    Your daughter is amazing. It's very upseting to see something happen to someone so young. I wish nothing but the best for your little girl and the rest of your family. it's incredible to see clutchfans members so willing to reach out to her. I would love to send over some rockets stuff. Email me an address, koby.Licciardo@Yahoo.com.

    I would just like to say that my family and I are overwhelmed by the generosity and kindhearted emails and comments that you have left for my little girl.

    She is so excited & happy that people 'all the way over in Houston' care so much.

    This is what sets our fans apart from the other fans IMO.

    Thank you so much, and God bless you all.

    A package came from North Carolina today from Clutchfans member giddyup.
    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/member.php?u=3438

    Tayleesha has chemotherapy every Monday, and today is Tuesday in Australia. For a few days after chemotherapy she is always a bit unwell and a little lethargic, even though she will never admit it.

    Getting the package today lifted her spirits. The timing was impecable. She was also very excited to get a hand made card from giddyup's daughters that said...hope to see you soon.

    Tayleesha's first words were 'can we go Dad?'

    She says a big thank you to you and your girls giddyup.

    BTW...
    She is going in for another follow up MRI one weeks time, we should find out more about the effectivness of the chemotherapy then. I'll be sure to keep you updated on Houston's biggest little fan from Down Under!

    God bless you all!

    Tayleesha says go Rockets!

    Awesome! My kids have been asking me every day since last week: "Did they get it yet?"

    My kids want to come to Australia so we may have to meet in the middle somewhere....

    God, sometimes the internet and human kind can be so amazing and awe-inspiring.

    You have a beautiful family and life. May you continue to be blessed, my man.

    Go Rockets!

    Wow! The Houston Rockets organisation and our fans are awesome!

    As y'all are probably aware, my daughter is going through a tough time medically, with a skull based tumour pushing into her brain.

    Full story here...First page.
    http://bbs.clutchcity.net/showthread.php?t=215259

    Tonight we recieved a special package from Clutch The Bear! This was organised by a Clutchfans member Sabesque http://bbs.clutchfans.net/member.php?u=25389

    Clutch sent her books, personalised autographed posters (for her sisters and brother too), caps, pencils, Rockets sunglasses, shirts, tattoos and her new favourite teddy...

    And a few days earlier, Rockets GM Daryl Morey contacted me personally via email to wish my daughter well and sent out an autographed Kevin Martin jersey!

    http://t.co/CEXisyvy ( pics to come)

    Yes daddy was a little Jealous.


    Another package arrived from Tmoney1101 http://bbs.clutchfans.net/member.php?u=43078

    While I was on the plane to Alice Springs to do some missionary work.

    A week ago we also recieved some North Carolina gear from giddyup http://bbs.clutchfans.net/member.php?u=3438

    [​IMG]

    Clutchfans member cardpire http://bbs.clutchfans.net/member.php?u=30151 sent her a book about our back to back championships too.

    We have some good news to add. The chemotherapy is working better than expected, and the tumour has started to reduce in size. We are confident that she will make it through this ordeal. She may never regain the use of her facial nerves, but that a sacrifice that she knows she has to make in order to save her life.

    Thank you to all clutchfans for your generosity, prayers and well wishes. Tayleesha regularly gets on the iPad with me to look at Clutchfans with me.

    Your gifts really have cheered her up, especially when she receives them straight after chemotherapy.

    Sorry for post being short, I just got back from the middle of Australia, climbed Ayers Rock ( Uluru) and I am pooped!

    Autographed Kevin Martin jersey? Meh. Morey was planning on throwing it out anyway right after he trades Kevin sometime before the season. :p. Just kidding.


    Seriously though, your daughter has shown so much courage fighting this. Hope she continues to improve with treatment.
