    Hello all of Linda's friends and family

    This is Linda's husband Alan and I wanted to personally thank everyone for all the help and support through this extremely difficult time.
    In general we are very independent and to be in such need was beyond overwhelming as well as very stressful. To see how many people showed up to show linda support, love, and to help in so many different ways was heart warming to say the least.
    Linda was obviously in very bad shape for sometime and she wishes she could personally thank every single person who help her/me/ us.
    One of the last times we spoke she said something which was a theme throughout our relationship. In a soft weak voice she said...I miss us. Although this disease ended our relationship it's impact will last the rest of my life.
    Thank you everyone,and I feel could say it a thousand more times...thank you


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..
