Hi there,

We are asking for your support for our dear friend, Anna. As many of you know Anna is one of the most passionate, caring and bright human beings that you could be fortunate to cross paths with. She has worked hard to accomplish many great things in her life like a very successful Lego hobby, a college degree, a mother, a wife, a friend, a daughter, and studying and maintaining a great career. Overall, Anna just shows up for others when needed. Now it’s our time to show up for Anna. At the beginning of a New Year there is excitement of fresh beginnings and new chapters, however this year had more of a grim outlook for our girl. Anna found a lump. Immediately, she went through the hoops with the doctors' appointments, scans and screenings to meet with the fate of Stage 1 Breast Cancer. Anna will be having surgery in April for a double mastectomy. After the surgery, she will need to start chemotherapy rounds. Anna and her family have always shown up for the people in their life when needed, and I am asking you to return that favor, in any way possible. We know medical diagnoses are extremely heavy on finances, but we don’t think about the other needs that come into play. Please think about supporting Anna and her family during this difficult time to help with medical costs, groceries, and other unknown costs that will occur with this unfortunate diagnosis. We would like Anna and her family to focus on important things like healing and being together at this time, without added stress. If you would like to help, but don’t feel like you are in a positive financial space at this time, please share this with anyone you can think of.
