My name is Meredith Ryan, and I am reaching out on behalf of my longtime friend and co-worker, Andie Freberg.

In early, February Andie learned she had a meningioma. What is especially surprising is that she had absolutely no symptoms-this diagnosis came completely out of the blue.

A meningioma is a tumor that grows from the lining around the brain (not the brain itself). And most of the time they are benign (not cancer).

But it is a tumor…near the brain…so that means brain surgery and 6-8 weeks off work with no pay.

Now I ask for your support.

I am starting this fundraiser to help ease the financial burden during this time so Andie can focus on what matters most-healing from brian surgery.

Any contribution will make a difference. And if you are unable to give financially, please consider sharing this platform to help get the word out. Every little bit helps!
