Today a Sharonville – West side family faces a life and death battle with Cystic Fibrosis. This debilitating disease shortens the life of its patients, on a day-by-day basis, as fluid fills the lungs and slowly asphyxiates the victim. Luckily, Cystic Fibrosis patients now have medical hope through technological breakthroughs using lung organ transplantation. Lungs from an organ donor are used to give the ultimate gift of life to a patient in need.
James Hamblin, age 38, of Sharonville, Ohio, has suffered all his life with Cystic Fibrosis. Despite his medical challenges and lengthy hospitalizations, he has worked full time for sixteen years at the Lodge Care Center, a skilled nursing facility in Loveland, Ohio. James has enjoyed cooking for the over one hundred and thirty residents and employees until last year, when on his birthday in February, James got sick and had to be off work over four months. Since then his need for oxygen is 24/7 so he had to quit work. He realized his disease was getting worse and that’s when his doctor suggested the double lung transplant.
James was evaluated by medical experts at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio and is considered an excellent candidate for a double lung transplant and has been placed on the waiting list. While the option is truly a miracle of modern science, its medical costs are extremely high due to the complexity of the procedure and the extensive pre and postoperative care. Unfortunately James’s insurance does not cover the full extent of transplanted related expenses. This leaves James and his new wife, Amy, on a daily roller coaster ride consisting of hope and uncertainty.
James lost his older brother Ron Hamblin to Cystic Fibrosis in January 2008. Ron had decided to be placed on the list for the double lung transplant but it was too late. Ron’s body could not fight the cystic disease anymore and he went on to a better place. We miss Ron dearly and we do not want to lose James to this awful disease. If you could see with your own eyes the agony Cystic Fibrosis has brought to the Hamblin family, it would deeply affect your desire to help.
The Hamblin family cannot face this challenge alone. As compassionate family members, friends, neighbors and concerned citizens, we are asking you to help raise money so that James can pursue this medical miracle of life. We are having an Italian Dinner Benefit Dance to raise money for James’s new lungs.
We are asking for any donations to be raffled off at the dance. Also donations can be made at any US Bank into the “Cure 4 James” account. Every little bit helps. Please find it in your heart to help give the gift of life. Thank you for your compassion, and please keep James in your prayers.
For additional information, or to donate an item for the raffle, call Connie at 513-289-9161, Amanda 513-240-4116 or Kevin 513-276-315. Donations can be picked up or mailed to: Kevin Vanover

Oscar Night America Party...
People Working Cooperatively Presents Humana’s Hometown Hollywood,
Cincinnati’s Only Official Oscar Night® America Party
CINCINNATI (January 22, 2009) – People Working Cooperatively (PWC) invites tri-state residents to enjoy the Hollywood glitz and glamour of this year’s Academy Awards at Cincinnati’s only official Oscar Night® America party Sunday, February 22, at the Cincinnati Hilton Netherland Plaza. Themed Hometown Hollywood, the 12th annual event is one of only 52 official parties sanctioned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences held across the country on Oscar Night.
Supported in part by title sponsor, Humana, the gala runs from 5:30 p.m. to midnight and benefits PWC’s mission to provide critical home repair services to low-income, elderly, and disabled homeowners in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
“Oscar Night has quickly become a renowned and cherished tradition in the city of Cincinnati,” said Jock Pitts, president of PWC. “Each year, the gala gives members of the community the opportunity to not only be a part of one of America’s most prominent affairs, but also one of Cincinnati’s greatest causes – to help residents facing difficult circumstances safely live in their own homes.”
The five-star Hollywood evening includes a red carpet welcome, screaming fans, celebrity look-a-likes and characters, live entertainment, martini bar, appetizers and a three-course gourmet meal. Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to participate in live and silent auctions and a raffle giveaway that includes a $5,000 cash prize or a trip to a Warner Brothers movie premier in Hollywood or New York City.
In addition to watching the awards ceremony live via a giant screen, guests also receive the same official program distributed to guests at the Oscar® presentation at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.
The night will be capped with a VIP After Party with a casino and dancing starting at 9 p.m. The party includes a chocolate bar, a caricature artist, photo booths, and champagne for the first $100 guests. Cost for the After Party for non-gala patrons is $20 at the door.
“Just as it is in Hollywood, Oscar Night Cincinnati will be a top-notch affair,” said Amy Finnegan, co-chair of PWC’s Oscar Night for the past 2 years. “From start to finish, our goal is to make guests feel like they are on the A-list. More importantly, we want people to walk away with a good understanding of how their participating contributed to an incredibly worthwhile mission.”
In 2008, PWC’s Oscar Night gala raised a record-breaking $105,000, placing it as one of the most successful Oscar Night events in the country. This year, PWC has set a fundraising goal of $110,000, which will directly benefit its Modifications for Mobility program.
Tickets for Oscar Night are $150 per person and are available for purchase at www.pwchomrepairs.org or by calling (513) 351-7921.

