I will be doing a benefit show for a child that has inspired me! 

SEPTEMBER 4TH HOUSE OF GUINNESS
This will be a great show with "PADDYGRASS", the band on my new CD

Here is Namine's story as told by her father:

Namine Olivia Eiche was born on July 15, 2008 with a double-inlet left ventricle heart defect; Pierre Robin syndrome, a condition that resulted in a regressed jaw and a partial cleft palate; caudal regression, also known as sacral agenesis, which damages the growth of the tailbone and legs, also giving her club feet; and scoliosis.

As of April 2010, Namine has undergone 7 surgeries: 2 heart surgeries (the first, 2 weeks after birth; the second, January 2008), a diaphragm plication, a tracheostomy tube placement, a gastrointestinal tube placement, and installation and removal of jaw distractors to extend her regressed lower jaw.

Namine has 4 more surgeries in the future: cleft palate repair, which is scheduled for June 3; club foot repair, which will hopefully occur sometime later this year; decanulation (tracheostomy tube removal, perhaps in 2011, and the third heart surgery, the Fontan, which her cardiologist believes will happen by 2012 at the latest. At some point, once Namine can eat solid food better, she will also be able to have her g-tube removed.

The fund her parents started to pay for these surgeries is running low. That's where we can help. I am looking for spot prizes for a raffle, any donations that you think would be suitable as a prize would be greatly appreciated...
