It's almost October! Our month of fundraising is just around the corner. Things are coming along, and we have been working hard at getting these together so we can raise the money for Dr. De Fina to treat Timmy.
The first weekend of October is our first fundraiser. It will be a car wash at King's paint located at 2851 41st Ave. We will be there from 10 AM - 3 PM
On October 10th we will be having a Pancake Breakfast at the Boulder Creek Firehouse from 8 AM- 12 PM
October 27th we will be having a Benefit Concert at the Calvary Church in Los Gatos. Doors open at 6:00, show starts at 6:30. Tickets are available now here: http://www.hope-culture.com/ if you click on 'tour' you can purchase via Pay Pal. I suggest purchasing them ahead of time since they are cheaper :) For more information on the concert you can go here.
Today Timmy did something pretty cool! I am putting in a video to show you. He is just learning to do this again and thought it was really funny!

Giants Game
Today we went to the Giants game! It was so awesome!! We arrived at the park and we went to the Executive Office to meet up with Nick (the guy who got us the tickets) and he had passes for us to go on the field for batting practice. We arrived a little late, so we caught the end of it, but we were on the field, which was way cool! We mostly were on the field with the Brewers, and their bench coach came over and said Hi to Timmy; Timmy got a smile on his face, and knew who he was. He told Timmy that we were all decked out in Giants gear, so maybe they would give us 1 today. We also went over and Nick had Casey McGehee come over and say Hi to Timmy (he went to Soquel High) Timmy really liked that, he got a HUGE smile on his face, and he signed a ball for him.
After practice we went to our seats, which were awesome!! We were behind home plate, but towards first base, so when we looked out we were able to see both really good. It was awesome, I think Timmy is their good luck charm because in the first inning they scored a Grand Slam! It was so exciting, and Timmy watched the whole time. They ended up winning 9-2.
I can't wait until Timmy gets to come home and we can do things like this more often. He was so excited! He is such a loyal fan :) Here are some pictures from the game:

Thank you SF Giants for inviting us to the game, and allowing us to come on the field for batting practice!

Dr. De Fina Consult
As most of you know, today was the phone consult with Dr. De Fina. Mom says he was easy to talk to, and let them do a lot of the talking. He was very interested in what they had to say about Timmy. He shared the same hopes and concerns for Timmy, which is nice since most doctors we have talked to haven't been very hopeful.
We have agreed to have a team sent out to run tests and evaluate Timmy. There is a lot of terminology we couldn't write down fast enough, but there are several tests he has decided to run. It will take several hours, and we will have to kidnap Timmy and bring him home for the day since his insurance is weird. The team will come, and then we will have another phone consult once they go back and discuss everything. We are just excited to finally know what's going on inside of Timmy's head since he hasn't had any scans or tests done since about a month after his accident.
When my mom asked him what his opinion was based on what he has seen so far with Timmy's records, he said "Yes, it was a very severe injury, but they have helped worse" :)
Today we also found out that we get to go on the field for batting practice at the Giants game this Sunday! When mom told Timmy he got a big huge smile on his face! We are so excited for this Sunday, it's going to be so much fun! We will make sure to take a lot of pictures and post them on the site.

Colin's 3rd Birthday
Colin turned 3 today!
It was a really great day. The party was at the park that's within a 10 minute walking distance from Timmy's facility, so he got to come. It was really cute. Last week my mom was visiting him and asking him if he wanted to pick out a present on toyrus.com and he looked at his 'yes' card. He wanted to pick out a game so that he could play with Colin, so he picked out 'Hungry Hungry Hippos.' He also got Colin The Muppet Movie, so they can watch it together too. Timmy was very specific, he wanted that game, and the wrapping paper to be green, so of course my mom went and got those things, and she brought it back to the facility so Timmy could help wrap it. When they were doing the card Timmy had a huge smile on his face when the pen was in his hand ( his left since his right hand isn't as controlable as his left) when asked to do a 3 on the card he got a huge smile and started laughing because he was trying so hard and did a little of a backwards 'c' :)
Today when we got to the park I had the present and I told Timmy , in his ear since it was a secret, that I had the present and Colin was going to open it. He started to smile and laugh. It was so cute how excited he was that he got Colin a present. Last year was tough since he wasn't able to leave the facility yet, so he had to miss it. This year was really fun since he got to be there. He even got a taste of some frosting from the 'Caillou' cake.
Yesterday the anonymous donor dropped off the $10,000 donation! We now have enough for the deposit for Dr. De Fina, but we still need to raise $75,000 so please spread the word about the fundraisers coming up. One is this Tuesday at the Los Gatos Pizza My Heart between 4&9 pm if you go in and say Hope Culture sent you, 30% of the proceeds will go to Timmy and Hope Culture to help put on the Benefit concert on October 27th at the Rio Theatre, which will be amazing! The bands are all really good! The bracelts are for sale on the right side of the page. If you live close to us, we can arrange a time to drop it off ( just email me friendsoftimmyhatch@hotmail.com), but if you would rather order through Pay Pal, I will send it to you :)
Thank you everyone who keeps Timmy in their thoughts and prayers, who spread the word for us, and who read our updates. It means so much to us! We tell Timmy all the time that he has thousands of people praying for him. Thank you!

Consult Postponed
Hey guys, I just wanted to do a quick update, the meeting with Dr. De Fina was suppose to be tomorrow, but when I called the office today to make sure they got all of his files, they told me that we needed to reschedule....so now we have 2 more weeks. But the good thing about this is we have more time to raise the deposit! We need to raise $25,000 for the deposit, and I really don't think it will be a problem. Remember we have the anonymous donor who will match donations up to $10,000! Spread the word, that offer will go on after the week of fundraising.
We have our month of fundraising in the works for October. In this month we will be have a fundraising every weekend except for the last weekend (Halloween) The date for the last one is set for sure! October 27th at the Rio Theatre. Hope Culture Presents: A Benefit Concert for Timmy Hatch! The concert will have I Am Empire headlining, they are really good! I will have the details on how to purchase tickets in the next couple weeks. I have been in contact with a very nice man who has put it all together, he is so great! We are thinking of a pancake breakfast, and I am contacting a movie theatre to see if we can have a movie night. So these will be some fun fundraisers! We will keep you posted.
Also, the bracelets should be in next week and I will be putting them on the site to sell. We are also having t-shirts designed to sell online and at all of our events:) So keep checking back in!
We need volunteers for our month of October, so if you are intersted, please don't hesitate to offer! Thanks guys!
