DV's Wendy - updated and a link

Double Venom · #1 (**permalink**) 04-07-2013, 09:28 PM

For those that remember there is a full and dedicated facebook page about Wendy, my Daughter. Randy her brother decided to do this for his sister in order that everyone should know about her treatment, what has happened over the years since she helped with the "Fling" and what is happening now.

We hope to have her in Houston within the next two weeks for specialized treatments!

I only wish I knew how to thank each and everyone of you, "our" Cobra Family" personally and for life...
Thank you,
DV

There are now two ways to donate for my daughter. The state of South Carolina (where the original donation site is set up has given a license to the "Helping Wendy" foundation so that all donations are now legally "Tax Deductible!)

One way to donate is through PayPal of course and the other is through the "Pay if forward" web site. On her FaceBook page, Helping Wendy, you can follow the donations to her goal.

Thank you everybody, as Randy, my son states, you are all amazing!

DV,

For us that do not use Facebook, how can we donate?

Ed,

I just ran into this as a new technology. Not sure if it could help. Take a look

Terry, et. al.,
This is "give it forward" page for those that wish to help, donate, comments, what ever. It was started for those that do not use PayPal. I really know nothing about PayPal but I do know that some people are leery of it!

Terry, or anyone else that would like to donate directly just send me a PM or an e-mail and i will tell you how to donate directly including the State ID # assigned for Wendy's tax deductible donation!

If people could only understand how deep and true, the heartfelt meaning of "Thank You" means?

PS So everyone knows PayPal takes anywhere from 1.7 to 3%. "Give it forward" charges (NOT in addition too!) up top 7%.

CobraEd,
Wow...another point well worth investigating! Right now there are three so called "Pro's" investigating, researching, following up on your post!

If I forget, yell at me sometime down the road and I will tell you what we find!
Another critical point to follow up on!

This is a short video that Wendy's Husband John just made. She is telling everyone thank you and that we are heading out to Houston soon!

It's not the Wendy that you know from our Flings, but that is why we're headed south!

PS Thank you for all the prayers, well wishes and of course the amazing donations! Every dollar does count. If you want to donate this is a link to two of the charity donations set up for Wendy.

If you decide to help/donate and do NOT want to use Facebook or the "pay it forward" link, just let me know and I will send you all the information to donate directly!

To keep everyone updated; as of today the Burzinsky clinic had over 600 pages of Wendy's conditions, tests, MRI's etc. By this afternoon they had accepted her for treatment at their Houston CLinic.

Brother Randy will be leaving his home in S. Carolina & driving to Houston. Sunday/Monday I am driving to Columbus to meet with Wendy and her husband John. Wendy and I will fly into Houston and finally head for the clinic! (John can't make this trip because of his back injury from years ago. (While mowing for the State of Ohio his tractor flipped over pinning him underneath for over 24 hours before a lady finally noticed him in a depression. John has lived with years of pain with two steel pins in his back for a spine.)

Anyway, thank you all once again for your well wishes and your Prayers. There is no way I'll ever be convinced they haven't worked!

A couple of days early but time is of the essence! Hopefully the start of the end, and the beginning of a new start. The Fundraiser for Wendy's treatment is progressing slowly but definitely moving forward! Now we will see how Wendy responds to this not so new, new treatment.

More in a few days!

Wendy had her first meeting at the Burzynski Clinic today and things went really well. We received a lot of information and possible treatment options. We have an appointment with another clinic here in Houston on Friday. Once that consultation has happened, Wendy and John will make a decision as to the correct course of action. Thank all of you again for your support and well wishes. It is greatly appreciated and definitely helps lift spirits. As soon as I know something new, I will be in touch.
