The Griffins medical funds

Donation protected
Hi everyone. Lisa and Lisa here. Our good friends and long time Burbank residents, the Griffins, are in crisis. Ileane, Patrick, Naomi and Tyler have been living with Ileane's breast cancer diagnosis for about eight years now. Ileane's mother passed away from breast cancer two years before Ileane was diagnosed. The one-two punch hit Ileane hard, and she's been fighting ever since. 

 As we all know, Ileane's passion for the arts is her heart and soul. A former published songwriter and signed singer, as well as working in the field of acting, arts and entertainment have been the driving center of her life.

Patrick, the love of her life,
composer and recording artist, has made his passion of 
music and the arts, as theirs was a match made in heaven. Their life as a family grew, gifting their love of the arts to their beautiful and talented children Naomi and Tyler. Ileana has made her mission in life to this day to give and support those in the arts to be her priority in life. 

Ileane & Patrick have gone above and beyond for many, from giving room and board, driving to and from auditions, acting coaches, head shots, etc... while still raising a family and running a household with a 
gracious smile and making each and everyone feel like we’re the only one in the world that matters, while fighting her cancer head on.  A true friend and mentor. 

   Until recently Ileane's cancer remained isolated and the medicines the doctors' prescribed seemed to work. 
Unfortunately, the cancer has now progressed, and has spread to her skull bone, bones and liver. Although this is devastating news, Ileane continues to stay her same fun self, laughing with the kids and 'Pickles' her dog, still working from her bed, and getting ready to lace up her gloves again.  After countless surgeries, 3 bouts of radiation, she is now starting a second and rest-of-her-life regimen of chemotherapy, among many other natural therapies as well. Now they really need our help. While she does that, the whole family needs help supporting her, which means work cannot be the focus of their lives - SHE MUST BE. 

This go fund me account is to help alleviate the mounting unpaid bills, overdue serious home repairs, and some basic housekeeping to give support for the 
Griffins so that the pressure of everything does not fall solely on Patrick, which till now has been taking a toll on him as well as everyone in the household. It’s time to give back and show our support. Anything we can give for the Griffins will be appreciated. 

Thanks Burbank families and to friends beyond, for any help that's possible for you to give. 

Love to all. Xoxo
