The LeFeat Family
Imagine the fun and excitement of Christmas day completely forgotten as your teenage son collapses in the floor and has to be rushed to the hospital! This is what happened to Korey LeFeat’s family on Christmas 2005.
Matt’s Story
Matt was a very active boy, who loved sports and especially bowling. Matt went through many months of headaches in the Spring of 2003. He went to a migraine clinic where they told me he was making this up and didn’t want to go to school. I know that wasn’t my Matt. He was always tired and pale. Finally in June 2003, I rushed him to the hospital because he was having a violent headache and looked so very pale.
Maci’s Story
We came to know about the Me Fine Foundation after our daughter, Maci was diagnosed with AML Leukemia in March 2005. From the beginning, Me Fine was there with us, and for us. They provided financial help during our journey. They helped with the mortgage payment, light bill, gas, food, and medicine. You name it, they were there. They even provided Christmas for our family. When we found ourselves in need, Me Fine was always there.
