<div>Our colleague and friend Cynthia Servetnick, AICP, urgently needs our help to raise funds for Hospice Care in a skilled nursing facility as soon as possible. Cynthia has progressing metastasized Stage 4 breast cancer that has spread into her spine and organs, including her pancreas. She is in excruciating pain, and requires 24/7 care.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She is currently back from MD Anderson in Houston and at UCSF hospital in San Francisco, where she is awaiting transfer into Hospice. Her choice is Coming Home Hospice in San Francisco, but she is looking throughout the Bay Area for potential placement.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Cynthia is now wheelchair bound and she cannot return to her apartment in San Francisco because she cannot enter it in a wheelchair. She needs accessible skilled nursing care now, 24/7 to manage her pain, and she needs our help.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Cynthia has spent her life standing up for communities.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now she needs her community to stand up for her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For decades, Cynthia, an architect and urban planner, has dedicated her career and volunteer work to protecting San Francisco’s beautiful historic places, strengthening community participation, and ensuring that residents have a meaningful voice in planning decisions, and making San Francisco more beautiful.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Many of us know her as a thoughtful, committed, and tireless advocate who has generously shared her expertise and energy with preservation, planning, neighborhood, and civic causes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Cynthia traveled to MD Anderson in Houston for cancer treatment after receiving care at UCSF, but they transferred her into a Houston skilled nursing facility. She finally got home to San Francisco with the help of a generous friend who flew out to meet her and flew her back -- but now she is in tremendous pain and requires 24/7 skilled nursing care, which her insurance does not cover and her fixed retirement income will also not cover.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She also needs funds for alternative health practitioners to continue her fight now that she has exhausted the best mainstream cancer treatments available.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please consider donating, sharing the fundraiser, or reaching out to colleagues who may know Cynthia through historic preservation, urban planning, architecture, public policy, San Francisco government, neighborhood advocacy, or civic leadership.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Even a small contribution or a thoughtful introduction can make a meaningful difference.

Help Cynthia Servetnick’s End of Life Expenses

<div>Thank  you to everyone who has donated thus far.  I truly appreciate all of your support.  Flo seems to be doing very well in her treatment.  She is getting rechecked in a couple of weeks. Hopefully all will be good.   All of the monies collected so far have gone towards all her veterinarian bills.  Thank you again, much love and happy holidays to everyone!!

Funds for Flo

As many of you know, my daughter Ludmila is a nine-year member of the U.S. Deaf Women's Volleyball National Team. Next summer, she will participate in her third and last Deaflympics, July 18-30, 2017 in Samsun, Turkey. She and her teammates earned the silver medal in 2009 in Taipei, Taiwan, and finished fourth, just out of medal contention, in 2013 in Sofia, Bulgaria.<br /><br />With several returning veterans and some promising newcomers, the U.S. National Team is going all out to bring home the gold in 2017. Its coaching staff, led by Lynn Ray Boren, has no peer anywhere in the world. The team has three tune-ups this year: the U.S. Open Volleyball Championships May 26-30 in Orlando, Florida; the PanAm Deaf Volleyball Regional Qualifiers<br /> July 1-4 in Washington, DC; and the World Deaf Volleyball Championships July 6-15, also in Washington, DC.<br /><br />In the next few months, each member of Team USA must raise $4,000 to cover travel expenses -- airfare, lodging, meals -- apparel, and the cost of training. It's a tall order, but Ludmila has done it several times already with the help of countless supporters, including YOU. She is very grateful to the many people who have supported her and her teammates time and again, and we thank you in advance for your continued support. Anything that Ludmila raises above her individual goal of $4,000 will help her teammates.<br /><br />On behalf of Ludmila and Team USA, THANK YOU!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br /><br />Robert Weinstock<br /><br />P.S. The photo of Ludmila above is by our friend, the enormously talented Tate Tullier. To book his photographic services, contact him at [email redacted].

Ludmila and USA Deaf Volleyball!
