OHIP has come through!

I'm thrilled to report that OHIP has agreed to pay for the medical costs related to Nicky's surgery!

Many of you have been asking how you might be able to contribute to the costs - I'm happy to report that is no longer as big a concern for them. That being said, we have set up a trust account for those additional expenses - travel, living in NYC, supporting the family at home and potentially some of the required medications. For those of you who are keen to do something, you can send a cheque made out to 'Nicolas Spano Trust' to me and I will make the deposit at RBC. We did try and arrange for tax receipts but were unsuccessful. For further details I can be contacted at mari.teitelbaum@gmail.com.

In light of the changes, the fundraiser at InFusion has been canceled.

Also a quick update from NYC - I heard today from Kathrin that "...things are looking very good, Nic will be discharged in a few days"

Thanks for all your concern!
Mari.

    Hi mari,

    Great to hear Nicky is doing well!! We live out of the country. Is is possible to deposit money directly into the account? Could you send us the bank account details?

    Thanks

    You can also pick up a blue "give NYC 2 Nic" wrist band for a $2.00 donation at Berry's Pet Food at 151-a Second Ave.

    Nicholas is in my prayers for a full recovery. I'm sure St. Nick is praying along for Nic to receive a great Christmas present of healing.
