On Sunday, Nov. 28 from 5 - 8 p.m. Stubb's Bar-B-Q held a fundraiser, benefiting the family of Austin preemie Thurston Mossholder. "Thurston was delivered by an emergency C-section at 27-weeks, after doctors discovered that he was not getting the nutrients or oxygen from the placenta that he needed to thrive. Weighing only 1 lb. 4 oz. at birth, Thurston has spent the last eight months in the NICU... Typically, NICU babies are home by the time they reach their original due date, but Thurston has required extra time and care in the hospital due to chronic lung disease and his need for high levels of oxygen. His extended stay has led to his sister having to start day care; previously Donna was home with her but now she spends a large portion of each day at the hospital. Other financial difficulties include medical procedures and tests not covered by insurance, gas to cover the frequent 30-mile round-trip drives to and from the hospital, as well as the physical and occupational therapies Thurston will need when he finally gets out of the NICU."(Brenna Hansen)
An online auction is being held at www.biddingforgood.com/thurston where you can find many items and services.

I set up a photo booth for the event at Stubb's and here are the results. A portion of the proceeds from print sales will be donated to the Mossholder family in support of the fundraiser.
