UPDATED:<br /><br />Well guys, unfortunately I’m back with bad news that will require some more help from the community for our boy.<br /><br /> In February, Aaron had a clear CT scan.  Everything was great.  In June, he started getting swelling and pain in his throat and ear which got progressively worse.  In July, he got a new CT scan that showed new mass and a necrotized lymph node.  In August, it was confirmed that the cancer was back and he had feeding tube surgery.  (They put a little port in his belly.  I don’t know exactly how it works.  I am a bartender, not a doctor.)
<br /><br />This time, the doctors made a treatment plan to throw everything at him including:  immunotherapy, surgery, radiation, and possibly chemo. <br /><br />Today he’s having the following procedures:

bilateral neck dissection revision (remove remaining lymph nodes – most were removed in 2025 surgery); tracheostomy creation; tissue rearrangement (removal of mass and tissue surrounding mass); bone graft (from scapula) to reconstruct part of jaw to be removed. <br /><br /> All of these things sound like a death metal band name and are undoubtably not fun.
<br /><br /> He will be in the ICU probably three days, but his overall length of hospital stay depends on his condition.<br /><br />Post surgery he’ll continue his immunotherapy and radiation(and possibly chemo). We aren’t sure how long he’ll be on the feeding tube, but the formula is expensive.  We’re unsure of how much physical therapy he’ll need dependent on how much of his tongue is removed in surgery.  He will be out of work longer this time, and with even more medical bills than last time on top of losing pay <br /><br /> So, I am once again asking you to help out our buddy.  I’m raising the goal of this GoFundMe for that purpose, in hopes that we can get him what he’ll need as he goes through this as we find out more.  I don’t know an exact amount but I’ll start with 5k(which is maybe a fraction of his hospital stay) and go up as needed. I would have updated everyone before the day of surgery, but he didn’t want me to post anything until he was knocked out because he doesn’t like accepting things despite being one of the most giving and kindest people alive, so I’ve been waiting for a couple months before I make him mad. That’s what friends are for.  ‍♀️
<br /><br />Thank you so so much for all you’ve given last year and any you may give again this time around.  It’s extremely frustrating that the cancer returned in less than a year.  I’ll be making updates again as I get them.<br /><br /> Kloveyoubye

