Help get a very sick little boy a new kitchen...

This is a message from an acquaintance of mine, please vote if you have the time....

As the following link will explain, my nephew Dan, and his wife Ashley have had a baby (Hartley) that has a very rare disease called Hirschprung's Disease. They've been LIVING at Sick Kids Hospital for the last 9 weeks. Dan is a first year school teacher in Toronto, and ex rep soccer player in Stratford an ex Junior A hockey player. He also has been working with disabled children since high school. As I say, they are a great couple.

When they move home, they will need to build a new STERILE kitchen. Their funds are being depleted based upon some expenses not covered.

Anyway, to make a long story short, they have entered a contest with IKEA for the kitchen, and simply ask for people to vote for them each day. If you have any opportunity to spread this link (ie: facebook etc.) and the story also feel free.

Also, when you cast your vote, feel free to leave them a brief message of support from yourself.

I'll let you know how this works out for them.

The following link provides further details.

Thanks very much to all of you for your help.

You should send this out to newspapers (all columnists as well) and tv newscasts.

Im sure this would make a good story

What does a sterile kitchen have to do with Hirschsprung's Disease?

GI Joe causes Hirschprung's Disease

They are unrelated.

so I'm confused now :\
can't they just clean thoroughly their existing kitchen?


Posted by Silky Johnson on Aug-12-2009 20:58:

Do they not understand that the second they bring ANY food into the kitchen it will no longer be sterile? Are they going treat the kitchen like an OR? Because the notion of a sterile kitchen is sort of dumb.

Aseptic would have been a more appropriate word to use.

Voted. Thanks for sharing this Rachel.

Just take out the word "sterile" from the original post, and it'll make a lot more sense.


Posted by English Rachel on Aug-13-2009 12:51:

Who knows? I just copied and pasted. Does it really hurt to get them a new kitchen though?

I took the word sterile out of the title.

this isn't meant to be mean but the sick child thing will get a lot of votes....they don't need a sterile or new kitchen because their child is sick. They wanted a new kitchen but had to spend money on medical bills and now they can't afford a new kitchen.

well they just moved to a new home in May - so clearly the kitchen IS new
if the disease has nothing to do with kitchen being new/clean, then it's not fair that they're exploiting their son's sickness like that - judging by the pics their kitchen looks pretty damn new as it is

won't be voting again..


Posted by English Rachel on Aug-13-2009 18:16:

It says they need a very clean/sterile kitchen to prepare his specialized formula and intravenous nutrition...

And if you look at all 3 pics, they DO need a new kitchen.

A new house doesn't mean a new kitchen, my new house is 100 years old!


Posted by FunkyCrew on Aug-13-2009 18:30:

sorry Rachel - see Jennie's reply

if they said that they want a free new kitchen just because their renovation money they saved was used for his hospital bills - fine, but they're stressing it's because of his disease they need a new kitchen - not the same thing...

That's exactly it--exploitation. 'Oh, won't you please feel sad for our son's sickness. Life has been so hard over the past couple months. But, hey, nothing a new kitchen can't solve!'

What a bunch of low-lives.


Posted by StereoPrincess on Aug-13-2009 20:14:

lol. what's the big deal. from what i understand. they are a couple that have a kid. their kid got sick. they found out that the kid needs special care. they know their kitchen is inadequate. they plan to renovate their kitchen. they have some money saved up. ooooops. not all the treatment costs are covered. their savings disappear. they don't have money now to fix kitchen so they enter a contest.

no need to always be skeptical nellies and putting people down.

just fucking vote. why does everything with you people have to be difficult.

you don't even need to sign in for fuck sakes.

Very clean =/ sterile, lol. I think this is total bullshit. Sterile kitchen, lol. What an absolute crock of fucking shit. It's almost insulting, really.

lol. quit focusing on one fucking word.

obviously not every damn person has a nursing degree. and has to know the difference. in the regular world, sterile does mean clean.
