"Community is much more than belonging to something; it's about doing something together that makes belonging matter.”

When we see a fellow Dragon family who needs some extra love, our efforts together can be transformative in how they are able to face the challenges life has presented them. Today, if it’s a good time for your family, I am asking that you consider donating to these funding efforts as a way for us to uplift one of our families in need right now.

Medical diagnoses come with a high cost in every form, and the financial burden they create can be crippling. One of our families is facing a second round of cancer in their immediate family this year. Over summer there were high hopes that it was finally gone, only to find out that it had returned.

The funds raised will be given to the family to support them during this difficult time. We are aiming to raise $2,000 or more to help them cover medical bills and all the other usual costs of living that don’t go away during hardships. The treatments that they need to pay for are only partially covered by insurance, which is leaving a significant bill waiting for them after each one, and making ends meet has become harder and harder.

Let’s come together to make this part of their journey just a little easier. We're keeping their names confidential for privacy reasons and HIPAA concerns.
