To help Janice, Susie and Jamie Van Dusen…

Dear friends and family,

When you need help, often the first people to leap in are Janice, Susie and Jamie Van Dusen!!

While they are always happy to help others, asking for help is not something they would ever do…so I am going to do it for them!!

As Susie and Jamie have candidly shared, their mom Janice’s health has very quickly deteriorated. She is facing a very difficult cancer diagnosis with such courage and class. Just today, she was moved to the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice. This facility will give Janice and the family such compassion at a truly devastating time. Janice is grateful that she has a voice in her end of life care and is preparing to pass on her own terms.

I can see the stress that Janice’s wonderful children, my cousins Susie and Jamie, are under as they are starting to learn of countless upcoming expenses.

It is for this reason that I am very respectfully reaching out to start this GoFundMe page to invite your support if you are able to help Susie and Jamie offset some tough expenses in the weeks ahead. All funds raised will help the family celebrate Janice’s life and help with multiple upcoming costs.

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness. Janice is a special mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend to many. Thank you so much for honouring Janice and for helping Susie and Jamie. We are deeply grateful.
