Mega-Raffle Fundraiser for Amy!

June 21, 2017 45 Comments

We are raffling off a dozen prizes (or more) in order to raise money for an extremely worthy cause.

Meet Amy

Amy is only 33 years old. She is a single mother of 2 beautiful children, 7 and 9 years old. Amy was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. It is stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The cancer is in her lymph nodes, as well as her liver and other organs. She has undergone over 8 chemo treatments to date and is fighting like hell to beat this disease. She's a wig-wearing superhero as far as we're concerned

Due to the pain, sickness, medical appts and procedures, Amy is unable to work and only has a few weeks of disability remaining before her job no longer will hold a position for her. Her disability will run out around the time this raffle ends. With more chemo scheduled, it's unlikely that she will be able to return to work. Donations are to help with bills and for her to spend time with her children building memories while she is still able to. She is putting up one hell of a fight and we would love to make sure financial struggle doesn't keep her from spending time with her young kids.
