If you will be in the Slidell area today (June 12th) and are looking for place to eat, please consider helping out the Scott family by going to Peck's Seafood(or passing this information along to friends and family in the area). You can read Amber's story and the fundraising information below.

Amber Rabalais Scott is a 29 year old mother, wife, daughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend to so many people. On May 22, at 38 weeks pregnant, her husband Tommy arrived home from work to find her unresponsive. She was rushed to Slidell Memorial where she delivered by Csection a beautiful, healthy, 6.5# baby girl, Adeline Elizabeth. She was then operated on to remove a blood clot from her brain. On May 24, still not having seen her daughter, she was transferred to West Jefferson Medical Center for more tests. The doctors there removed a portion of her skull to allow for swelling of her brain due to fluid. She is now in ICU fighting to get home to her new baby girl.

June 12th-Peck's Seafood and Poboys of Slidell is hosting a fundraiser from 11am-8pm on all dine-in and take-out orders. Matt Pecoraro, has agreed to donate 30% of all sales to Amber's fund. Also, an original painting by local artist Phil Galatas will be on display and raffled off. Tickets are $5/chance.

You can follow the story on facebook by liking "Amber's Prayer Team". Amber is truly a wonderful person and her and her family need lots of thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Thanks for reading!
