I have started this page to help such a wonderful friend get through this tough stage in life! I have worked with Cindy for 14 years! I consider Cindy and Dale family! Cindy is such a strong individual. She always puts everyone first before herself. She is kind and loving and she will always be there for you. It’s time for us to all show up and be there for her! I ask you kindly to sign up and help in anyway you can by donating gift cards for them to eat, gift cards for groceries or simply a home cooked meal as they both will be extremely exhausted on this journey together!
