Fueling the Dream

Laura talks about how she was involved in a camp for kids who have cystic fibrosis. She mentions somone she couldn't forget named Debbie. Debbied lives in Shelby, shes married, and she has an oxygen tank which she uses 24hrs a day. Laura talks about how Debbie wants a lung transplant and is on a waiting list. Debbie is a fan of the Barenaked Ladies, and she wanted to get tickets to go to their concert. So a Carl Galeana, who owns a Dodge car dealership in Warren, wanted her to be happy. So he got her the tickets, and made her dream come true. I think Carl was so nice to get her those tickets. Even though he took all his time to get her the tickets and put back the auto show, at least this made someone happy who can feel alive again while she is enjoying the concert.
4th grade: Debbie Hennemeier is a woman in Shebly Twp. who is very sick, and she wishes she could do much more then she can do right now. She goes throughout her whole day carrying an oxygen tank on her shoulder. Debbie wants to get a lung transplant, to make things better for her, but there are some problems that make it hard for doctors to take care of her. She is a strong person, having to fight this sickness, but she has gotten stronger each year. Carl Galeana wanted to do something for her to make her happy. so he got her tickets of her favortie bands concert, and this made her very happy. By doing this he was able to fulfill her dream, of seeing The Barenaked Ladies, and this is just another little thing that will make her even stronger to deal with her illness.