Aaron Fautz Cancer Recovery

<div>Hi - I’m Paul. I never thought I would have to start a Go Fund Me, but 2024 has been a very rough year so far. Thank god for voice-to-text, or I never would have been able to write this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s the <em>long story short</em> version: After a series of other setbacks, I was diagnosed with a rare, serious autoimmune disease that has left me unable to work and largely unable to function. My recovery will be long and slow, and I might not fully recover. Resources have run too thin. Disability might be an option, but it could take years if I even qualify. Because of that, we’re at a point where we can’t meet our expenses even after cutting back and being frugal. We need help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is the longer version with all the details:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After 10 years I lost the job I thought I would retire from. Then I poured everything I had - physically, mentally, and financially - into starting my own business. I was having successes and building momentum. Then we had some unexpected medical issues. During <em>those</em> challenges, our water heater burst, flooding the basement with over 70,000 gallons of water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then I had a routine doctor’s visit on August 23rd. He said I was in overall good health but wanted to give me a pneumonia vaccine, just in case. I said sure, why not.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About a week later, I woke up on September 1st with my feet asleep. Over the next few days, things kept getting worse. The numbness traveled up my legs. My hands went numb and started to hurt. My arms went numb. I could no longer walk normally. I couldn’t type. I couldn’t sleep. Finally, it drove me to the emergency room where they did a bevy of tests - MRIs, CT scans, bloodwork, etc.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It looked like back issues – bulging discs and such - so I made an appointment with my spine surgeon and left the ER with high hopes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One week later, things had gotten way worse, and I was back in the ER in excruciating pain with facial paralysis added to my growing list of symptoms. I was convinced I was having a stroke. More tests and scans later, there was no sign of a stroke, and nothing to indicate that my back had gotten worse. They gave me some drugs and assured me that my spine surgeon should be able to help at my upcoming appointment. Things only got worse over the next week and a half.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At my spine doctor appointment, he reviewed all of the MRIs and CT scans with me and said:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>”There is nothing that requires intervention - you don’t need surgery or anything.”</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He asked me about the history of my symptoms. When I explained to him that prior to my neck surgery in 2019, it took nine months for things to get really bad, he asked me how long these problems had been going on. It was September 24th, so I did the math...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Abut three weeks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s how long it had taken for everything to become worse, more painful, and more widespread than in 2019. I woke up one day with numb feet and just three weeks later I was basically unable to function.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He asked if I had been sick or gotten any vaccines recently, and I told him about the pneumonia vaccine on 8/23. He thought for a minute and said: “<em>This sounds like Guillain-Barré syndrome. If it gets worse, or if you start having any trouble breathing, go to the ER.</em>”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Later that night, the pain was the worst it had ever been and I started to have trouble breathing. I was an absolute mess of tears as we went off to the emergency room for the third week in a row.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and more bloodwork, the diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome was confirmed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain-Barr%2525252525C3%2525252525A9_syndrome" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Guillain-Barré syndrome</a> is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the peripheral nervous system, causing numbness, pain, muscle weakness and other problems. Left untreated it can lead to paralysis and even death. There is no cure, but there are treatments. Some people recover, but there are no guarantees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After a series of treatments and a week in the hospital transitional care unit, there were some minor improvements. Some of the numbness in my legs receded, but I still can’t feel anything below my ankles. The numbness, pain and discomfort remains in my hands and arms, but it’s more manageable. They sent me home after a week because there is only so much they can do in the hospital.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am still in excruciating pain, and my hands and feet remain numb as bricks. I cannot walk without a cane, and even then I cannot walk long distances. I cannot stand for long periods, and I cannot sit for long periods. I wear out very easily and am constantly fatigued, requiring way more sleep than is typical. I still have difficulty sleeping though. I have lost the majority of my fine motor skills and dexterity. I have very limited grip strength, and there is significant weakness in my arm and leg muscles. I need a lot of help. Each day, the majority of my energy goes into just existing, and the fatigue is constant. There’s no way to tell how long my recovery might take. It could be months or years, and there’s a chance I’ll never fully recover.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I can’t work because I can’t stand or sit or type or talk for long enough to accomplish anything, and the business I had been working so hard to build has essentially crumbled.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why I’ve created this fundraiser. As much as I would like to believe that we can shoulder this on our own, we cannot. Our resources have run very thin. Everyone asks what they can do to help, and right now, this is the help we need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money will be used in several ways. I have good insurance, but there will be things it does not cover. I've already got a ton of follow up appointments, and I’ll need occupational and physical therapy eventually. The mental strain will require therapy too, but my therapist doesn’t take my insurance. I will be in and out of a lot of medical professionals' offices in the coming months and years. We don't know what we'll end up having to pay for out of pocket, so covering any direct medical expenses will be the biggest priority.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Covering other, related expenses like assistive equipment, mobility aids, etc. will be the next priority.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ll use some of the money to help cover everyday living expenses. My inability to work puts us in a serious financial strain. I might qualify for disability, but that takes months or sometimes years to work through the system. We don’t have that kind of time. Even cutting expenses and being extremely frugal only goes so far.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything helps and will be so very greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for helping. I will post regular updates, and if you want to reach out, please do.

