AIDAAN.org – What an AMAZING week!

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

Last week was a very exciting week for our organization!  We launched the website.  We created a page on Facebook, and we loaded Aidan’s first playlist to the site.  The feedback for Aidan, the organization and the website has been so overwhelming.  A family friend said to me, “You know…it comes down to this.  There are times in your life where none of that other stuff matters.”  I would have to agree.  I found myself checking the website almost hourly to see how Aidan’s message was spreading.

In one week, we have had so much fun and hopefully started a journey that will touch hundreds (if not thousands) of children and families facing the challenges of an extended hospital stay.  We recently delivered our 10th iPod to a Landry.  She is now in Houston, Texas receiving treatment, and we are sending great thoughts her way!  Please feel free to send Landry a message by posting a comment below.  We will make sure she reads your kind words!

Here are some fun updates from our first week!  Thanks to all of our new friends and Angels!

  • We have had approximately 400 visitors in the first week
  • In one week, the site has been viewed in numerous countries – United States, Mexico, Canada, United Kingdom and Poland – (just to name a few)
  • The State of Texas leads the way with 275 visits!  Thanks to the Lone Star State

We added new Angels this week to our network.  Thanks to our newest Angels in Disguise.  You are amazing and kind!

The AIDAAN.org website is up and running!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

We are incredibly excited to launch our website!  With the help of the fantastic Rose Daniels design team, we have created a fun and interactive website that we are very proud of!  We hope to spread Aidan’s message around the world.  (Special announcement – with the launch or our website, we are so pleased to announce that we recently delivered our 10th iPod to a special friend in Dallas, Texas. )

We are continuing to build additional pages, so that we can continue to highlight our exciting news and events.  We hope to build an interactive site for children facing extended stays and allow them to share in the fun.  Let us know your thoughts on the website.  If you have a fun song list, favorite movie, helpful tip or hint — we would love to hear about it!  Please–check back often. 

Take a moment to look through our website, and the great work of our very special Angels.   Share this great work with your friends and family.  To all of our iPod recipients–keep smiling!  

This website is dedicated to the very first Angel In Disguise — AIDAN IMMROTH!  Thank you Aidan for sharing your kind and sweet spirit!  You are truly an amazing Angel, and your message is one that has and will continue to impact many lives!
