Hi there! On June 9th, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 2 (almost Stage 3) colon cancer. If you know my mom, you know she’s ready to fight — and of course, we’ve got her back every step of the way! She’s scheduled for surgery in Lafayette on July 14th, and we anticipate she’ll be in the hospital until at least July 18th. We’ve created this page as a meal train to help with prepared food deliveries and food gift cards (for her + her caregiver for the day) while she’s home recovering over the next month. While her recovery is estimated to take about six weeks, we’re starting with a shorter window and may extend it later if needed. We truly appreciate anything you choose to give, but please note that Mom would really prefer ready-to-eat prepared meals or food and grocery gift cards — no need to cook from scratch for her! Thank you all so much for your love, kindness, and support.
