Hi, my name is Vanessa and as most of you know, Shelly Bowman is my mother. Her partner, Donnie Farrar, was diagnosed in August of 2025 with a meningioma (brain tumor). On Friday, January 16, 2026, Donnie is scheduled to have brain surgery to remove the tumor.

Due to these unfortunate circumstances, I am reaching out to see if we can get them some help to cover costs of gas, food, and lodging due to them having to stay in the hospital while Donnie recovers. I do not know how long the stay will be and how long he will take to recover, but I do not want them worrying about finances. Any and all help would be appreciated and please keep them in your prayers as this is a major surgery.
