Leo's Fund Approved by the IRS

Our application for Leo's Fund to be granted 501(c)(3) status as a charitable organization has been approved by the IRS. This means that all contributions to The Fund can be deducted from federal taxes. A copy of the approval letter, along with the Federal Tax ID, etc., can be found here. Answers to questions around what to do with the funds (see below) are still pending...

Dear Dubinsky Family,

I am friends with Megan & Ed McNamara, whose daughter, Maria, was diagnosed with a DIPG last year. They established the Prayers from Maria/Children's Glioma Cancer Foundation at the beginning of this year. I am involved with the PFM/CGCF and have been assisting them with a new section designed to help families. Before the launch of this new site, Megan would like to send out letters to the families. We do not have your email information. On behalf of Megan and the foundation, I would like to invite you to privately email me with your contact/email info in order to include you in the announcements. I will also be able to answer any questions. If you are not familiar with the Prayers from Maria Foundation, please go to www.prayersfrommaria.org for more information on this site and the McNamara Family.

Keeping you in prayer.

Blessings,
Betsy Kaiser

Hi my name is Rachel, i have a youtube account with tributes to kids at their request (http://youtube.com/lilliesha) which you can see if you want to. I am interested in making a video for kids who have battled DIPG to show what it can do, and how it is a devastating illness. I am asking if i could use your child in this video, i will need to know DOB, DOD along with 3 pictures - 1 before diagnosis, 1 during treatment and 1 of something in memorial of them like a gravestone or plaque. I just want to show people the devastating difference, so if you could send one that shows some of the true tortures that they went through with DIPG so that people can really see the effect of it. I know that not many people know of DIPG but hopefully this may get some awareness as quite a lot of people view my videos.
If your child is not an angel then just 2 pictures are fine - 1 before and 1 during.
Thank you for reading this email, and i hope you think this is a good idea and will send me the pictures to put on, or give me permission to do so.

P.s you can also send me the link of the website and i will put it at the end if you wish. And if anyone has any suggestions of songs to go with the video, then please let me know. I will keep you all updated.
Rachel.

My Mum who was experiencing weight gain, hair loss and acne, bouts of chest and abdominal pain and several months of unrelenting headaches that no medicine could relieve, In fact, it got worse. saw various doctors they decided that the lab levels indicated nothing much at all, until we met a Doc. who did CT scan, and she was diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma. So after one year, A surgeon advice was to remove her tumor, along with her left kidney. she needed to see someone with extensive experience in treating adrenal gland tumors for the next phase of her treatment. Knowing she needed to get an answer once and for all, we looked up on the internet and saw someone who testified about Aryan herbal medicine which she took and she had no more symptoms since then. You can also contact him if interested at

I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
I'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what? I'm totally healed my cramp pain is gone completely I also used his Anti Bacteria herbal medicines it's works for me very well I want anyone with health problem to contact Dr Itua herbal center for any kind diseases remedies such as Parkinson, Herpes, ALS, MS, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Hiv/Aids,Cancers, Men & Women Infertility, I got his email address drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com he has any kind of herbal remedies for women & men also for our babes. I really miss my Hunni...he's a fantastic father & a good man. He doesn't deserve this. I feel like an empty shell of who I used to be...
