Suman's "Live in Abundance Here Now" Fund
Donation protected



Many of you know Suman as a long time Osho sannyasin, fellow traveler and bright light, always present and full of ease. She was in Pune 1, the Ranch and Pune 2, and has since lived all over the United States, living close to sannyasins, running businesses with them, and being a part of our world. She landed in Boulder and has been a big part of the Osho world there and was working for White Swan records cheerfully (even though she is 80 years young) until illness took hold.
Many of you may not yet know that she has been diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer and is currently undergoing chemo and radiation treatment to extend her life. While we've still got her with us, we want her to live in abundance as a testament to the generosity and kindness she has shared with all of us these many years.
Initially, we thought she would have surgery to remove the cancerous tumor in her lung, but this surgery was canceled because when they intubated her they found more tumor in her trachea and that they would need to take the whole right side lung out. Had she had the surgery, she would likely be on lifelong oxygen and have diminished quality of life. With surgery no longer being an option Suman rallied her friends and son, Ajita, aka James at Serenity Pool and Spa LLC, who came from Hawaii to be here for the operation in support, and made the decision to undergo the chemo/radiation with the understanding that if it gets to be too much she can stop the treatments.
We of course want her to stick around as long as possible in this fragile body and we are hopeful that by doing the radiation (6 weeks) and chemo treatment (12 weeks) concurrent, this will hopefully give her a few years (or more) as opposed to a few months (not more) in this body.
As you can imagine she can't work during this time and was already just making ends meet so we are asking for funds so that our beloved friend can spend this time without worrying or having any financial stress. This Go Fund me will be used to pay her bills, unpaid medical expenses, and alternative therapy treatments once she has completed the tough therapies. With this money she will be able to do whatever it is she wants - maybe a trip to see her son in Hawaii, maybe a trip to see her sister in California, whatever/wherever her heart leads her lets not let money be an obstacle for her!! Suman is such generous and free spirit - lets let her move through this time feeling not only the abundance of love we all share for her - but also with our generosity and an abundance of $ so that she can treat herself or her loved ones and not worry about expenses!
