In Memory of Connor

PLEASE CONSIDER A CONTRIBUTION IN CONNOR'S NAME!!
Let's lift Alaina up and honor Connor by sharing his name with all the guests of The Brooke Healey Foundation Casino Night, an organization that Alaina has supported for years, next Friday night (March 8th)! 

I am hoping to have Connor's memory be listed as a 'Dessert Sponsor' at the Brooke Healey Foundation Casino Night . His name would be recognized at dessert . And, Alaina and her guest would receive two tickets to the event as part of the sponsorship. I would love for her to attend this event again as she always has in the past, while seeing Connor recognized at an event that has been important to her. 

All proceeds raised will be given directly to The Brooke Healey Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization . 

If you are free next Friday, March 8th, please consider attending, as well. It is a fun event for a great cause.

Thank you for your consideration in donating.

I would love to see Connor's name at the event. And, I spoke with Alaina before creating this GoFundMe to make sure it is something she would like, too. She was very happy about the idea. 

LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!

More information about Connor, Alaina and His passing (written by Connor's Godmother, Nicole Colline) are listed below:
On Tuesday, 6/26/18, God called our beloved boy Connor home. In Connor's 10 short years on this earth, he touched more lives than most of us will in the 7 or 8 decades we are given. 

Connor suffered a ruptured AVM (brain) three weeks ago. In true Connor form, he miraculously was recovering from what most people die from. His mother, Alaina, used her fast-acting mom and nurse skills to contribute to the early interventions that gave him a fighting chance. Unfortunately, Connor developed a fast-acting pneumonia while hospitalized which spread to his bloodstream (sepsis).   Connor was re-intubated and once again fighting for his life. The NJ hospital recognized the critical nature of this illness and accepted they could no longer care for a child this ill. Connor was helicoptered to CHOP where they did everything they could to save his life. Due to lack of oxygen from multisystem organ failure (to make a long story short), Connor's brain suffered. 

Alaina and Dan made the hardest decision of their lives which was to end Connor's suffering and chose to save the lives of other children by donating Connor's organs. Heroes....an understatement. All of them. 

As my best friend and hero-mom is preparing to bury her only son, this go-fund-me has been established to help her with Connor's medical bills (3 weeks in the ICU at various hospitals not to mention a helicopter transfer), help with funeral costs (which no mother should have to endure), and help get her and her daughter, Brianna, back on their feet after enduring every mother's worst nightmare. Alaina, a single mother, has been out of work this whole time, and quite frankly deserves time with her daughter to heal and find a "new normal" once life calms down. 

Any help you can give is much appreciated. Trust me when I tell you, kindness is contagious and Alaina will surely give your kindness back to the word once her life calms down. 

My Baby Connor ..... you are our hero. We love you and miss you so much already.
