When she heard four year old Aaron Tanner was waiting for a heart and double kidney transplant through a local news story, Women's Networking Alliance's founder and local business woman, Debbie Quintana, couldn't just sit back. Instead she leapt to action and began planning a fundraising event to benefit Aaron and his family.The Women's Networking Alliance (of which I am now a member) is pleased to announce the "Everyday Superheroes for Aaron" benefit. It's to help his family afford the tremendous medical bills they've incurred while Aaron has undergone treatments and surgeries for a congenital heart defect since he was just a week old. Aaron now needs a heart and double kidney transplant to save his life.
The Tanners are faced with maxed out insurance (His medical bills alone now go well beyond $1,000,000 ) and severe debt from these bills that are threatening to take away their home. For now, the family has Aaron home, taking three hour trips every other day for Aaron's dialysis and waiting for the call that could save Aaron's life.

Hi Stacie,
Thanks for spreading the word about this wonderful cause. We're proud to be helping, and I think our community ought to mobilize for more benefit events like this. You think so, too? BTW, Happy Birthday! Who knew?
