Our beloved sister, aunt, and cousin Barbara, has been diagnosed with end-stage lung, brain, and pancreatic cancer and can no longer care for herself or her daughter, Polly. Her greatest wish is to spend her remaining days surrounded by family rather than in a facility. Where Things Stand Alice is in Ohio helping them prepare for the journey to Phoenix. Alice has arranged flights to bring them home to Phoenix on Feb. 6, where we can care for them with love. Before they leave, they'll meet with her oncologist to understand her prognosis and the time we have left together. After the appointment, we will gather the family on Zoom to share what they've learned and how we can support. How You Can Help Alice has covered the flight costs and is managing all arrangements. Here's how you can contribute: 💙 Financial Support - Help cover flights ($2000 total) | Zelle: (504) 206-7933 | Other options are to the right ---> 🍲 Meal Train - Sign up to send meals as they prepare for travel and once they arrive in Phoenix 💝 Other Ways - Send cards, share memories, offer respite care to give Alice a break, or keep them in your prayers Staying Connected We'll post updates here as often as we can. Treat this page as your source of truth. Alice is focused on Barbara's care and will not be able to call everyone individually, but this page will keep our family connected. As Barbara's Power of Attorney, Alice is managing her care with deep love and respect for Barbara's wishes and privacy. From Our Hearts Whether you contribute financially, send/bring a meal, or simply hold Barbara and Polly in your heart - every bit of love matters. Thank you. With love, Crystal
