Hi Everyone,
As one of the trustees of the Chris Barnes Medical Fund, I would like to provide the details of how the money collected during 2006 has been spent thus far. Below is a breakdown of how the money was used in order to provide alternative treatments and therapies for Chris. As 2006 comes to an end, some of the remaining funds will be used to prepare the required IRS tax return and pay for costs incurred, but not yet paid, for some of the logistics needed for the oxygen treatments (HBOT) that Chris underwent recently (e.g. nursing home & van).
As next steps, we will be gearing up for another fundraising event in order to raise money for many of the alternative treatment costs projected for 2007 such as hand massage, acupuncture, reiki & cranio sacral therapy, reflexology among others. Stem cell therapy in China is also a potential therapy. Stay tuned for more details and email hopeforchris@yahoo.com if anyone wants to get involved or help!
Thank you once again to all who contributed to our fundraising efforts in 2006. Your kindness and generosity is so very much appreciated.
Regards,
Annemarie
Trustee, Chris Barnes Medical Fund

Chris Barnes Medical Fund - 2006 Disbursements
Comments
Re: Chris Barnes Medical Fund - 2006 Disbursements
I will never be able to thank everyone over and over for their generosity towards Chris’ medical fund. As it is evident by the amounts spent on several of his alternative therapies, devices and diet, etc. it would be very challenging for me to be solely funding this level of expense for Chris on top of keeping all the finances in place with the monthly living expenses and Gabriel and my parents to take care of…. The setting up of the fund gave me such freedom to pursue everything necessary for Chris without worrying where I would get the money from. I am aware of how blessed and fortunate Chris is under the circumstances as he most certainly receives everything possible and available. I so much wish I could thank everyone individually but it is impossible, the number of people who have helped are countless and beyond my individual reach, so I keep saying thanks here hoping I will reach everyone... I am thankful for amazing friends who engaged in organizing the fund raiser last year and everyone I do not even know personally who voluntarily offered so much. With my deepest gratitude, Koo |
