Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

We are reaching out to you today in support of our dear friend, Janice. To those who know her, Janice is more than just a friend – she is family. Janice has always been the life and soul of the party, bringing joy, laughter, and love to everyone she meets. Over the past few years, she has faced numerous health challenges with incredible strength and grace. Unfortunately, her most recent battle has been the hardest yet - bladder cancer.

Janice's diagnosis has been a devastating blow, not only to her health but also to her family's wellbeing. The toll this has taken on her physically and emotionally has been immense.

Why We Need Your Help

In the UK, we often take for granted the comfort of a healthcare system that provides essential treatment and care, regardless of income or circumstance. Sadly, this is not the reality for Janice and her family in America. The cost of medical care is staggering, and every step of Janice's treatment - medications, hospital visits, and medical supplies - comes with a price tag.

How Your Support Will Help

Any contributions, big or small, will go directly toward:

• Medical expenses (supplies, equipment)

• Essential living costs (utilities, groceries)

• Caregiving support for Janice, Vince and Nick

• Relief for Janice’s family, so they can focus on what matters most: her wellbeing and recovery

By supporting this fundraiser, we are not just helping to cover supplies - we are giving Janice and her family the chance to focus on her health and healing without the crushing weight of financial stress.

Why Your Help Matters

We are reaching out as her friends and family, both near and far, to ask for your help. Here in the UK, where Janice is deeply missed, we want to do whatever we can to support her and her family through this incredibly difficult time.

Janice would never want to ask for help herself, but we know how much it would mean to her to see how loved she is by those around her.

Your donation, no matter how small, will make a profound difference in their lives. Whether you’re able to contribute financially or share this campaign with your network, your support will mean the world to Janice, Vince and Nick.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering this request. Together, we can help lighten the burden and give Janice the best chance to focus on her health and recovery.

With love and gratitude,

Tineke, Melisa and all those who love Aunt Jan/Janice

Funds will be received by Nick Povio on Janice’s behalf. (We wanted to surprise them, but not possible with social media and sending the money in dollars).
