Helping Ana

Everyone one who knows Ana, knows her to be a vivacious, charismatic, and compassionate woman. Her beauty is only transcended by her personality and warm heart. She is ever present as friend and is always there to uplift you with a friendly understanding smile, and encouraging words. Ana is that person who will go out her way to assure that you are taken care of and that you do not feel alone in this world. She is that woman who will care for your ailing parent, selflessly traveling back and forth so that your loved one have the necessary care they desperately need.
 
    Ana has always been an exemplar mother, sister, daughter, friend, and employee. She is a fighter with a strength to rival even Goliath. She is a spiritual woman, deeply rooted in her faith and this is evident in everything that she does. Ana has always been independent, striving with great success to raise her two beautiful children on her own. No one can rival her commitment to her children and grandchild. While being independent, Ana is at the same time a very private person and those who know her, respect and understand this complex woman. It is in this way that you will know that Ana keeps her friendships near and dear to her heart as she treats these valuable friendships as those of her family. Ana has dedicated the better part of 16 years towards service to others both professionally and personally. 
     Recently, Ana was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with metastatic disease. The unimaginable has occurred. Without a doubt, this has been a devastating news to her, her family, friends, and work-family. 
     Fighting cancer is no easy undertaking and it takes more than self-determination to keep the fight going. Strength, vigor, and courage are all components within Ana. However, the cost of the fight is high; spiritually and financially. Collectively, as family, friends, and work-family, let us join Ana in this fight. Let her know and feel the love that she has shown us all by contributing, even in the smallest way, to her continued fight. Funds raised will be sent directly to Ana. She should not have the added stress of trying to navigate the financial repercussions of this devastating diagnosis.
