Lea Forant is an esteemed Chef, for a decade in Provincetown, MA and then three decades in New York City- and best known for the popular Cafe Forant in Hell's Kitchen. Lea was diagnosed with Stage 3/4 Ovarian Cancer in June of 2022, and has been courageous in her journey managing the challenges cancer care brings. Lea was always cooking for people in need, whether it was meals-on-wheels for AIDS patients in Provincetown, first responders at Ground Zero after 9/11, or a families in our community in need of support, Lea has always been there, with meals and encouragement, in a crisis.

Lea is currently unable to work and bills and expenses related to her care have piled up. Let's Turn the Tables and help her get stronger and feel supported by her community of friends and family. There will be a benefit concert with some of New York City's finest singers on Thursday, November 2nd at 7:00 PM at Don't Tell Mama and this Go Fund Me will run until her birthday on November 11th. Make a reservation for the show, give to this Go Fund Me Campaign or BOTH. Though we have reached the $12,500 goal, we are keeping the fundraiser open indefinitely. All support is gratefully accepted.
