Welcome

.
The Caring for Carter Team is working hard to put together a benefit for Carter. All the details of the benefit are currently in the works and we hope to have a date and time set soon!

Who is Carter?

Carter is a 1 year old from Florence, MS. He is the son of Brandon, an elementary educator at Brandon Elementary School, and Meagan, a registered nurse. Carter was born with OEIS complex which consists of multiple abnormalities. During his lifetime, Carter has been hospitalized over 100 days and undergone approximately 30 surgeries. In September 2011, Carter underwent an intestinal surgery and has since become intolerant to his feedings. He now requires intravenous nutrition, which is beginning to damage his liver.

On February 13, 2012, Carter was transferred to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for further treatment. Cincinnati Children's hospital has an outstading reputation for their gastroenterology program. A medical jet from University of Alabama-Birmingham Hospital transported him from Jackson, MS, to Cincinnati, OH.

All proceeds raised from the Caring for Carter Benefit will be used to assist the Clines with their medical bills and travel expenses.

How Can I Help??

First and foremost, PRAY! Carter, his family, and medical teams need your prayers!

Next, we would love for you or your company to help in any way possible to make the benefit as success. We are accepting donated items or services for a raffle on the day of the benefit. All business names will be added to our banners that will be displayed the day of the event. In addition, you will receive a receipt for your donation and businesses can claim their donations as advertisement.

For monetary donations, a charitable account has been establised through Regions bank. You can go by any Regions Bank and deposit into the Caring for Carter account (If you are outside of MS, please indicate to Regions that this is a MS account). If you choose, you can mail a check made payable to Caring for Carter to:

Caring for Carter
c/o Emily Sullivan
622 Randall Circle
Pearl, MS 39208

If you are unable to assist, we ask that you keep Carter, Brandon, and Meagan in your thoughts and prayers as they travel this very difficult road.
