I am Lynn, and I never imagined I would be in a position to ask for help like this. Earlier this year, I was in India on a three-month retreat when I fell on my face. After the fall, a CT scan revealed that I had a brain tumor. I returned to New York in July, and an MRI found a second tumor that is not benign. Since then, my world has been turned upside down. I have been trying to process frightening news, make difficult medical decisions, and find my footing in a time that feels very scary and uncertain.

Right now, I have not felt up to going back to work, and I still have significant business expenses of about $10,000 a month that do not stop just because life has changed. On top of that, I am transitioning from my medical plan to Medicare because my 65th birthday is in October, and I do not yet know whether all of the doctors I need will accept Medicare. Your support will help me keep up with my business obligations while I focus on my health and navigate this complicated transition in care.

I am sitting here in tears as I share this, and asking for help is not easy. If you are able to give, please know that any support will mean so much to me. If you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser would also be a gift. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me through this overwhelming time and for standing with me as I face what comes next.
