaine Levesque-Godin, Anne Marie LaPointe, Sue Roy, Valerie Roy, Nicole Carrier, Tanya Hickey, Ron Bourque, Timmy Stevens, Tray Horton, Jerika Driscoll,Carl Doucet, Sally LaPointe, Sue LaPointe, Walter Gauthier (Master of Ceremony for the evening), High Lead (Thank you so much for everything you have done), St. Gabriel's Parish (for the hall)
We would also like to thank all the wonderful people who performed. So much talent on stage made the evening perfect. Thanks to the public for coming out and supporting our little angel. You made this night a success and for that we are very grateful. Our family is lucky to live within a community that cares so much.
If we have missed someone we do apologize. Please leave a comment or send an e-mail so that we can get the name up on the post ASAP because everyone who volunteered was important to the fundraiser for Melody. Thank you!
The more, the merrier!
Melody is now 15 years old. She is still being followed at the IWK Children's Hospital in Nova Scotia. Melody has been very strong through all this and we are very proud of her. Below is the original write up for Melody's story and the concept for this blog.
Melody is just 6 years old and has recently been diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis; a rare disease that only 1 to 3 children per million a year are diagnosed with. She is currently undergoing a great deal of testing at a children's hospital to determine the extent of the disease and how it will be treated. This disease comes with plenty of pain and limits Melody's ability to do a lot of the things children her age enjoy.
Seeing that this disease cannot be cured, only treated, Melody has a long road ahead of her. Her family would give anything to make this road a little brighter for their special girl. This is where you come in! We all know how exciting it is to get a handwritten letter or card in the mailbox, so we thought it would be fun for Melody to look forward to getting some mail of her own. She has a map of the world on her wall and puts a little sticker on every place she receives a letter from.
If you'd like to send along some sunshine, please send it to the following address:
