This is a fundraiser for our dear friend Shawna Gallagher. On June 9th of this year, Shawna was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colorectal and Liver Cancer. Over the course of the next few months, Shawna's life was thrown into a whirlwind of doctors, procedures, trips to Portland and Scarborough, and finally beginning her chemotherapy treatments at Memorial Hospital.

Since the onset, Shawna has not been able to work and has had to temporarily relocate to a friend's home where it is more accessible for her during her treatments. Despite the diagnosis, Shawna has never lost her positive attitude and enthusiasm for life. Shawna displays gratitude every single day.

We are asking for help on her behalf. She has every day living expenses and medical bills piling up, and this is the kind of stress that she doesn't need on top of everything else. Please give what you can, and if you are not comfortable donating on a GoFundMe platform, you can send a check payable to Shawna Gallagher c/o Nora Mulkern Bean, P.O. Box 96, Jackson, NH 03846.

Thank you all for your love and support as Shawna navigates this part of her journey. It takes a village.
