Emergency Fund for Eboney Thompson

Donation protected
One of our Calabash families is in desperate need of our help.  Eboney Thompson, a single mother of 4 including a Calabash Kinder and 3rd grader, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in late December.  The cancer has metastasized to her lungs.  Before her diagnosis, Eboney was a writer, life coach and entrepreneur.  For the past few months she has been unable to work and with her minimal insurance, the medical bills are piling up.   She's been in and out of the hospital as she undergoes a 3 month treatment of chemotherapy. 

She's been fortunate to have a good friend helping to drive her two Calabash kiddos to/from school each day, but her mounting medical bills and the day-to-day expenses for her family are causing so much additional stress for the whole family.  This is where we as a community can help.  

A MealTrain is being set up to help cover some meals over the next few weeks, but this additional financial support would give them flexibility in their meals and help them to cover a number of other expenses.

I'm amazed at how strongly our Calabash community comes together in moments of crises and I hope you'll consider making a donation to help support one of our families.  Any contribution makes a difference. 

GoFundMe takes 2.9% to cover credit card processing fees and $.30 per donation -- that's it.  Please share with friends and family if possible and let's try to help this Calabash family in their time of need.

Thank you in advance for your compassionate support!
