Dear ones,
THANK YOU. On behalf of Chase and our whole family, thank you for your generous donations to Chase’s 16th birthday fundraiser. He has been monitoring the donations himself since Friday morning and will often come running or calling out across the house “Mom! Did you see? Look at the names! Look at the number! Can you believe it?!” I even got calls from study hall during school on Friday. His heart is so full and that’s because of you.
Just now in the earliest hours of a new week, with over 200 donations, we crossed the 14 mark – $14,071! This is just so extraordinary! And it’s also something that feels even more miraculous and precious in a season when inflation and so many other concerns are still being felt by all of us.
We genuinely can’t wait to see where these donations will go within the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Program at Lurie Children’s. To know that everything you gave will be helping more children like Chase – and more families like ours – means so much to us.
And we look forward to the day when families won’t live through the diagnoses that we’ve lived through, but until that day, we give back…no, YOU GIVE BACK on our behalf… with the greatest of HOPE.
Thank you, thank you so much for all your love for Chase and those like him.
We could not do this without you.
Moment by moment –
THE EWOLDT FAMILY
