Hi, I am writing on behalf of my amazing mom, Linda Marie Darnall, she was diagnosed two weeks ago with ovarian cancer, I was with her in the hospital when an ER doctor gave us the news. Today at UCSF the results of her biopsy revealed it might be stage 4. So I am urgently seeking angels to be of assistance to helping my mom get through this very challenging time. This has been an incredibly emotional & painful process for her, and for me too. I have been feeling overwhelmed with how special my mom is, a kind-hearted soul, her life so far has been one of being rich in spirit and character, but of very humble means financially.

My mom, Linda, is the lady you see playing the local outdoor piano to enrich the day of homeless folks, she feeds neighboring goats, cats and squirrels, she has been praying for those in need her entire life, truly a humble and deeply innocent person, she doesn't smoke or drink, and is deeply rooted in her Christian faith, but also non-judgemental and respectful of all people and paths. She was in a severe motorcycle accident in her 20's which uprooted her ability to enjoy sports, hiking and the great outdoors in the same way she had before.

She also raised me by herself, a single mom my entire life growing up, and she is a brilliant pianist and artist.

I am also a proud dad to a 10 year old, my daughter loves her grandma so very much, and I am envisioning her getting decades of laughter and life experiences with her grandma.

My intention in creating this fundraiser is to raise money for any and all healing needed for her to get through and HEAL this cancer, from the traditional allopathic medicine and doctors, to naturopathic healing ways, healthy nurturing foods and supplements, all of these services and help require funds that she simply doesn't have at this time.

A crucial goal I have is to fly or drive my mom to live with my girlfriend and I in between her treatments in Northern CA, I live far from her in Portland, and she has no family attending to her needs in her local area. I feel that it’s vital she receive love & support by being physically closer to us for physical, emotional, spiritual support and to boost and super charge her healing with clean healthy food, assist in making her meals, smoothies, going on walks etc.

All of the funds raised will directly benefit my mom.

With deep gratitude to your contribution, I warmly ask for your help, thank you all, much love!

Jay Masonek, Linda's only child.
