Updated information on Kristin Molini:

Over the past ten months, as Kristin remains on the organ transplant list at Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital, it has become clear that, in addition to the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine, she also needs a liver replacement. Doctors at Pittsburgh have told Kristin that she will be their “next big case” but have urged her to get listed elsewhere so as to increase her chances of receiving the new organs as quickly as possible. In mid-October she and her family will travel to the University of Nebraska Hospital, where Kristin will be medically evaluated and, she hopes, placed on a second transplant list.

In the meantime, we congratulate Kristin on her completion today, October 3, 2007, of her Associates Degree in Liberal Arts. Despite tremendous obstacles, Kristin realized her goal in two years and is now perfectly positioned to begin studying for her degree in nursing, as soon as she has recovered from her transplant surgery.

 Kristin’s fellow Saviourites – the Class of 2005 – have kicked off a new round of fundraising; the “Rockin’-For-Kristin Committee” plans  a concert, featuring the Classic Rock group, Closenuf, to be held at Xaverian H.S. on Saturday, November 3 at 7:30 pm. (e-mail: RockinForKristin@gmail.com).  They have worked tirelessly on a number of events to raise money for Kristin and have demonstrated over and again the strength of the ties that bind our graduates together. Within the school, our current students participated in several fundraising events last year, from bake sales and out-of-uniform days, to tee-shirt sales and raffles. Student Council members are working on new plans for the fall.
