A birthday party for a friend in need
At age 14, a birthday party is typically a paintball bash or a pool party with friends. And the gifts normally come with a computer chip. But for his 14th birthday, Lufkin Road Middle School student Jonathan Harden got a different idea after talking to his mother. One of her coworkers needs a double lung transplant and money was tight. Harden decided to forego gifts and use his birthday to help his mother's friend, someone he barely knew. Harden's mother, Melanye Olive, is a driver's education instructor and special education teaching assistant at Apex High School. Her coworker, fellow teaching assistant Regan Bell, was diagnosed in 2002 with sarcoidosis, a disease where tiny clumps of abnormal tissue form in organs, especially the lungs. This summer Bell was undergoing tests to put her on a double lung transplant list at the same time she lost her second job. With two sons, ages 24 and 9, Bell had more than just herself to worry about. Harden decided to ask for donations to Bell in lieu of birthday gifts. He invited 15 families to a party at his relatives' home July 31. By the end of the day, Harden raised $918, which he recently presented to Bell. I was diagnosed when I had a car accident, and they had to do a chest X-ray. They also saw a lymph node enlarged on one side. I had been in the military, and my whole life, I'd never been sick. In a strange way, if not for the car accident, I never would have known. As far as the double lung transplant, I've got one more thing to do, then I will be put on the waiting list. When the lungs come in, you have to go in right (away). I will spend three weeks in the hospital and then three months at home recovering.Paintball While Raining - News
