Dear Friends,
Our wonderful friend Karen Okamoto, Kaiser MOA, Lab Services, has a beautiful 17 year old daughter, Jennifer Madison Okamoto, who was recently diagnosed with a devastating illness, Stage IV non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Jennifer was flown to WA last week, then Stanford, from Hawaii, to receive special, very strong chemo, at Stanford's Children Hospital in Palo Alto, in hopes of a cure.  Jennifer is receiving chemo intravenously and into her spine. Karen just left Hawaii to move to Oregon to help her sick mother and has now been hit with this. Karen just started her new job at the lab in Kaiser, Oregon, last month. Karen and Jennifer will soon be faced with huge hospital bills after just having moved and starting her new job. They badly need our help. Karen will need the funds immediately. Any act of giving will be sincerely appreciated by Karen and her daughter and we will all be so thankful for any help you can give. No amount is too small. Please help our friend in her time of need.
