Support Debbie’s Cancer Treatment & Help Local Print Shop

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Janice, and I have created this GoFundMe on behalf of our dear friend Debbie Shanahan, owner of Low Knob Press in Cloverdale, CA, and beloved Administrative Assistant/Office Manager at Ukiah United Methodist Church.

As the owners of Low Knob Press in Cloverdale for over 16 years, Debbie & Mike have poured heart and soul into their small business, helping local schools, artists, nonprofits, and businesses with printing needs. Many of us have walked into the shop for a quick flyer or banner and left with not just a quality product—but a smile and a story. Debbie was instrumental in getting the shop officially designated as a "Bay Area Green Business."

In 1997, Debbie answered the call of ministry as a church secretary with joy and unconditional love, first at United Church in Cloverdale, and since 2007, at Ukiah United Methodist Church. Debbie is the first person you talk with or see during the week when interacting with the church. In addition to her church work, she has also served the Cloverdale community by lending her skills to the Senior Center, first on the Board and then as Treasurer.

Now, Debbie & Mike need our help.

Just recently, Debbie was diagnosed with breast cancer, and while the news is as positive as can be possible with such a diagnosis, the road ahead is tough. Between surgery, radiation treatments, doctors' appointments, and recovery time, she will be unable to maintain her work schedule of full-time print shop and part-time church employee.

Even with insurance, the medical bills are stacking up. Because of this, the future of the print shop—Deb & Mike's life’s work—is at risk.

We are raising $10,000 to:

  • Cover Debbie’s ongoing medical expenses not covered by insurance (the Shanahans will be responsible for at least half of the total cost!)
  • Help keep the print shop afloat while Debbie focuses on healing and Mike helps care for her
  • Support her family through this incredibly difficult time

Debbie has shown up for us, and loved us, over the years—now it’s our turn.

Any amount helps. Whether it's $10, $100, or even just sharing this campaign with your friends and family, your support means everything.

Let’s show Debbie and Mike that they are not alone, and that their community has rallied together on their behalf!

Thank you in advance for your love, your prayers, and your generosity.
