Bill Tracy, a well respected Bucksport High School social studies teacher has had a tough year watching his nephew suffer on a daily basis since he was born. Fin Tracy was born with a chronic lung disease, was born with two holes in his heart and has had two surgeries to close both of them. He has kidney issues because of both of these issues. He suffers from Tracheomalacia which means his wind pipe doesn't stay open, so he is currently trached to stent his airways open so he can be constantly supplied with oxygen.
According to Mr. Tracy Fin is an amazingly happy child and has been out of the hospital for the last five months but is constantly on antibiotics to fight off every little thing that pops up. He has two sisters Lydia and Ruby.
Our freshman class under the leadership of BHS staff member Heather Saucier is sharing Fin's story and is setting up fundraising activities in May and June to help the Tracy family with medical costs. Freshman Chris Grindle has taken a leadership role in planning activities for the family. Thank you in advance to the freshman class for all their hard work and making a difference in a child's life.
Fundraising activities will be announced on this blog.
