Dear 518:

This is Lori Sames. I started a GoFundMe for Stepanie Goodman and her 3 daughters, Gabbie, Cassie and Rebecca, natives of Clifton Park and members of the Shen Family.

Three weeks ago, Bob Goodman died suddenly. Days following, Stephanie was hospitalized due to extreme hip pain. She had surgery to remove infection and must remain on antibiotics for 6 weeks. She sees the surgeon again this Tues and may need to have another surgery.

Stephanie's employer didn't tell her that in the State of FL, you must buy short-term disability. It's unlikey Stephanie will be returning to work before the school year ends.

Stephanie and her girls will use donated funds to pay 3 months rent and have a funeral for Bob.

Please help support this family and help spread this GoFundMe throughout the 518. With appreciation, ---Lori
