Support Tim with a generous donation

As the surgeries and a lifetime of post-operative care loom on the horizon, Tim will incur significant expense that will not be covered by health insurance. Co-pays, deductibles, and incidental expenses are a part of this, but looking forward, the medications he will be taking for life currently cost about $1000 per month and will only be covered for 3.5 years. The consultants at Duke suggested that Tim establish a 501c3 to help meet the burden of these significant expenses.

Through the graciousness of the church I pastor, I have been allowed to establish such a fund to support Tim’s medical needs, using our 501c3 status to allow for deductible contributions. I have established a separate bank account and am now in a position to ask you to offer your support for Tim through a tax-deductible contribution.

If you would like to make a contribution to the “Waugh Fund of First Church”, sponsored by First Congregational United Church of Christ in Wellington, Ohio, please send a check to the Waugh Fund of First Church, PO Box 232, Wellington, Ohio 44090. Unless you request otherwise, your canceled check and bank records will be your receipt. I will compile a list of the donors and be sure that Tim is aware of your generosity. He won’t be able to thank you all personally, but know that the outpouring of concern that has already taken place on his behalf is overwhelming to him.

Most importantly, keep Tim and Ann, his life-saving kidney donor, in your thoughts and prayers over the next couple of months as this process unfolds.

Please e-mail me directly at bdburke52@aol.com if there are any specific questions I can answer. If you have any questions about the authenticity of this request, know that Tim gave me the "keys" to post to his blog.

Thank you in advance for showing your appreciation of what Tim means to you through your generous contribution.