<div>This GoFundMe is to support our friends Gretchen and Derek and their two young children as this sweet family reels from a second cancer diagnosis (stage 4 metastatic breast cancer) only 9 months after the first (childhood leukemia).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>December 2023: little R celebrated her third Christmas with her parents D and G, enjoying being a big sister to baby H who was then only a month old. A few days later, R was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>January 2024: Still very much in a tender postpartum period, G and D and baby H lived in a tiny hospital room with R for the entire month of January. This intensive inpatient phase of R’s leukemia treatment was a dizzying swirl of pokes, prods, and punctures, including the installation of a port for her to receive chemotherapy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They were able to return home in February and outpatient treatment has been ongoing all spring and summer. Thankfully, R will soon enter the final phase of chemo before she goes into maintenance, and treatment has been going as smoothly as can be expected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>September 2024: In the midst of addressing significant foundation/structural issues with the BB fam house, we received the terrible news that R's mother, Gretchen, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Within a week of her diagnosis and following a number of tests, it was found to have metastasized to her liver and sternum meaning we are dealing with Stage IV breast cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Needless to say, this is a real blow and the Bailey-Burkes need all the support they can get. The home they purchased in May 2023 requires extensive foundation repairs, an unforeseen expense that was not caught in the initial home inspection. The estimate of the initial work just to stabilize the house is around $100,000. This does not include many other costs like reconstructing the front porch and back deck, which must be removed to address the foundation, as well as then also refinishing the basement. The house has shifted so much that the front door is difficult to open and close. As the foundation of their happy (first) home literally shifts beneath their feet, the rug has been pulled out from under them by this second cancer diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone for your support up to this point. It is a wonderful feeling to see the BB fam surrounded by such a compassionate and strong community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating to help Gretchen and Derek as they move into this new stage of not only continuing to care for little R during her treatment process but also supporting G as she begins her own cancer treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount is appreciated, and we are grateful for the emotional support and labor of those surrounding the BBs. We thank you again for all of your supportive actions and energy, and for accompanying us through these very challenging times.
</div>

Bailey-Burke family vs. Double Cancer

<div>Family and friends, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Amanda LeMay Newman. A loving daughter, sister, mother, and friend, she peacefully departed on the morning of September 11th, 2023, surrounded by her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amanda, who possessed a heart of gold and was genuinely one of the kindest individuals in the world, was deeply cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her. She had a smile that could illuminate any room, an infectious laugh, and the ability to befriend any soul. Her compassion, caring nature, and sheer joyfulness endeared her to everyone she encountered. She will be dearly missed by those she leaves behind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund will assist her family with any medical, memorial, or other expenses that may arise. Please consider making a donation to support John, Jackson, and Mason. You are also welcome to leave a comment sharing your fond memories of our beloved daughter, sister, mother, and friend.

Family Memorial Support

<br /><br />
<p>No one knows your child better than you and if your gut tells you something is wrong, don't give up on getting the care your child needs. While I have prayed that my gut was wrong and that we would only need to see a GI specialist as recommended, that has not been the case. My husband Greg and I made numerous visits to the doctors office only to be told every time that our son, Trey, had a viral infection. 
</p><br /><br />
<p>On March 7th, after many attempts to get someone to take our concerns seriously about our son's health, someone finally did. While I wish I never had to face something like this, our little boy, Gregory Lowman III (Trey), was diagnosed with a tumor covering over half of his precious brain. Our baby is only two. Nothing can ever prepare you for the amount of pain, stress, fear, and anxiety a diagnosis like this can cause. 
</p><br /><br />
<p>After an intensive 7 hour surgery, unfortunately the road ahead is still uncertain and a long path to recovery. His ongoing medical needs, chemotherapy, and care will be more than we can manage alone. The fear, pain, heartache, and stress are unimaginable, but I am finding strength through Trey. 
</p><br /><br />
<p>Trey is full of life, love, and lights up every room with his big personality. He has been incredibly strong and brave through it all. Knowing how strong he has been gives me strength. He is resilient and his journey has just begun. 
</p><br /><br />
<p>Many have reached out to see how they can help. I wish I knew but unfortunately we have a lot to work through the next 72 hours. They say it takes a village and lord knows we will need help to get through this. There is still a lot we don't know yet, but we do know we will need continuous prayers, love, and support. We are grateful to the doctors, nurses, clergy, down to the frontline workers who have worked around the clock to help our family during this difficult time! To our family, friends, and everyone who has kept us in their thoughts and prayers, we thank you!

