Day 238: Aid for Aidan

Today’s give goes to a cool little dude who is battling Leukemia. A recommendation came from Brenda R. on the Living Philanthropic Facebook page, so I thought I would check it out and I found an awesome kid with a knack for drawing monsters. His aunt began selling the drawings on etsy to help the family pay for the medical bills and loss of wage expenses incurred since September 2010, when Aidan was diagnosed. So, today’s give goes to Aid for Aidan, I look forward to hanging up your gnarly ‘Wolf Man No. 2’ drawing in my office.

Aidan is no ordinary 5 year old boy, in fact he is quite extraordinary. What sets him apart from most kids is his love for all things scary. He loves monsters, clowns, drawing, and dressing up. He does not wait for Halloween to roll around to have an excuse to wear a costume. And you better believe while in costume he will break character for nothing.

Another thing that makes Aidan different than most children is that on September 13, 2010 he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He was strong and pulled through his first round of chemo all while teasing his nurses and vistors. Although this was a small victory Aidan, unfortunately, must go through 2 to 3 more years of chemo treatments and everything that goes along with that.

Amount Donated: $5 (plus bought this cool Monster drawing for $12!)
