Hey Modbloggers, a member of the BME Family is ill and needs our help.
Ari Larratt is living with her mom, Rachel, in the US and has come down with some kind of illness that is making it hard for her body to digest food. As it stands right now, she’s going through a lot of tests to find out what is wrong, and the medical bills are already starting to pile up. Now because Ari is living in the US, everything is coming out of pocket from both Rachel and Shannon. The bills are already approaching $7000 and they still have yet to get a diagnosis.
So, to help raise funds for Ari, Shannon has designed a brand-new BME logo shirt. It’s going to be sold in the BMEShop for a limited time, with all proceeds going to Ari’s medical bills. The design itself is basically an updated take of Scott Fox’s original BME logo, mixed with the Calm logo, and incorporates modifications that weren’t around when the designs were originally created.
You can order the shirt right here. We’ve set the price of the shirt at $20, with the option to donate more if you wish. We’ll also be sending along a bunch of BME stickers in addition to your shirt, depending on how much you are able to give. But even if you aren’t able to give any extra, just getting one shirt will go to help a sick little girl get better.
Also, if anyone has any information on health insurance plans for children only, please get in contact with Rachel via the BMEShop e-mail address ([email protected]). Her insurance won’t cover Ari, so she’s looking for a plan that is just for children.
My 5-year-old daughter has gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying), which is what this sounds like. I hope they find out what is it soon!
God! Why it doesn’t work for me to buy something in BME shop((((
Always when I go to buy …my account goes log off…. =(((
grrrrr >.<
I wanted to help also but…(((
@Kate: e-mail the shop and let them know what’s going on. [email protected]

Please keep selling the shirts at least for another week or so. Payday is in a week and I’ll definitely be picking one of these up, if not two. Haven’t bought a BME shirt since I left about five years ago, so this is definitely a good reason to buy one again!

Just bought one for me and one for my GF. Remember, even if you don’t want a shirt yourself, you can always purchase one as a present. It will be giving the gift of a healthy life to a little girl, and the gift of a sweet ass t-shirt to another special girl in your life.
Hope all works out, medical bills are killers. I know in New Hampshire we have Healthy Kid’s gold has 0 co-pay for anyone under 18 who qualifies for state assistance. Even if the families don’t, they make exceptions with special cases. I would check with any state assistance programs in your state and see if she will qualify for an exception. I mean who really has 7grand laying around for medical bills?
