Elijah Wyman Kidney Fund

The Wymans

Elijah and Rhonda Wyman are the creative and talented folks behind Figs and Ginger.  Together, this husband and wife team craft gorgeous jewelry.  Last year Elijah (who is now just 22-years-old) learned that he required a kidney transplant.  The amazing news is that a match has been found and he will receive a transplant on June 6, 2007 (from a wonderful friend, Jason Rozen).  Unfortunately, Elijah’s insurance coverage was quickly maxed out and he had to take a break from work, school and music due to his illness.  This couple is financially in a bind.  The Elijah Wyman Kidney Fund was set up to help with their expenses.  To learn more, please visit their site and pass on their story.  Donate if you can and send your well-wishes their way.
