Gift For Gavin.org: How to Make a Donation to Gavin's Cause

{ Hello! }

My name is Gavin. I am 11 months old. I was born with a genetic disorder called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency that caused my liver to go into failure. I was misdiagnosed for 3 months and underwent emergency surgery before they found out what was wrong. I am on the Organ Donation List and am waiting for my "gift of life" so I can have a liver transplant. You can read about my story by clicking {here}. Thank you for visiting my online journal!

*It is our deepest sorrow to inform you that Gavin passed away while waiting to receive a liver transplant. He was only 14 days away from his 1st birthday. Please, if you haven't already, sign up to be a registered organ donor today and talk to your loved ones about your wishes: http://www.donatelife.net/. Thank you all so much for your love and support during this last year.

How to Make a Donation to Gavin's Cause

If you would like to make a donation to Gavin's cause, here are a few ways you can do it:

Make a donation in person at any Desert Schools Bank, ask for "the benefit account for Gift for Gavin.org" (make sure you say "benefit account"!) This account has been set up specifically in Gavin's name as a charity fund. If the bank teller has a problem finding his account, you may need to remind them to look in the public access folder, under benefit accounts. If they still have a problem, ask for a manager.

Make an online donation through Paypal.com to info@giftforgavin.org. It is linked to his benefit bank account at Desert Schools.

Mail a donation to "Gift for Gavin.org" at P.O. Box 31765 Mesa, AZ 85275. All funds will be deposited into his benefit account. You can make checks out to "GiftForGavin.org" (He also LOVES to receive cards or letters! We keep them all in a scrapbook for him!) :)
