Snow!

Chase had a fairly good day today. He played with his
baby sis, had a visit from Grandma Sheri, and then
spent some time with Mawmaw Robin and Grandpa Randy.
Chase also went out in the snow with his Dad and rode
the big 4 wheeler!
Mimi Jane, and friend Linda Woodruff set up a table
today at Millers grocery store in Clyde, and sold
raffle tickets for a huge Mary Kay basket filled to
the rim with over $200 in retail products from Mary
Kay. They also sold Pioneer Mill Dinner tickets and
Spaghetti dinner tickets for the Chase Berger Benefit
and fundraiser on the 26th of this month.
Mimi Jane will be at Miller's grocery store again on
Wednesday, Feb 8th, with the $200 Mary Kay gift
basket, and all of the tickets, to help raise money
for the family. Stop in and say hi, and get a flier
with all of the information about chase.
We would like to thank Dave Hisey and Miller's
grocery store for allowing us to use their store. And
a big thank you to all who donated, and purchased
tickets, and just stopped by to ask how Chase is
doing. Our family appreciates how our community has
really pulled together for our precious little guy,
Chase and the Ferkel family.
Chase and his Mom, Jessica will be traveling back to
the Cleveland Clinic very early on Monday morning for
Chase to start another week of chemo and radiation.
They will be staying at the Ronald McDonald House near
the hospital. The Ronald McDonald House will be their
new home for the next (5) weeks, as Chase needs to be
at the hospital for his radiation every day except
weekends. He will also be getting chemo too.
The Ronald McDonald House is a very nice place. They
have alot for the kids and parents to do there. Also,
there is usually volunteers that come in and cook for
all of the families that stay there. At least (1) meal
per day if not more. They have washers and dryers for
the families to do there laundry, and also televisions
all through out the house for families to watch tv and
videos. There is also a Media room, for those who want
to be on the internet. The price per day there is $20.
That is very reasonable when you consider what you
receive there. But it can get quite expensive when you
know you will be living there for the next 5 weeks.
Even though the kids wont be there on the weekends,
they still pay for saturday's and sunday's so they
won't lose their room. There are families staying
there from all over.All with very sick children.
Sometimes there is a waiting list, so you want to make
sure you keep your room. They are almost always full
to capacity.
The Ronald McDonald house excepts donations. They are
always in need of pre-paid phone cards, laundry soap,
travel sized toothpaste, toilet paper, paper towels,
toothbrushes, bleach, fabric softener,dish soap,
cleaning supplies and so much more. But most
important, please pray for all of the families and
children staying there, so many of them are very far
from home, and most of the children have life
threatening illness's.
Their address is The Ronald McDonald House 10415
Euclid Ave Cleveland OH. (216) 229 5758.
The family of Chase Berger would like to thank you
for your kind words, prayers and well-wishes during
this time. We so appreciate the phone calls and emails
you have sent.
