What will happen with my donation?

It will go through Phil Wyman's Church, The Gathering.
(This is Elijah's Dad's Church)
Your donation will be tax deductible as The Gathering is a non-profit organization. Once all money is received, The Gathering will pass the donations over to Elijah where it will be put in a special savings account to be used for:
1. Paying off past medical bills.

2. Paying off future medical bills.

3. Saved for emergency funds incase Elijah is to relapse.

4. Saved for future health insurance, which will be very expensive now that Elijah has a 'pre-existing condition'.
