New Lungs For Chuck Campbell Heading Into Surgery TODAY


Spirits are very high here on the Eastern Shore while our Friend Chuck Campbell lies in a Hospital bed in Fairfax, Virginia awaiting a life saving operation to replace his lungs, THANKS TO YOU!

That's right Folks, because of YOU, Chuck was able to raise more than $1,000,000.00 to have this rare operation to save a Marines life.

It was one year ago yesterday Chuck Campbell was on the Bonnie Hunt Show reaching out to America selling raffle tickets to win a brand new Mercedes Convertible AND a Golf Course Townhouse in Florida.

Because of that show, one viewer contacted Bonnie and committed to paying off whatever they didn't raise to secure the operation. Last night Chuck got the call, they had a set of lungs that matched  him perfectly.

The above picture is Chuck, (this morning) in the Hospital with a Joe Albero Goatee ready to go ahead with today's surgery.

So Folks, your thoughts and prayers are needed as Chuck goes into surgery in a little more than 2 hours from now.

PAYING IT FORWARD HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER!

And here I thought that I lost $50.00 because I did not win the car or the condo. I won SO much more! I won the chance to help someone who needed it because if Chuck won, we ALL won! I don't need a fancy car or a condo. But somehow, just buying that ticket made ME feel like a million dollars because I knew it was the right thing to do. A friend said I was crazy to spend money for something that I would not win. I asked, So you would not spend $50.00, just one time, if it could save a life? That shut her up real fast! Good luck Chuck and my prayers are with you and yours!

May God grant you always..
A sunbeam to warm you
A moonbeam to charm you
A sheltering Angel
so nothing can harm you,
Laughter to cheer you,
Faithful friends near you,
And whenever you pray
Heaven to hear you.

Love from faithful Bonnie Hunt fans!

Chuck and his family are in my prayers. His story truly touched me when I saw it on Bonnie Hunt. My brother had a successful liver transplant last spring so I have an idea of what lies ahead. Good Luck!

I have often wondered about you, Chuck and now we hear you are getting your transplant. May God ride with you all thru this long journey and PTL for the transplant. I will pray for you RIGHT NOW!

Chuck,
You are in God's hands. God will be with you now and forever, just put your trust in HIM. It is so wonderful to have so many people rooting for you.
Bonnie Hunt made it possible to put out your plite, God handled the rest. My prayers will be with you and your loving family, who will need a lot of support during your recovery.
Will follow your progress.
A big virtual hug.

Does anyone care And in the 1880s and 90s, artists settled in
Montmartre where studio and brothel, models and prostitutes were apparently on
a continuum. A fleshlight doesn't care if you have a large bust line and slim shape. Wanting to last longer or like long sessions.
