Dear Family & Friends,

Many of you have suggested that we start a GoFundMe to defray the extensive expenses we’re incurring with Betsy’s situation. Already many of you have donated to that cause and we appreciate that so very much.

Since Betsy’s MRI and diagnosis of glioblastoma back in October, our expenses have escalated in support of her care and wishes. So in response to the financial reality we’re facing, we have created this GoFundMe. Aside from the lost income for myself, Jess, Phil, and Cassidy, we’ve spent over $17,000 since October supporting Betsy’s medical situation, comfort, and wishes, and we know there will be more ahead.

While Betsy, Jessica, Phil, Cassidy, and I will greatly appreciate any donation you would like to make, we also appreciate the contact with you and the love and care that has come across so substantially in these past months.

As we all prepare to make March as comfortable and nurturing as possible for Betsy in Los Angeles please know that we are SO incredibly grateful for your help in whatever capacity you are able to give, financial or otherwise. We hope you can feel our deep love and deepest gratitude from wherever you’re reading.

Thank you kindly

Jim Lehrman & Family
