The BBS.Divas are now taking names for the dialysis care packages. The only requirement is that the person live in Montgomery County NC. We will only be giving out 20. The care packages will consist of a duffle bag or backpack small blanket and pillow. This is so they can be comfortable while receiving treatment. It may not seem like a lot to us but just ask someone who is on dialysis how important it is. They carry these bags to every treatment. If you would like to be a sponsor to someone that is on the list for "Pump 4 Life" inbox me. It is real simple, all u do is buy the supplies and we deliver them or we can all deliver them together.We are accepting donations too. SORRY NO CHECKS, NO CHECKS. Everybody is welcome to join in and help. It would be nice if we could do more than 20. I'll let God work on dat part...#BBS.Diva's keeping the community positive...
The BBS.Divas wanted to do a project in the memory of our beloved father, Joseph Marshall, whom passed away May 8th, 2006 from a massive heart attack due to kidney failure and high cholesterol. We decided that this project shall be called “Pump 4 Life”. This project is designed to make people aware of kidney disease by providing information on DaVita services and kidney disease. It is also to raise donations for care packages for our local Montgomery County DaVita facility patients; whom may need more supplies as they take their treatments. The money that will be raised will be spent buying small pillows, small blankets, backpacks/ duffle bags, books, snacks, cds, and mp3 players or better yet donate any of the items in the list. The name “Pump 4 Life” came from the actual dialysis process. For about four hours, three days a week, a hemodialysis patient sits next to a dialysis machine. In hemodialysis, blood is removed from the body and filtered through a man-made membrane called a dialyzer, or artificial kidney, and then the filtered blood is returned to the body. Stay tuned for more info on this event. #BBS.Divas on da move for spring!!!!! RIP Daddy Joe