Grey For Trey-Fighting ATRT Brain Cancer  

<div>Amelia Preston is Louisville’s best friend. If you’ve met her, you know exactly what we mean, because there are few people quite as reliable and caring. In 25 years, thousands of people have connected with Amelia while sitting in her stylist chair. Her stunning talent as a self-employed cosmetologist attracted loyal clientele that have stayed with her for decades in her hometown, Louisville, Kentucky, and in New York City, to which she regularly commutes for work. But it’s the compassion, support, and sage advice that she generously offers anyone in need that has built a fiercely loyal community around her. We need that community to come to Amelia’s aid now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While Amelia is whip smart and tough as nails, she’s been under significant stress in recent years as she’s coped with a string of terrible circumstances. For both Amelia and her partner Louie, this includes suffering from long COVID, which has robbed Amelia of her olfactory senses and significantly damaged Louie’s heart. The pandemic strained their finances due to shutdowns and illness recovery time. Sadly, she now has an even more formidable challenge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In mid-February, Amelia was rushed to the hospital with what seemed like a ruptured appendix. Instead, she was diagnosed with colon cancer after the surgeon removed her ascending colon and much of the surrounding lymph nodes and tissue. Though doctors initially indicated that she was in stage 3, Amelia received the crushing news on March 2 that her cancer is actually in stage 4, as cancer has affected her lymph nodes near her pancreas and liver.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we post this on Wednesday, March 8, Amelia has been admitted to the hospital, where a surgeon will remove her gallbladder while installing a chemo port. If the surgeon can also remove the lymph nodes near the liver, there may be a path to curative treatment. If not, Amelia’s cancer team will turn to aggressive, long shot measures in which luck will play a primary role in saving Amelia’s life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, we must wait. While doing so, let’s focus on what we can control by coming to her aid. Amelia has a reputation as someone who works tirelessly to make sure that her community, friends, family, and even strangers are cared for. No matter how you know Amelia, you know that she has invested in this community by investing in all of us one by one. While it’s absurd that anyone would have to lean on friends for help with expenses when just trying to stay alive, we all know that’s the world we’re living in now. As her bills mount, let’s return the favor that Amelia would unquestionably grant any of us by donating to her, even if it’s just a small amount.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong><em>Testimonials</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Heather Dodds</strong>
</div>
<div>Amelia is like an aunt to my kids. She's been so supportive of my oldest as they've been working through their gender identity. She was also one of my dear friends who stepped up to help us stay in our house with our kids when a tragedy happened.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Hannegan Roseberry</strong>
</div>
<div>Amelia is one of the smartest, fiercest, talented, passionate, and compassionate people I know. She’s wicked sharp, hilarious, and an amazingly gifted artist and human being. I’m so grateful to have gotten to know Amelia over the years and I hope she kicks cancer’s ass.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Erin McMahon</strong>
</div>
<div>I’m proud to call Amelia a friend for so many reasons, not the least of which is her deep care for other people. She is affirming, supportive, dependable, and always ready to lend an ear. She has done so much to care for so many people, and now it’s our turn to care for her however we can.
</div>

