Dear Friends,

Kayoko Tokutome (aka Hannah) was diagnosed with cervical cancer some years back. She has been doing all she can to fight it every day and has been a real inspiration to her friends and family.

But, recently, she doesn't have much of an appetite and has gotten so weak that she has become bedridden.

A few weeks ago, she went in for an MRI and was told the horrible news: The cancer has spread to her lymph nodes and lungs. The doctors are giving her 2 to 3 months to live. We were all devastated by the news but my mom took it the best of everyone and has stayed very positive throughout.

All of us siblings are scrambling to go see her as soon as possible but air fares for those of us in different countries and medical expenses for our mother are stacking up.

We wanted to ask you to please help in any way you can! Any little bit helps! Even if it's only $10!

Even if you can't make a donation, a few words of encouragement for her will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. And thank you in advance to all of you kind souls who help in some way.

Thank you! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Sincerely,

Nick Bertrand for the Bertrand Family.
