Happy Birthday August!

Turning three is a big deal. This is the year we want August to eat on his own and get rid of his tube. We are kicking-off our August to Austria fundraiser, mostly on Facebook, but through traditional e-mail as well. I’ve always thought that August would get his tube out at three, then I came across this amazing tube weaning program for kids. It’s at the Graz University Children’s Hospital in Austria. They are ready and excited to meet August and help him eat and eventually wean him off his tube.

Our insurance won’t cover any of the expenses for this treatment. Both of us are unemployed right now, actively seeking work. We are quickly going through our savings, but we don’t want any of that to stop us from helping our Little Man learn how to eat and change his life.

If you all could kick in a little bit–we are hoping for 10000 FRIENDS TO DONATE $25 EACH–to cover the cost of this innovative, intensive and effective therapy. He could be off his tube forever after only four weeks on in-patient treatment. Can you help us out? Do you know someone who might want to help? Please send them a link to this site, or become a fan of August to Austria on Facebook, where you will find photos, a donate button, and an easy way to spread the word.

Thanks!
