Hi there, we are raising funds for our very own Kala C., one of the Burning River Brigade's leaders. Kala was recently diagnosed with Triple Negative breast cancer. Though it is an aggressive cancer and she will have a fight ahead of her, we know she will beat this! Always a warrior, she will approach this disease with the same fierce spirit that calls her to speak out against injustice and act to make the world a better place. As you all know, she is mother to Ayva, and they are a close pair. I struggled to find photographs where Kala and Ayva were not side by side, as they are rarely apart. As a single mom/one earner household, it's a struggle sometimes just to stay afloat financially. This diagnosis will present a financial burden, to say the least. She will miss out on significant work and pay and have costly treatment and copays on top of that. This is where our brave and generous friend could use some support. I hope you can contribute to her expenses as she fights this awful disease. We want to relieve some of the stress and keep her afloat as she recovers. She gives so much of herself to others and to causes that support those in need! It's time we show her that we can return some of that kindness to her. She will heal and continue to live her life as the passionate mother, friend, worker and activist that she is, but she will need a little help along the way.
