This is my beautiful friend, Ann Marie, and her brother Joe. Those of you who know Ann Marie know she is a caring, selfless, amazing woman. She’s the sole caretaker for Joe – 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and she would have it no other way. Joe suffers from a stroke disease called CADASIL. Joe is wheelchair-bound, has a feeding tube, and dementia kicking in. Ann Marie was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is in stage zero but will be going through a partial mastectomy. Ann Marie will be paying for around-the-clock care for her brother – out of pocket.

March 24 is the day of Ann Marie‘s surgery. Every little bit helps when this incredible soul, who has cared for her family for so long, needs a little care herself.
