A Special Appeal for Mercy

An update on little Mercy - Since time is short we have decided against any crowd funding solutions. After all, as I said at the team dinner "Her name is Mercy and she needs a trip, what else can we do" We are going to fund her trip to Boston for the needed surgery on her Trachea. We are trusting that we will receive sufficient donations to cover the cost.

FROM JULY 29: Today we met a little girl named Mercy who was born with a heart defect, A local foundation raised money to help her get heart surgery in Israel at age 2. Unfortunately she also had tracheal narrowing, so at the time of her surgery she had to have a tracheostomy. She is now five and in need of a tracheal reconstruction since she can barely breath through the small tracheostomy.. A foundation in the states is inviting her to Boston to have a medical evaluation and needed surgery fully paid. A second foundation is providing room and board for her and her father. Unfortunately, the local foundation and the family need to raise airfare and visa fees. The invitations is good for, 3 more weeks. The head of the local foundation heard that we were in town and came to ask us for help. Does anyone have any ideas for fundraising or finding a free/discount airline tickets?
