Seth's Story
Seth Benjamin Petreikis was born July 21, 2010. He was born with a heart condition that required open heart surgery at 2 1/2 weeks of age. 3 days after surgery he was diagnosed with a rare, fatal disease called complete DiGeorge Syndrome. Only 5-12 children are born with this yearly. With this syndrome Seth has no T cells and cannot fight off any infection or virus. This condition is fatal by age 2.
Seth is in need of a life saving thymus tissue transplant. The only place those are done is at Duke Hospital in North Carolina under Dr. Louise Markert.
This procedure is not covered by our Medicaid. If successful, Seth's outlook is great. By the time he is 3 he will have a normal immune system.
Everyday is a gift from God especially for Seth.
Our mission is to raise the needed funds for Seth's Thymus Transplant. The procedure will cost between $350,000 and $500,000. If the State of Indiana steps in and will pay, or if money is raised exceeding the amount needed, it will go towards the goal of getting this procedure approved so no child will have to go through this again!

In addition to donations I would think contacting Indiana Medicaid would be very productive and worthwhile. Let's give Seth many Merry Christmases to come. Our multi-million earner MLMers should be honored to help.
