No special occasion to mark here in asking for your support of this great organization.  No birthday gift donation.  No seizure free celebration gift.  Avery simply asks you to support this organization because if you know her, then you know that this surgery brought her TO her LIFE.  Before it, she was hidden behind and held down by the continual seizure activity in her head and the many medications she was taking to try and control them with no success.  We all know her amazing smile and her infectious laughter now...and it is thanks in no small part to this surgery.  Hemispherectomy is a surgery no parent should ever have to make a choice to put their child through...yet several parents in the US alone make that very choice each month. It is a hard choice, but often the only choice for a chance at a more quality-filled life.  At The Hemispherectomy Foundation (www.hemifoundation.org), all your donations (yes, 100% of them) go to fulfill the missions of the organization, all of which support the children undergoing this surgery and their families.  That support may come as Hemi Hug gifts, financial support to a family, scholarship for school or tuition for camp, or even research into the conditions leading to such a drastic surgery.  No matter "how" it comes to a family, you can feel proud as a financial supportor of this organization knowing that 100% of your money is put to use for these children and knowing that you are supporting Avery in yet one more loving way.  And the bonus to this it that your donation is TAX DEDUCTIBLE as this is a 501(c)(3) organization!!!!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support Avery's fundraising efforts.

Avery thanks you for your support -- and says "Don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!  Kids like me are deserving of this organization and it's missions...so please tell everyone you know about us."

Thank you for visiting Avery's fundraising page!  Please visit again when you have a little extra "change" to give :)
