A reminder that tonight (Friday, 2/5) is the fundraiser that includes a rummage sale, mini auction and bake sale for the Pook family from Magnolia. The event runs from 6-8:30p.m. at the Magnolia Community Center.
Organizers want to celebrate nine year old Sophia Pook’s
successful kidney transplant and raise money to help defray the cost of expensive anti-rejection medications. The event is hosted by Magnolia Friends of Sophia.
Nine year old Sophia, a student at Lawton, was born with a rare genetic disorder that eventually led to total kidney failure last June. Sophia’s mother, Camille, was a perfect match and doctors at Children’s Hospital and UW Medical Center conducted a successful mother-to-daughter kidney transplant in August. Both Sophia and Camille are recovering but Sophia will be on the costly anti-rejection drugs for the rest of her life.
