Dunny Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 BSBH members, guests and all Ranger fans: As featured on Hockey Central @ Noon today (which likely only Phil listens to) friends of mine are going through a heart wrenching episode with their infant daughter. I'll post the background story here: http://www.thepost.on.ca/2014/06/02/hanover-toddler-needs-heart-transplant-fundraiser-for-hopkins-family-june-19 The father is a good friend of mine, as I mentioned in another thread he was my captain in minor hockey and the kind of guy you'd follow over a cliff. I'm stuck in Alberta whilst all the fundraising events are going on at home so I thought I could help them out in another way. I know everyone has their own problems and such but I also know there are parents here, and those who want to be parents (lookin at you Peter) and I think they will understand what gut wrenching episode this has to be for the Hopkins family. I'm in awe at the dignity they've carried themselves with as I would imagine I would either be curled up in the fetal position or pointing fingers at doctors. What the news story or Hockey Central doesn't tell you is that Lilah suffered a stroke this morning due to the "Berlin Heart" they gave her and now her situation has become that much more complicated. I've set up a GoFundMe acct with the thought that BSBH as a group could formulate a small donation to help the Hopkins in their time of need. To make a donation, click here: http://www.gofundme.com/agzqig The Hopkins are a hockey family (Eric's uncle Dean played for the Kings ironically) and as such Eric has donated countless hours coaching minor hockey and junior. WE are a hockey family here at BSBH.co and my hope is that as a hockey family we might be able to scrape a few cents together to help another. Thanks for your time Dunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Phil, can you make that link work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 No, sir. That looks like code to embed an object/video. Is there a direct page that links to the donation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yeah, I tried their widget, but that link should work fine now. Also, can you put it on the facebook page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Do you mind if I share this on my Facebook, Dunny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 No not at all, all I ask anyone is to not tag me in it if I happen to be on anyone's friends list. My idea is to make this a gift from Ranger fans but BSBH in particular, not a gift from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I've talked to the organizers and been told that the trust fund they've set up ends on July 1st. I'm going to set Wednesday as my date so I can get it all to them while I'm at home. Huge thanks to all for donating or passing it along! Keep 'em coming even if it's 2 bucks. Don't make me call you out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