<div><strong>Lauren Kelty</strong>
</div>
<div>Two years ago, when I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, I knew exactly who was going to shave my head; I knew that she would take care of me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amelia invited me into her space at peak Covid (all the precautions of course), and she allowed my best friend, son, and partner to be there. I will never ever forget her putting her hand on my shoulder during a time that no one was touching anyone. She did not have to say a word, she seemed SO strong, SO caring—she was exactly who I needed in this situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amelia suggested that maybe my 9-year-old son should be the one to shave my head—a way for him to process and have some control during an insanely scary time. After some instruction to my son on how to use the clippers, he began shaving my head. As he went in, and huge chunks started falling onto the floor, it really hit me. I stared into the mirror, with Amelia behind me. I looked right at her reflection, and she looked at mine. I stared at her the whole time, to focus, to ground myself. She never took her eyes off me, and she kept me together, she kept me from falling apart. Before I walked into her salon that day, I thought I had processed this. Sure, it was fucked up that I was going to lose my 2’ long hair, but it’s just hair, right? In any situation — the good, the bad, the break-up hair, getting bangs, getting cancer — it’s never just the hair. It is so much more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Josie F.</strong>
</div>
<div>Amelia’s an amazing friend and one of the most upstanding and kind people I’ve ever met. She did my hair through the early years of my gender transition and her support helped me discover and find power in myself. Kindness and love for humanity shines through in everything she does.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Eirlys</strong>
</div>
<div>Amelia took me in when I was 17. Despite not knowing me or really anything about me, she raised me into the person I am today. I come from a family with a history of neglect and abuse; my birth mom abandoned me by the age of 16, leaving me homeless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Upon learning about my situation, Amelia paid for a flight and set up a room for me in her own home. She paid for my food and new clothes for the winter season and then put a roof over my head. She even reached out to my birth mom several times with paperwork for her to sign that would allow Amelia to authorize doctors to save my life or treat me in case of emergency. Amelia saved my life, and she has done it countless times for me and so many others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amelia let me stay until I was prepared to be on my own shortly before I turned 19. Even after I moved out, Amelia always did anything and everything she could to help me. She's helped me make sure I kept my lights on in times I've struggled financially, provided excellent resources for physical and mental health care, helped me navigate difficult situations, and has just overall been an amazing support system for me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I love Amelia with all of my heart as if she was actually my biological mother. She is the strongest woman I know and I look up to her so much. The idea of losing my mom is terrifying.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Suzie M.</strong>
</div>
<div>In 2020, I had one of the darkest times of my life, and it happened to be an experience Amelia also shared. She didn’t have to reach out to me, but she did. I didn’t think I would make it through at the time, but her perseverance helped me get the help I needed. She even referred me to a therapist who saved my life and continues to see me to this day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Liz Palmer</strong>
</div>
<div>Years ago, trauma was destroying my mental health, and it felt extremely unsafe to talk about it. Amelia and I had not known each other long, but one day while in her styling chair, I found myself sharing my story. Her ability to make others feel safe in her presence is uncanny — and just what I needed. As my situation developed over the next few years, she became one of my most trusted confidants; miraculously, she always understood every twist in my story with perfect clarity almost before the words left my mouth. In the darkest time of my life, one that I wasn’t always sure if I could survive, she helped pave my path to recovery. Her impact is everywhere I look, as so many people, especially women and those struggling with their identities, have a similar story. Amelia is a radiant light in this community that must continue to shine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Melanie Martin</strong>
</div>
<div>I could write nearly a dozen pages on all of the wonderful qualities Amelia embodies. I could go into great detail, with examples, on how her comedic delivery is always on point; I could entertain you with some of her absolutely legendary, witty clap-backs; I could marvel at her ability to find common ground and engage pretty much ANYONE in a conversation or the way she enhances every situation, no matter how dull or awkward. Those qualities, and many more, make her one of the most fascinating and memorable people anyone will ever have the privilege of meeting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, the true essence of Amelia’s character lies in more substantive qualities. Words alone could never adequately describe what an amazing, genuine, and important person Amelia is – not just to me, personally, but to our community. To know her is to love her and to be inspired by her. Amelia is the kind of person who just inspires you to be better — a better listener, a more supportive partner, a more thoughtful friend, a more understanding human. She inspires people to see things from others’ perspectives, to hold themselves accountable, and make their personal growth and self-improvement a priority.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most importantly, Amelia inspires people to act selflessly when friends and family are in need. I cannot tell you how many times she has gone out of her way, without being asked, to help me in my personal life, regardless of what is going on in her own life. Amelia has been known to take on more than she should handle by herself, even though she can because she is so strong and so thoroughly committed to the people she loves. Even on a professional level, most people who walk into Amelia’s salon know that once they sit down in that chair, Amelia is going to make them a priority and they are going to leave feeling better than when they walked in, even if they felt pretty okay to begin with.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The energy Amelia chooses to spend on other people’s well-being is endless and she so rarely asks for anything in return. As a close friend of Amelia for nearly eleven years, her support and generosity have been so great that I feel indebted to her. I do not believe I could ever be the kind of friend that she is to me, but I will never stop trying! I want to be the kind of friend that Amelia is.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In fact… a mutual friend of ours long ago instituted what I consider to be an official holiday:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>“Be more like Amelia B. Preston Day.”</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To be honest, I do not think one day out of the year is enough. We all need to be more like Amelia B. Preston every day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Terri Whitehouse</strong>
</div>
<div>Like many people, I knew Amelia through the grapevine years before officially meeting her. In our time spent together, mostly me in the chair, we have laughed, gotten vulnerable, and kept it real. Amelia personifies integrity and generosity. To say that she is fearless is an understatement — her commitment to her strong values is an inspiration. Amelia's capacity for empathy and kindness in the face of the cruelty and absurdity of life is admirable. She is the most righteous and radical woman I know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Zechariah Harvey</strong>
</div>
<div>My haircut from Amelia has been, so far, the only gender-affirming care I’ve really allowed myself. But after the first haircut, it was like I could see an entirely different person in the mirror, that I could be that entirely different person in the mirror. And it’s because I know she could see them first.
</div>

