Dear Beulah Members and Friends, Reminder of two events: 1. Corey Campbell Benefit – March 13, from 6:30-11:00 p.m. – Okolona Fire Department, 8501 Preston Highway $5.00 Admission/$10.00 per family – Chili Cook-Off, Silent Auction, Dance, Poker Tournament Corey Campbell is the grandson of Beulah custodian, Dave Campbell. Corey received a kidney from his sister on December 29. The kidney is working perfectly, however, Corey’s rare kidney disease (focal segmental glomerulosclerosis), that required the kidney transplant, reoccurred the day after Corey’s transplant. Corey will have to continue plasmapheresis treatments three times a week trying to put the disease into remission. The insurance company is denying coverage of the pheresis at this point. Each pheresis treatment carries an estimated cost of $2,300.00. The Campbell’s have been financially, physically and emotionally stretched. Faith has sustained them. Please consider attending the benefit fund. If you cannot attend and would like to contribute please write your check to Beulah Presbyterian Church and mark on it “Campbell Fund.” If you would like to read more about Corey’s story, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/coreycampbell. 2.
