Let's help Erica beat cancer again
Help us raise money for our coworker, Erica's second battle with cancer. A few days before Christmas, Erica experienced abdominal pains and went to the hospital after work, where she got the gut wrenching news her cancer had returned -- she was in remission from breast cancer for a number of years. This capped a holiday season where she was already grieving the loss of her father due to illness shortly before Thanksgiving.
Erica is the oldest of two girls, a graduate of the College of New Jersey, and works two jobs -- one as a Phys Ed. teacher at Melvin H. Kreps Middle School in East Windsor, NJ and another as an administrative assistant at Princeton BMW (Holman Automotive).
We are trying to raise money to help pay for her mounting medical expenses in this tough time, as she's been unable to work for almost a month. She is currently undergoing surgeries and tests at Fox Chase Cancer Center to determine which treatment path to undergo, and to confirm the initial prognoses of ovarian cancer.
As her coworkers, we see the amount of work and pride she puts into both jobs -- working 70+ hours a week year-round to make ends meet. We would love to reach or exceed the goal for Erica to help take some of the financial burden away, so she can focus on a speedy recovery. Erica would never ask for help, so her coworkers at Holman Automotive are determined to reach this goal, as it couldn't have happened to a better person. She brings a positive attitude and brightens our lives, so help us brighten hers.
