Relief for the Orr Family-Remembering Lisa's Legacy

Donation protected
Hi all, my name is Shavonne and I am creating this on behalf of my only aunt, Lisa Orr Robinson. Let me tell you a little bit about her!

Lisa is a devout gospel musician and played the piano and organ since she was a young girl. She played piano for various churches in North Carolina until she was diagnosed with cancer.

She was also an adoptive parent to a woman with Down Syndrome (Linda) for over 20 years until Linda, unfortunately, passed right before Lisa’s cancer diagnosis.

In November 2022, Lisa was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She endured multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiation which made her lose her hair, her weight, her job, and some hope.

The treatment seemed to be working and her numbers were starting to get better and then in February 2024…doctors discovered that the cancer had spread to her right leg and back.

She is now mostly bedridden and has difficulty walking due to a lot of pain. Along with the pain, she explains that her bed is not able to support her properly.

This GoFundMe will help her purchase an adjustable bed (~5k), a wheelchair (~3k), increase an all-organic diet (~2k), repay medical bills (~3k), and hire an in-home assistant to help cook, clean, maintain the house, and transport to appointments.

My aunt has never been one to ask for help. She has always been the most independent woman who cares for others. I’ve personally watched her care for elderly relatives and sickly family friends, be a foster parent to children in need, and be a highly respected supervisor for special needs group homes.

If you have anything to spare, please consider donating and helping our family give her the support she deserves. No amount is too small. Thank you in advance and God bless!
