I have been following a little boy’s story on Caringbridge (a website for people who have diseases, cancer, or are hospitalized). This little boy’s name is Joey & he is 6 years old. He LOVEs firemen, fire trucks, etc.
His mother is trying to collect as many child size (or adult) t-shirts (that is her first choice but if they don’t have a t-shirt, anything will do) from as many fire departments in the United States as she can.
He has a condition called Mitochondrial disease (I think that’s how you spell it).
Anyway, he has seizures very often and is often hospitalized. There have been a few instances where they didn’t think he’d make it out, but so far he has. He is often very lethargic, but whenever he gets near firemen Or trucks, he lights up.
He has even been named “Alabaster’s Littlest Firefighter (he’s from Alabama). I am helping her to collect as much as I can from Maryland. I should be getting pamphlets on the disease any day now which I am planning on sending out to fire departments that I cannot get in touch with otherwise.
I am planning on collecting it all and sending it to her whenever I get it. Please let me know if you think you can help with the fire department you (Or your relative) is associated with. If not I can always contact them. I would be so grateful and I know it will make little Joey so happy!!! Thanks!
