Help Andrea heal

Hi, we are Shirley Scott  and Joe Giard.  We are fundraising for Andrea Dicaire. She is a very dear friend who has a desperate health problem.  Andrea  is in great need of surgery to remove 3 growing cysts at the base of her spine. But she also has a serious blood disorder, Von Willibrands Disease 2N, which makes it impossible for blood to clot, so she cannot have surgery unless she is infused with the blood products that help her clot. It is a life and death situation for her and the only surgeons who do this surgery are in Texas or California.  Andrea is unable to work, has no income and is on Mass. Health, which insurance does not cover out-of-state procedures.  At this point she is in increasingly severe pain and without this surgery, she will be in unbearable pain, and her life is in danger.  Please consider helping this lovely person by donating to GoFundMe with whatever you can do to help. Please note that everything donated will be matched X1 up to $50,000. You may not know Andrea, but she is an amazing, beautiful person, with a lovely daughter and gifted son, and we have come to know and love them as family, and want to see them through this surgery as soon as possible.

Sincerely, and with heartfelt gratitude,

Shirley Scott and Joe Giard
