Bristol VA Bush Crafting© is proud to announce our support for
(C.H.D) Congenital Heart Defect Children's Charities Organization
Today Eric Atwell, Owner of Bristol VA Bush Crafting released a statement about how he feels concerning this new partnership.
Eric Atwell: "I feel good about having a partnership with a children's charity organization such as this one. It was never made public but my wife and I suffered the loss of our 3 1/2 month old son in August 2014.
Our son Colin Alexander Atwell was born with a congenital heart defect called (HLHS) Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome). Alex had his first open heart surgury at 6 days old and it was the first of many more surgeries that he would endure. My wife and I stayed in Nashivlle for 3 months and 11 days. Lots of charity organizations helped us while we were 5 almost 6 hours away from our home. We stayed in a "Ronald McDonald House" for about a month and then had to leave and go live in a place called "The Walmart House".
If my wife and I had not received the support that was given to us by these charities while we were there in Nashville it would have been impossible for us to have stayed there that long. It was like a blessing from above to have so many organizations willing to help us."
C.H.D HeartToHeart.Org© is a non profit organization that helps families that have children who are born with a congenital heart defect and are receiving long term medical care in a medical facility.
The funds that are raised through their ongoing C.H.D Awareness Projects go to these families that are in need of financial support while their child receives medical care.
