While filming at the Tavern on Main some of the cast and crew heard the story of a local girl, Alexis Foster. Given the recent challenges she has faced, we wanted to get together and show her our support! Her story is below:

"My name is Alexis (Lexi) Foster and I was born and raised in the town of Chepachet. I grew up with a little sister and lived a normal life. I graduated from Ponaganset High School, got excepted and graduated from Bryant University. For years we were a normal, blue collar family from a small town in Rhode Island. My life turned upside down in January 2024. My father passed away after taking his own life. He was my cheerleader and my hunting buddy. He taught me and my sister how to hunt, fish, ride ATV's and everything he knew about Carpentry. My grief was put on hold when in June of 2024, just shy of 6 months without my dad, I was diagnosed with Hodskins Lymphoma. I spent 3 days at Miriam Hospital in Providence doing scans and tests. I started on Fertility prevention to insure I could still have a normal life after

everything I had to go through. I started treatment in August after having my Port placed in my chest. The port would only last 2 treatments as my body rejected it. I had to have surgery to remove it, leaving me with an even larger scar on my chest. I had a picc line placed and had that until October when I could have it removed. I shaved my head in October. I celebrated thanksgiving and Christmas feeling sick and upset that I didn't have my father. I wrapped up treatment and rang the bell one week after my father's one year anniversary. I have been healthy for 6 months now and I am grateful for every day. My mother, sister and my boyfriend have been by my side since my father passed and without them, I don't know where I would be today."

Remain team - this town welcomed us in while filming with open arms. Let's rally together to show them how much we appreciate our time with them! Please do whatever you can to help Alexis.
