  • The Battle Continues!

    I just wanted to provide the latest updates on Linda’s condition. The treatments and the prescription drugs she takes to help with pain, etc. take its own toll on her. Of course, we hope they are making a positive effect to her health, unfortunately, they come with consequences to. Nausea, diarrhea, headaches, problems focusing, and overall exhaustion, are some of them. Each day Alan wakes Linda up at 12 am, to take her final dose of pills from the pre-made and sorted baggies. I believe her daily pill/baggie dosage is down to (3) at this point, but there may be more.

    Currently, it’s one day at a time, trying to be patient, and positive, and moving forward. I wish I could think of something more to say then “Thank You All”, but I’m no poet! You are all wonderful for support Linda & Alan; you are taking some of the intense financial repercussions that this disease is causing them. Please continue sharing the link, it really does help!


About this fundraiser

My beautiful friend of over 40 years needs our help!  She has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  Those closest to her, are in such disbelief of how this could have gone undetected and progressed to this stage, so swiftly.  Linda is a hairstylist, and anyone familiar with the business knows that if you are not working, you are not making money.  This means all financial responsibilities, now fall to her attentive & compassionate husband.  

Alan, who has always been a one man show at work (he is the sole proprietor of Bodywork Therapy), is now doing his best to keep Linda's doctors’ appointments, medication, meals, a roof over their heads, and Teddy (their beloved dog) comfortable and fed.  Again, if Alan is missing work, Alan does not get paid. 

Medical bills have already started to pile up; Linda is currently getting chemotherapy, and will also begin radiation treatments, as well.  As you can imagine, and maybe some of you know first-hand, this burden is too much for any couple to bear alone. 

Whatever you can do to assist financially is so important and so appreciated by all of us who know and love Linda, Alan, and of course Teddy..