Housefire Leaves Family Of 6 Homeless

I am starting this fundraiser for Jyn Yates, to help her financially with her surgery and the healing process that will follow it. If you've had the fortune of knowing Jyn, then you have probably seen the details of the spinal cord surgery that she is having on Wednesday, Dec 2.   I'm sure, like me, you've wondered if there was anything you could do to help Jyn out during this time.  I decided the best thing that we could all do, is help her out with some of the expenses that are sure to come from this surgery and the loss of income while she heals. <br /><br />If you're here, chances are Jyn has brought joy, laughter, and music to your life. Maybe you have played music with Jyn, taken a drum lesson with her, or just been in the audience listening to her incredible talent.  She is a true artist, song writer, musician and I am looking forward to her getting back to the thing she was born to do, making music and sharing it with the world.

Support for Jyn Yates

Help us amplify Louisville student journalism!

*These donations are to support the student Journalism program at Stoneman Douglas High School.<br /><br />To many people, a yearbook is simply pictures bound in a hard cover. But it is so much more. A yearbook is a piece of history. It is something that you can hold for hours, flipping through pages, reading and reliving memories. It tells the story of the year. <br /><br />For the students of Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, the story of their year will forever be impacted by this one tragic day. The beloved members of their Eagle family lost, will forever be in their memory. <br /><br />We can’t make that day disappear. We can’t pretend it didn’t happen. We CAN fill their hearts with the support of their journalism family. <br /><br />By donating, join your fellow journalism staffs from across the country showing solidarity in this difficult time while encouraging The Aerie and Eagle Eye staffs to finish their year STRONG.

In early June, Leslie was diagnosed with Stage 3, triple negative breast cancer that has metastasized to her lymph nodes. <br /><br />We have contracted with a local personal chef who is both a nutrition and culinary expert. She will provide weekly, healthy, fresh meals designed specifically for the needs of Leslie’s body during treatment. The rough cost is $200 per week, so we are increasing the fundraising goal on the Go Fund Me site to try to cover the cost through the 12 weeks of the doxorubicin (Red Devil) portion of the chemo. This should begin in September and continue through mid-December.<br /><br />For  more information, please visit <a href="http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/lesliebowers"><a href="http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/lesliebowers" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/lesliebowers</a><br /><br /></a>
