  • Back Home

    After 3 1/2 weeks spent in the hospital, Linda has returned home for hospice care. All of the support that you have given has been invaluable to her treatment, and heartwarming to the soul. Please continue to reach-out to this family, in any capacity you can.

    “I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.” — Leo Buscaglia


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..
