"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." - Leo Buscaglia

Whitney from Whitney's Therapeutic Massage on Broad St. in Montoursville is the first person I thought of when I read that quote. Not only is she a wonderful massage therapist, but she has also become my friend. The service you receive when you are a customer of her shop goes beyond a business relationship, you really feel like part of the family and the community. Within the walls of her business, she welcomes other business owners to sell items, hosts community days to bring people to the streets, and is always trying to find ways to support her local community.

Friends, neighbors, customers, acquaintances, strangers, and anyone else this GoFundMe reaches...Whitney and her family need our help, and they need it now!

In case you don't follow her business page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/WhitneysTherapeuticMassages) you may not have heard, she is battling a mysterious and scary medical issue. She has been in and out of the hospital, seen doctors, and been out of work almost daily since around Dec 10th, 2022. Scott, her husband, has been alongside her as much as possible supporting her, so both have been without income most of this time. With a family & small business to support and no income coming in I am sure you can understand why they need our help.

I am asking anyone that can afford it to please donate to this GoFundMe and help keep this family focused on healing and help support one of our local small business owners in the process. If you cannot afford to donate, please share. Part of the greatness of our small town is how our community rallies behind its own when they need a helping hand. Let's show this family some love.
