The Walsh family is in for a long road ahead and supporters have found a way to help the family through it.
Opal, the two-year-old daughter of Wendy and Chris Walsh has a kidney transplant scheduled for the end of May. Her mother Wendy is the donor. This operation will, without question, have an impact of the young family.
Supporters of the family have planned a ”Get Stuffed” baked potato lunch and silent auction to support the family.
“Our plan is to come together as a community to assist the family with all the hardships associated with the transplant and Wendy and Opal’s recovery from surgery,” states a support letter.
On May 4, Get Stuffed will be held at the former Liquidation World at Greentree Mall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This lunch is dedicated to the famous tuber. The event includes a silent auction, with the proceeds to go to the family.
Right now organizers are going to the community looking for silent auction items for the event.
Those interested in donating an item to the silent auction can contact Sherri Armstrong at 403-823-3949.
