The "Have a Heart" Chinese Auction for little Keegan Delcamp will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 1 at Batavia Downs Racetrack and Casino.
He will turn 3 in July and is tiny for his age because he is among the one in 300,000 children in the nation afflicted with Bland-Garland-White Syndrome.
It is a rare heart condition wherein the left coronary artery is not coming from the aorta, but rather from the pulmonary artery, thus mixing oxygenated blood with nonoxygenated blood. This causes his heart to work much harder than it should and subjects him to a heart attack at any time. He needs a heart transplant and is waiting for that chance.
Meanwhile, he is covered with health insurance, but the co-pays and deductibles are way more than his single mother can afford. She has one other son, also under age 5.
Please consider making a donation and/or attending the Chinese Auction for this little guy, who would enjoy going to kindergarten when he's old enough, maybe become a Webelo -- who knows, the whole world could be his Oyster with your help.
"May Day! May Day! Over?"
