Roopy is fighting Leukemia.

Hi, our names are Shannon, Amy, and Megan, and we're very good friends of the lovely Roopy Toor.

Our beautiful, generous and kind friend Roopy has had the unimaginable happen and has recently been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukemia which has required her immediate check into VGH. She has spent the last 8 weeks in VGH receiving chemo treatment, which has ravaged her immune system. Because of the risk to her system, the number of visitors she could see was extremely limited as she could not be exposed to outside germs - including being unable to see her son, Ari.

This has been devastating for Roopy, Ty, and Ari.

She has recently been allowed to leave VGH but must stay within 30 minutes of the hospital, which means she cannot come home to Squamish. They've had to rent an apartment in Vancouver for outpatient chemo for the next 5 months. Tylor is commuting daily to care for Roopy and to keep life as normal as possible for Ari. Despite starting to sell off several assets, their inability to work during this time, their need to rent a new place close to the hospital, and gas prices being so high for commuting are rapidly depleting their resources.

They are not ones to ask for help, so we are asking for them. Roopy and Tylor are both amazingly generous community members and friends of Squamish. We're asking for people to help out and give any amount you can. Please share this through the community and through your networks.

Please help Roopy, Ty, and Ari get through this very difficult time and show them that we have their backs just as they would have ours.
