There is no way to look at this baby’s face and not be moved. We’ve gotten a number of emails from the organizers of this event about a “Giant Stoop Sale for Babies” tomorrow at 422 Third Street in Park Slope and a Blood and Platelet Drive for a beautiful child named Thomas Golden Randolph. He will be a year old next month and is a member of the June Babies Group in Park Slope. Per the email:

In December, he was diagnosed with a life-threatening disease called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, which is similar to cancer and affects bone marrow and blood. He has been receiving chemotherapy and steroid treatments multiple times weekly and blood and platelet transfusions. He recently faced a major setback and his blood/platelet transfusion needs have increased. The June Mothers Group is holding a giant stoop sale to raise funds for Golden’s medical care as well as a call for blood/platelet donations. Any surplus funds will be donated to the HAA.

The Stoop Sale is at 422 3rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues tomorrow (5/18) from 10AM to 4PM. If you are attending the Fifth Avenue Fair stop by and purchase something or simply make a donation. It will provide a mega-credit of very, very, very good karma. The Blood & Platelet Donations are through Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Schwartz Building Lobby, 1250 First Avenue (Between 67th and 68th Streets) on Tues – Thurs 830 a.m. – 730 p.m.; Fri – Mon 830 a.m. – 3 p.m. Here are some details: “Platelets from any blood type will benefit Golden. Please specify donation is for Thomas Golden Randolph, patient# 35186709. Please call Marion Novak at 212-639-7643 to schedule an appointment and confirm eligibility. Appointments must be made in advance.” These are very concrete ways you can make a small difference in one little life.
