Whew - this is hard to write. Our family is asking friends to help us get through a new and rapidly developing financial crisis. My dad was recently diagnosed with cancer.

My dad has been a union carpenter most of his life before transitioning to welding these past few years. He's the kind of man that was so full of joy while we turned up the end credits music to the movie Babe as loud as we could or watched and quoted Space Balls until the giggles stopped. He's a flip-flop-wearing dude in the winter and a bonfire in the rain "why not" person. More than that, he works so hard to make sure everyone is taken care of, and now it's our turn for him.

But cancer is a lift so big our family is struggling through it. (insert medicare for all plug here). We are so grateful to you and your families for the love, support, and kindness, but we also need this extra help.

Thank you for everything.

xoxo,

Sierra.
