I got the word last week that my cousin Rob's wife Casey had just been diagnosed with breast cancer, at age 33. They have two kids, 6 and 2 1/2; Casey is a nurse practitioner and Rob is an EMT. She's just had her preliminary appointments and will start chemo next week, then surgery. I knew that their budget all too soon wouldn't stretch to cover medical and other expenses, so asked if I could set up a fundraiser for them.
Their Facebook page is here, and this is their fundraiser - it has more details about them, and I'll post updates as they come in:

And then I thought it would be nice to offer an incentive to thank people for donating. So - as long as supplies last - for anyone who donates at least $18, I will mail a hardcover, signed copy of my novel A COLD AND LONELY PLACE. If you'd like to do this, just click "Give Now" up above and then send me a note telling me you donated, that you'd like the book and where you'd like it sent, and if you'd like the signature personalized. FYI, all funds donated go directly into Rob and Casey's account, minus the small percentage PayPal charges if you use a credit card (note: you don't have to have PayPal to donate). And no donation is too small - little bits add up, and all is appreciated. Thank you for reading. |
