<div>One of our beloved in-home childcare providers here in Bend, <strong>Michelle Catanzaro</strong>, is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. Her 7-year-old son was recently diagnosed with <strong>Stage 3 Burkitt Lymphoma</strong>—an aggressive and fast-spreading cancer. It has already traveled extensively through his lymph nodes, and he will be undergoing intensive chemotherapy over the next 4–6 months at a hospital in Portland.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michelle and her family are pillars in our local community. They own and operate The Zone (a local food truck) and Little Bears Daycare, all while raising their twin 7 yr old sons. Zachary and his twin brother are 1st graders at Bear Creek Elementary. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This devastating diagnosis has not only turned their world upside down emotionally, but it has also brought an overwhelming financial burden.
</div>
<div>With ongoing medical bills, weekly travel and lodging expenses between Bend and Portland, and the challenge of maintaining their businesses and caring for their twin son, <strong>they need our help now more than ever.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s rally around the Catanzaro family. Whether it’s a donation, sharing their story, or simply sending love and support, every little bit counts during this unimaginable time. Thank you for being part of a community that shows up for each other.
