Dear Hocus Pocus Friends,
As some of you already know, Luna and Dirk Losander recently had a brand new baby girl, Ione. Unfortunately, her birth came with a grave challenge, and she recently underwent heart surgery, which the Losander's medical insurance is unable to cover.
Monday, June 30 at 10:00 AM, she was admitted to surgery, and she came through it very well. Doctors said her condition has been corrected. They also said the severity of her condition would have been life threatening if the surgery had been delayed. Her condition will be monitored by weekly visits to the doctor for at least the next year.
We are sending a call to the magic community to help the Losanders in their time of need. We know that these are difficult times, but none as difficult as for the Losander family.
PLEASE NOTE THAT 100% OF ALL YOUR DONATIONS FROM THIS AUCTION WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE LOSANDER FAMILY, AND WILL ALSO INCLUDE YOUR NAME, UNLESS YOU WISH TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS.
