Rally for Amy Ackerman: Surgery and Recovery

You all know Amy Ackerman as the hilarious, sarcastic, baseball-loving, animal-helping, horse-riding friend to all.

She’s probably poured you a drink while telling you that your ex was a monster and that you’re better off without them anyway! She’s probably been the person that you call or go to when stuff in your life is falling apart, and you need someone in your corner. You’ve probably been out somewhere, heard this incredible braying laugh from across the room, and been like, “Oh. Amy’s here!”

Well… it’s time to return the favor and rally around Amy and help her get through her tough time!

Amy recently discovered she has a watermelon-sized mass growing inside her. It’s going to be a big surgery, and she’s going to be out of work for at LEAST two months.

This whole situation is moving very quickly from discovery, diagnosis, and treatment. She’s already had to pay thousands for diagnostic tests.

And unfortunately, the mortgage still needs to get paid, and the car payment, RG&E, and groceries, cat food, etc.

As most of us know, she recently lost both of her parents, and even more recently, her husband decided to not be a husband anymore.

She needs the support of the rest of her tribe so she doesn’t have to do this alone!

It would be so helpful if she could just think about recovery, instead of worrying if she’s going to lose her home because she’s going to be out of work, recuperating, right now. She’s worrying about how she’s going to possibly afford to have surgery and treatment.

So please, if you can contribute, please do! Even $20! Every little bit helps! And if you aren’t in the position to contribute, please share!

Let’s all be there for Amy this time, when she could use our support! Let’s show her how big her family really is!
