On November 17th of last year, Chandler Buie of Dedham come down with a bacterial infection that his body was unable to fight off.  His body went into septic shock, shutting down circulation.  As Chandler's fingers and toes were turning blue he was rushed to the ER, where 50% of the organs in his body began to fail.  If he hadn't gotten help when he did, he would have died.

He is the sole source of income for his family (wife Lisa and baby Madisyn),  and he has no medical insurance.

There will be a Benefit Supper & Silent Auction  this Saturday at the Eddington Salmon Club, at the intersection of Routes 9 and 178 in Eddington.  The event goes from 4 until 8pm, and includes a pasta dinner and dessert.

Silent auction items include a weekend at a Maine lodge and much more!

For information on the benefit you can call Gretchen Heidmann at 299-5889.  Or, if you cannot make it be still want to help, then go HERE!
