Mommy and Daddy were invited to a volunteer recognition event last Tuesday for the NKF. NKF board members and staff introduced the volunteers. It was a lot of fun. Mommy and Daddy had a good time talking to the people who have helped share our mission.
The highlight of the night was meeting Jackson and his family. 19 month old Jackson toddled his way through the crowd, charming everyone he met. His family volunteers in many ways to raise funds for the NKF. Big sister Brooklyn made the announcement that Jackson found a match for his transplant earlier that day. If all goes well, the surgery will be in mid-July!
As Mommy and Daddy headed for the door, Jackson and Brooklyn's mom asked Mommy for her autograph! They received a copy of Rudy Gets A Transplant that day! Mommy was honored. It is so much fun meeting the children and families that read our books. The mom was flustered because she didn't have a pen or piece of paper. Daddy is so smart, he quickly ran outside to get a couple of books.
Recently we have corresponded with moms from Wisconsin and Chicago. Both were looking for ways to explain kidney disease and transplants to their children. One mom had kidney disease, the others child had it. I'm so glad we can help.
Love,
Rudy the Proud as Could Be Poodle
P.S. Here's a little slide show.
