Medical Fundraiser for Cindy Hanson

Håfa adai,

UPDATE..Cin is in the hospital now, and her surgery is tomorrow morning. We are still in desperate need of assistance. Please, if you can, donate whatever you can spare. I truly appreciate all of you who have donated.

Many of you may know that my sister, Cindy, has been suffering with degenerative disk disease and stenosis. Cindy has already had several surgeries on with her spine, but her condition has deteriorated rapidly over the last two years. Her neurosurgeon has recommended a minimally invasive procedure to replace a disk and fuse a section of her spine. Unfortunately, this procedure cannot be done in Guam.

Cindy will be going to the Philippines on September 17th. Fortunately, her health insurance covers the procedure, but not any additional costs, including air fare.

We are reaching out to family and friends to kindly consider making a small donation towards helping my sister with accommodations, taxies or shuttles, food, and any unexpected costs.

We don’t know how long Cindy will need to be there, hopefully no more than a few weeks. We need her to stay for as long as it takes to heal and be able to walk on her own again. Cindy is asking that anyone who makes a contribution to please leave their name so she may repay you for your kindness.

Thank you for support and love for my sister, Cindy.
