Hello Cousineau Family:

It's Ann Carpenter, one of the MANY people that is inspired by Evan's story/journey, bravery and courage and your continued bravery and passion to fight childhood diseases such as Evan's and save lives through Donating Blood.  I'm also on caringbridge and have signed your page a few times (www.caringbridge.org/visit/ascarp).  I don't get to sign as often as possible, but I do check your site frequently to keep up with you.

I wanted to let you know that Evan continues to be an inspiration to me in so many ways, and I know he is making a difference, through his inspiration and his fight.  Because of your courageousness to continue to fight, HIS story and legacy will FOREVER LIVE!

You, and EVAN are ALL saving lives, just by being such inspirations.

In the past few years I had wanted to donate, but had not been able to because of various health reasons of my own that prevented me from doing it, or made it unwise at the time.

TODAY I went to school and American Red Cross was having a blood drive and I DONATED!!!!

It felt so good, and I certainly felt proud.  They asked me why I was donating and I explained that there were many little kids I have come to know and love on Caringbridge.org and among them is Evan.  

Please know that your encouragement, information, and passion has inspired another to walk in and give blood in hopes of helping others.  

I attached some pictures for you to see.

Thanks for all you do, and most of all, THANK YOU, DEAR ANGEL EVAN for all you did on this earth and CONTINUE to do forever and on!

With Love HOPE and a new sense of Confidence (All because of EVAN),

Ann
