Peace-A-Pizza Holds Fundraiser for Young Heart Transplant Patient
The Catonsville restaurant on Mellor Ave. wants to raise money to help Teresa Bartlinski's family. The event is from noon to 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 26.
Teresa Bartlinski has been having complications with the heart transplant she had last week.
The 6-year-old Catonsville girl went on life support this week after another surgery Monday in Philadelphia. Back at home in Baltimore County, a local business wants to help.
From noon to 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 26, Peace-A-Pizza restaurant will be raising money to help the family, according to the Peace-A-Pizza Facebook page.
"We would like to help with some of their medical costs, and are asking your help to do so," it states. "Please show your support for this little Catonsville girl and her family!"
The restaurant is located at 15 Mellor Ave., Catonsville.
According to the Bartlinski family blog, the restaurant is donating 20 percent of their profits during that time Wednesday to Believe in Miracles, a "non-profit that helps the family with Teresa's medical expenses."
