The Zottola's have been a part of our community since, well, forever.  It saddens us to learn that Tina (on the left next to her momma) has been diagnosed with a rare aggressive skin cancer, Merkel Cell Carcinoma, and is in need of aggressive treatment.  Tina will undergo surgery next week in Texas at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital and then will need to return to there for aggressive radiation treatment which will be five days a week for a six week period.

The family would never ask for help under normal circumstances, so I am reaching out to the community we know and love-who has provided so much support for all of us at one time or another-to step in and do what we can.

The Zottola's are like my extended Hiouchi Family.  We have grown up together, celebrated together, and grieved together.  I am asking for our community to show them financial support to get through this very difficult time.

Please consider giving whatever you can afford.

With sincere appreciation,
