JULISA RODRIGUEZ
Many of you know Julisa, who has worked for us for over 15 years, always with an amazingly positive attitude and huge smile. She is a hard-working single mother who has supported her son and mother through childcare, cleaning, and managing cleaning teams for many of our neighbors in Ladera as well. She was diagnosed with cancer over two years ago, and was treated with excellent medical care by Stanford doctors. Her remission did not last, however, and she has been through chemo, radiation and immunotherapy over the past year, supported by many of you, her close family, and her incredible optimism and deep faith.
Julisa had a recent pet/PT scan that revealed the terrible news that the cancer has spread widely. Because no further medical treatment can resolve this, she is now in palliative care for the short time that doctors have said remains to her. Julisa describes herself as a hopeful person of faith. She remains hopeful and at peace at this time.
We would like to give Julisa the comfort of knowing that there is funding for her family and for her son Edwin’s education. He graduated from high school a year ago, and has been working hard to help support the family and continue Julisa’s cleaning services business during her illness. We will be mentoring him and helping him find the education he needs for a viable career. This is so very important to Julisa at this time, as you can imagine. Please show your support by donating to this fund that will provide financial security and education for Edwin and support for Julisa. She would never ask for anything, but we are asking for her.
And Julisa would love to hear from all of the people who care so much about her, so please write to her soon if you can.
With heavy hearts and many thanks,
Linda Fornaciari

I am updating all of you very generous donors as we work towards concluding our campaign to support Julisa and Edwin.
I want to clarify that the wonderful funds donated will be withdrawn into an account held by Julisa's sister, Yesenia Zavaleta (Jessie) who, at Julisa's request, will manage the use of the funds for the family and Edwin's education. I met yesterday with Julisa, who sends all of you her love and thanks, and with Jessie and Edwin.
I have great confidence in Julisa's choice of the person to manage the donations and account and want to thank all of you again for supporting Julisa and Edwin. Several of us will continue to work with Jessie and Edwin as he pursues his education.
Julisa’s famous smile was very apparent as she contemplates a great future for Edwin and thinks of all of you with love and gratitude. We have told her she does not need to thank each of you herself, since that would be a huge job at this time so please let us thank you for her. THANK YOU!
