If you don't already know the full story with my sister:

This benefit is for MY sister Jenny and her children Paige and Dean. It's THIS Thursday, it's a weeknight, if you don't have anything planned, please go & bring as many friends as you can!

On October 27th 2006 my sister's husband was brutally attacked by two teenage boys. They took a baseball bat and brick to his head and body and left him for dead. With a blood clot and chipped bone on his brain, he had surgery and will be recovering for the next couple of years.

I went to England the first week of November to see Chris (my brother in law) and try and help my sister as much as I could. Chris has been the sole provider for the family, and now with his accident he cannot be. The neighborhood they live in isn't a good one at all, before this happened, they could afford to live there.

Before Chris's accident, he was a recovering alcoholic. When he used to drink (13 years ago) he was angry & violent. He became sober once they had their children and became a wonderful father and husband.

The accident changed things. After approximately a month of hospitalization, the NHS felt it necessary to release him. As of now, he is confused and disorientated as to where he is and who everyone is in relation to him. Because of his confusion, he thinks he is still a drinker. His violent temperament has come back, and so he is being kept at a distance from his wife and children until he recovers. They say it will take a couple of years for him to fully recover.

With my sister jobless and with two children, she cannot afford to stay where she is. She has juvenile arthritis, an under-active thyroid and a few other medical conditions that keep her from working. Chris's family are looking after Chris, and that is all they can do.

My parents are pulling together with me to scrape every penny we earn to get my sister & children over here for the holidays. They can be with loved ones who will do anything for them. As of now, we are all trying to raise enough money to get my sister healthy, her children a Christmas, and to make sure they can continue living.

This is MY FLESH AND BLOOD. I would do absolutely ANYTHING for her.
Let's get her well and living again. Thank you to all those who have helped through donation and art! Every penny counts!

Thank you, Andi.

So come on out and show some support!
