Matt & Shannon McNeil met at Taylor University (1994-1998) and have been married for 10 years. Unfortunately, within the last nine months they have received the devastating news that not one, but both of their children, Waverly (5) and Oliver (2), suffer from a terminal disease called Sanfilippo or MPS III. Read Shannon's blog.
Meet Waverly & Oliver
A Hundred for a Home is a campaign aiming to gather 4,000 friends who will donate $100 each in order to help the McNeil family with the purchase of a house, necessary home modifications, and out-of-pocket medical expenses.
We want to minimize their financial burden, allowing them to enjoy the short time they have with Waverly and Oliver. (Of course donations less or greater than $100 are greatly appreciated!)
As you can imagine, caring for two children who are slowly dying is an unimaginable, devastating experience. In addition, there are straining financial expenses that insurance will not cover like: co-pays, certain procedures, respite care, formula for tube feedings, hearing aides, wheelchairs, and more.
Major home modifications also need to be made for the children. The McNeil’s home must be completely wheelchair accessible which implies the widening of doorways, installation of a wheelchair-accessible shower, and ramp installations, just to name a few.
Please consider donating today. You can donate online or mail your donation to:
- McNeil Family Fund
- PO Box 147
- Jamestown, MI 49427
Thank you for your generosity and kindness!