An email we received...
Fritsch:
My name is Audrea Boyle and I am writing to you to ask for your help. I am sure you receive dozens of emails asking the same but this may be a little different. Last Friday you may have heard on the news about a home in Price Hill that caught fire. That home was my mom’s neighbor. These people are mostly strangers to me aside from the neighborly hi and bye in passing, but I feel compelled to help them in any way that I can. Early Friday morning Marcus Guinn woke up to his house in a blaze. His 3 children were sleeping upstairs and he couldn’t get to them from the inside. Quickly he ran outside grabbed a ladder from his work truck and climbed onto the side roof, busted out the windows and with the assistance of his neighbor, Dennis Abner rescued his three children ages 3 almost 7 and 13 from their burning bedrooms. Mere seconds later flames were shooting from this same window. They are so grateful and lucky to be alive but now are left with the devastating reality of starting over from scratch! My mom, Ingrid Boyle has kindly stepped forward to help them in any way she can and I am committed to helping her do that.
What I am asking of you is this…I need someway to get the word out that this family needs help! I have set up an account called the Guinn Family Fund at 5/3 Bank. Anybody can donate any amount of money to any branch. They lost everything except the pajamas they were wearing. We are working really hard to get them the things they need but we need help. The middle boy lost his eyeglasses and Lens Crafters in Western Hills has gladly agreed to make him a new pair at no cost…my small office has donated as much as we can and my mom’s office has done the same, my aunt has gotten them coats. As you can see we are trying but it is no small task, I feel with your help and the help of the community we may be able to get the word out and really help this family.
Thanks for your time… and Merry Christmas to you all!

Mutt March...
The Hugs from Jeni Foundation is a non-profit organization developed by the family of Jennifer Miley in her memory.
Jeni was a Class of 2000 graduate of Winton Woods High School. She lived in Greenhills, in Cincinnati, Ohio all of her life and was involved in many community activities. She was captain of the Drill Team during her senior year and was also involved in the choir and band throughout the years of her high school career. She was a volunteer with the HOSTS program, the Big Sister Organization and was active in the Christian organization, Young Life. She also had a great love for animals and was always finding homes for stray cats and dogs. She attended the University of Cincinnati majoring in Journalism. Her long term goal was to use this degree to have a career in broadcasting to help people on a world-wide scale.
In honor of Jeni, quilts are made each year for children who are in crisis centers or foster care. The fabrics of the quilts represent the many things that Jeni loved - frogs, cats, dogs, books, the color purple, camping and the ocean. Lakeside Elementary school children draw pictures on squares that are then sewn together with other fabrics by our volunteers. They are then given to Project Linus, a non-profit volunteer organization that donates them to Children’s Hospital. For more information regarding our quilt project, click here.
Each year the foundation sponsors the Greenhills Halloween Mutt March held on the last Sunday in October. Owners and their pets are invited to dress up in Halloween costumes and parade through the Village of Greenhills . The activities include music provided by the Winton Woods High School band, raffles, demonstrations and vendors displaying their products and services. All proceeds from the event are donated to the Stray Animal Adoption Program, an organization that finds homes for stray animals. The 2008 3rd Annual Greenhills Halloween Mutt March will be held on Sunday, October 26 from 12:30 pm to 4:00 pm. To find out more information to sponsor or attend the event, click here.
If you would like to make a donation to the foundation to help us continue our work, please send a check payable to Hugs From Jeni Foundation to HFJF, P.O. Box 40701 , Cincinnati , OH 45240 .

Each year the foundation sponsors the Greenhills Halloween Mutt March held on the last Sunday in October. Owners and their pets are invited to dress up in Halloween costumes and parade through the Village of Greenhills . The activities include music provided by the Winton Woods High School band, raffles, demonstrations and vendors displaying their products and services. All proceeds from the event are donated to the Stray Animal Adoption Program, an organization that finds homes for stray animals. The 2008 3rd Annual Greenhills Halloween Mutt March will be held on Sunday, October 26 from 12:30 pm to 4:00 pm. To find out more information to sponsor or attend the event, click here.
If you would like to make a donation to the foundation to help us continue our work, please send a check payable to Hugs From Jeni Foundation to HFJF, P.O. Box 40701 , Cincinnati , OH 45240 .

Cerebral Palsy...
This is the first year Cincinnati has had a Reaching For the Stars chapter for Cerebral Palsy! This group is very active in creating awareness for this disability and wants you to participate in an effort to show support for people who live with Cerebral Palsy- whether it be someone you know, knew or see when you're out somewhere/ wondering who they are.
Our group is sponsoring a LOGO LICENSE PLATES campaign whereby friends and family can help show support and actually provide support all together! Simply sign up to commit to purchasing your next set of vehicle license plates from BMV with CEREBRAL PALSY at the bottom and it will cost you $25.00 extra for these logo plates(Most logo plates are $35.00 but we wanted families already strapped for cash to be able to afford this).Sign up by calling Pam Frank at (513) 385-6850 or e-mail her pam@frankbci.com. There will be an opportunity to sign up on Fountain Square on Oct. 30th 11:00-2:00. You will need your vehicle license number and your driver's license number for the sign-up. Deadline is tentatively set at Thanksgiving as we need to collect 1000 signatures to make this happen. Please tell your friends and family- it's a great way to make a family feel supported. Every time they see your vehicle they will feel a hug!
