Luca's Christmas Wish

Luca’s Christmas wish


With the holidays fast approaching I have started purchasing gifts and thinking about what I will get for that hard to buy for person that we all have on our list.  I have also began to think of what charities I want my family to donate to during the holiday season.  This year, I will be combining my gifts with my donations and making a monetary donation in honor of friends and family to Luca's Bright Light Fund.  Giving to Luca's fund will directly impact Rachel and Jeff, and baby Luca.  Rachel and Jeff are determined to do all they can for their son, and need all of our love and support to continue to fight.

Research for Acrania and Anencephaly is seriously underfunded, and almost every doctor along the way has been quick to dismiss baby Luca and quick to shoot down the idea of trying to save him. Rachel and Jeff have been told Luca would be missing portions of his brain, they pushed for testing and found he is not, and his brain is even split into two hemispheres. They were told he certainly had chromosomal defects that would ensure his death, they pushed for testing and he does not. What else could these doctors and experts be wrong about? Your monetary donation will help Rachel and Jeff explore every option for Luca by going towards medical bills, opening doors to expensive specialists, the possibility of a fetal MRI to look at Luca's brain function, as well as expenses following his birth.

If you would like to join me and give to Luca's Bright Light Fund this holiday season, in honor of a friend or family member, please email lucajosephhill@gmail.com. In the email please include the amount you are donating, the first and last name of the person you are donating in honor of, and the address where a card can be mailed announcing that a generous donation was made by you, in their name, to Luca's Bright Light Fund. You will then receive a PayPal invoice and, once paid, your beautiful card will be mailed to the honoree. You can also visit Gofundme.com/lucajosephhill to place your donation and then email the above information to complete your gift.

Let's help to make Luca's Christmas bright by helping to shine light on Acrania and Anencephaly through a donation to Luca's Bright Light Fund!

Will you join me?
