Patti and her family received some devastating news on July 26, 2024. Patti has been diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer and it has metastasized to her liver. Typing those words brings me absolutely no joy, however, it's time to step up and help Patti and her family. It is my goal to try and lift some of the burden off of them with your help.

Patti has been married to her high school sweetheart, Dana, for 37 years. They have 3 children, Ted, Kristin, and Jason. Patti and Dana also have 3 grandchildren that are their pride and joy. To know Patti is to also know her pure love for her grandchildren.

I have known Patti for more than 20 years. She is one of the kindest people I have had the honor of calling my friend. Patti has been a faithful employee of Richland District 2 for 29 years.

Patti is a fighter. The last thing Patti and Dana need to be concerned with is how they are going to be able to pay for all of the current and future medical expenses. As we all know health insurance will not cover all of her medical expenses.

Let's show her we are standing right beside her and fighting with her and for her. I challenge each and everyone of you to not only donate, but also to share her story and her donation link.

Thank you for your continued prayers and generosity.
