  • Linda's Current Condition

    Helping Hands Friends & Family,
    I know it has been a while since I’ve updated you on Linda’s condition. The last several months have been chemo & infusion treatments, every three weeks. Many ups and downs with her energy & nausea levels, the downward pull continued. She has been in the hospital since Tuesday, December 17th due to low hemoglobin levels, which required a blood transfusion. To add to her ailments, she also has throat ulcers, making it difficult to talk, as well as eat.
    Please reach out to the family members, especially Alan, who can use all of the support you can give.
    Wishing everyone a Happy & Healthy Holiday, and a better New Year!


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..
