The Hope for Trinity Foundation Fundraiser Postponement

March 17, 2012 - PRLog -- It is with great disappointment that we are forced to announce the postponement of the Hope for Trinity Foundation Fundraiser taking place March 17th, 2012- as a result of some unforeseen circumstances and turn of events that is simply out of the our control until further notice. It is NOT due to bad business as some are suggesting. We deeply apologize for all those affected by this decision and we hope that you accept our formal apology. We understand that time, effort, and money has been spent to prepare for the fundraiser and we understand that those are all valuable and we do not discount your efforts. We are making every effort to minimize the ripple effect that may occur due to any inconvenience.

The Hope for Trinity Foundation’s mission is to raise monetary contributions for families who incur financial hardship and medical expenses for their children's medical treatments. In creating the March 17th event, we began to lose sight of our focus and mission leaving us vulnerable to the unforeseen circumstances. We are determined to spread Trinity Farris’ story. If you haven’t read her story, please continue. Trinity was literally fighting for her life every single day. She was diagnosed with Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia Syndrome. Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia Syndrome is a disorder of bone growth characterized by short stature (dwarfism) with other skeletal abnormality that also include abnormal immune system function (immune deficiency), which can lead to recurrent infections. Trinity suffered from congenital immunodeficiency compounded by bone marrow failure/autoimmunity causing hematologic abnormality. Additional diagnoses includes Immune-Mediated Neutropenia, Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, and Bronchiolitis Obliterans, a very rare lung disease. While other children her age were playing sports, going to birthday parties, swimming, or even camping, Trinity was practically closed off to the world. Her daily activities were determined by how high or low her blood count was. Most would have been discouraged, but not Trinity. With such a pure heart, Trinity wanted to give back and help other families in the same predicament. Through her experiences, Trinity felt she could help ease the fears and struggles of other children in her situation.

All who knew 10 year old Trinity Farris agree that she embraced the beauty within. With Trinity’s passing on Dec 3, 2011, The Hope for Trinity Foundation propelled into high gear to fulfill the mission to raise monetary contributions for families. The Hope for Trinity Foundation pledges to carry out Trinity’s vision by helping families in need. We ask for the public’s understanding and patience as we determine how to move forward in the best interest of the people we are looking to assist so as a Foundation we are looking at the long term implications and not the short term gain. We extend our deepest thanks for the outpouring of support and we sincerely hope that we are able to regain your support and confidence once again in the near future. We will be in contact individually with the businesses and individuals who have shown support.

Sincerely,
The Hope for Trinity Foundation
