Dear lovers and supporters of Chris (all of us!!),
It is so heart warming to be a witness to all the positive wishes and support that have been pouring out from everywhere for Chris, myself and my family. I want to thank everyone for the incredible success of the fundraiser and all the wonderfully generous donations. It will fulfill many of Chris' needs and hopefully in time be enough to allow Chris to make the best possible choices that will enable him to lead a strong and healthy life.
I am working on setting up a non-profit foundation for Chris so that all donations will be tax deductible, including the ones from the fundraiser. I intend on using the National Transplant Assistance Fund and Catastrophic Injury Program to help set it up, if anyone has a better suggestion or has been working on it please let me know.

They are also an excellent recourse for raising funds, so if anyone chooses to put together an event for Chris or wants ideas for what to do and how to do it they can easily find them here. The foundation will allow him to use the funds for all his needs that his insurance wont cover.
Thank you again to everyone,
Anna
