<div>Karen is a wife to Ken, a mom to two incredible children, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a doctor, a hiker, a cross country skier, a runner and many other remarkable things. She was tragically diagnosed with ALS about 1.5 years ago and sadly it has progressed very rapidly. She continued to work as a psychiatrist in our rural community up until a few months ago, helping people with their problems while knowing she had a life limiting illness.
</div>
<div>She is a private person and has kept her diagnosis quiet to protect her 2 sweet children.
</div>
<div>She was denied adequate life insurance due to a pre-existing issue before her diagnosis. She has made very few requests of anyone throughout this battle, but has agreed to this fund raising effort for her family. 
</div>
<div>She is in the final throws of this terrible disease and I would love to bring her some peace knowing that her family will be ok financially. Thank you for considering donating to the Pistak Family.

Bringing peace to Karen's battle with ALS

<div>Kim, Sean and Evan Cairns are members of our Blueridge community. Kim is an active volunteer with the BPAC, and Evan is in grade 3 at Blueridge Elementary. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A few weeks ago, they received the terrifying news that Evan needed emergency surgery to remove a brain tumour. Surgeons successfully removed the medulla blastoma tumour, and thankfully the cancer had not spread. The best cure rates for this type of tumour are achieved through proton beam radiation and chemotherapy. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Cairns family will head to Seattle on July 1st for 6 weeks of aggressive treatment for Evan. Thankfully, BC MSP covers the cost of this treatment which is not available in Canada. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our community is gathering together to help cover the cost of accommodation, travel, food and lost income for Kim and Sean as they focus on Evan’s health away from home. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your love and support!

Cancer Treatment for 9 Year Old Evan

Your love, prayers, and positive energy have lifted this family up and given them the strength to keep fighting Bree’s cancer. We had hoped we wouldn’t have to, but we are now asking for immediate financial support as Bree’s treatment in Canada is not working and a newly approved drug in Bellingham, Washington is her last hope for beating this very aggressive form of breast cancer.   <br />  <br />  <br />The drug, which is currently only available in the US, is extremely expensive and is not covered by any medical plan. Bree has been approved to begin receiving this drug and needs to start this life saving medicine as soon as possible, so we are under a significantly tight timeline to raise enough money to get her started.  <br />  <br />The past year has been tough for many of you so we deeply appreciate any amount you can contribute.  <br />  <br />Bree’s Cancer Journey  <br />  <br />On November 18, 2019, at the young age of 35, Breanne (Bree) Jordan was diagnosed with Stage 3C Triple Negative Breast Cancer – one of the most aggressive and difficult to treat types of breast cancer.  <br />  <br />Bree and Steve found one of the best oncologists in Vancouver, who helped Bree immediately begin chemotherapy. The first few treatments went smoothly, and the results initially looked promising. However, the secondary type of chemotherapy required for this specific breast cancer was not effective and Bree’s cancer began to rapidly grow back.   <br />  <br />Bree’s doctors stopped the ineffective chemotherapy and conducted an emergency mastectomy on April 14, 2020, to remove the growing tumor. Bree opted for an aggressive axillary node dissection in order to give herself the best chance of removing all of the cancer. As soon as she was healed from her surgery, Bree underwent twenty-five rounds of radiation. It was an exhausting spring, physically and emotionally, but Bree and Steve remained hopeful. In July, Bree’s PET scan showed no evidence of disease. Bree, however, was not willing to take any chances of her cancer returning and started taking oral chemotherapy to lessen her chances of a recurrence even further.   <br />  <br />Bree went into her next PET scan in October 2020 with renewed hope for a clean bill of health. Sadly, Bree and Steve were devasted to learn the scan showed evidence of disease in lymph nodes on the opposite side of Bree’s neck, deeming her cancer Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. Through the diligence of her oncologist, Bree was able to receive an immunotherapy trial drug on a compassionate basis. However, after three months of immunotherapy, Bree’s most recent PET scan on February 17, 2021 showed progression of the disease to other areas of her body. Bree’s doctors have exhausted all treatment options available in Canada.   <br />  <br />This is where we now desperately need your help. Bree’s oncologist has recommended a new drug that has shown positive results for patients with Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer that has not responded to other lines of treatment. This drug was approved last year in the US by the FDA but has not yet been approved in Canada. Receiving medical treatment in the US is extremely costly for foreigners, we don’t want lack of funding to prohibit Bree from receiving the treatment that she so desperately needs.  <br />  <br />Bree is undeniably a fighter. She has faced her cancer battle with unfaltering determination. She has everything to live for: Steve, her amazingly supportive and loving husband of six years (though, they’ve been together for 12), and Levi, their adorable 3-year-old son who is the absolute love of her life. Bree is an extraordinary human being and a devoted wife and mother. All she wants to do is watch her son grow up. Bree said herself, “Having cancer is just unacceptable. I have a baby to raise and a whole life to live.”  <br />  <br />Please help us remove this financial barrier for Bree and Steve, by donating any amount you can. Every little bit helps. Even taking the time to share Bree’s story on your social media would be a help to her and her family.  <br />  <br />Thank you all for the love and support you've shown Bree and Steve over this past year. We can't thank you enough.

Help Bree Jordan Fight Breast Cancer

<p>At 2:30 am on June 11, 2018 some of the buildings caught on fire in Mountain Village Garden Apartments complex in Lynn Valley. Fortunately, everyone got out alive except my friends 7-year old brother (Sepehr Koshkoye Delshad) and his mother (Narges Casnajad) who sadly couldn’t escape from their place:(
</p>

<p>I'm making this page to raise money to cover their funeral expenses for their lost ones being his mother and younger brother. Also to help them rebuild their lives. I know that nothing is going to bring them back but thats the least we can do for them.
</p>

<p>Please donate and support them it would mean very much to them. My prayers are with you, each and everyone who lost their homes in the fire and got hurt. Thank you, everyone.<br /><br /><a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/4266224/apartment-fire-north-vancouver/">See the full story on Global news</a>
