Lungs for Libby tomorrow!!!

Good afternoon,

Some of you are already familiar with Lungs for Libby for Libby Hankins who is a 22 year old senior at The University of West Alabama in Livingston, Alabama, where she is majoring in special education. She is also a member of Phi Mu, a UWA ambassador, and the 2015-16 cheerleading captain. Libby was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at age two and was treated at Children's Hospital of Alabama and later UAB hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. In February of 2016 she was sent to Duke University Hospital in Durham, North Carolina, where she was waiting for a double lung transplant. This past Sunday, Libby was blessed with her “new” lungs.

A COTA account was created to raise funds for her ever-rising medical bills which could reach $500,000. This week we have been learning through Libby’s words what CF is and how it affected her daily life as well as others. After watching her video, each class made cards, and we would like to participate in the fundraising effort as well. We believe strongly at the Campus School in supporting one another and reaching out to those in need in our community and especially in our UWA Family. Please join us tomorrow in participating in Dollars for Libby by sending $1 to school with your child. We will mail all proceeds raised to North Carolina to Libby. If you would like to follow her story, please visit the official “Lungs for Libby” page on Facebook.

Thank you so much for your consideration.
