Don't know about Fund raising...but here is something that might be helpful to you...
IHH,
I don’t know if you have ever heard of Angel Flight before? They are a charitable organization that helps transport people with a financial and medical need to the places that they need to go to, to get the medical treatments that they need to have. I have a friend that was able to use Angel Flight to get from her state to another inorder to have TOS surgery and treatment...so I know that they don't just provide this help for "life threatening illnesses". Here is their web addy:
http://www.angelflight.com/
There are also...what is the word? Branches?? Hmmm...that will have to do for right now. There are also branches of Angel Flight that deal with different parts of the country. I think that this can all be coordinated through that first site, but just incase, and to give you more options to look at, I tracked down the 2 branches (...I know that there is a better word to use there....) that cover the areas of the country that you are dealing with. Here are the addys for those two sites too:
http://www.angelflightne.org/ This covers the North East part of the country, which includes New Jeresy,
http://www.angelflightsc.org/ And this one covers the South Central part of the country, which includes Arkansas.
Like I said, I didn’t know if you were aware of this group/organization and the work that they do to help people get to the medical treatments that they need. If not, then I thought that it might be something that could help you with the cost of your trip. I don’t know what their qualification guidelines are....but I figured that it never hurts to check things like this out...right?
Anyway...I hope that this is of some help to you. Good luck with your fund raising, and with the qualifying for Dr Harbut’s treatments.
Jose
