Story
Unfortunately, Dorothy’s cancer has returned just six months after finishing her last chemo treatment. She had to undergo a full hysterectomy right before Christmas and now needs to get back in the ring to fight again. Dorothy needs to focus on healing and spending time with Julia. Let’s help with meals, chores, and all the little things so she can keep fighting strong! Dorothy is starting Chemo on Wednesday, January 29th and will continue through July. For now I was hoping we could help her out with meals twice a week (Saturday and Tuesday) and then can add other things to the calendar as she needs more help (Errands, Helping with Julia, potentially helping with her dog and whatever else that we can help her out with). I will post things as they come up. Together, we got this! Open to any and all suggestions on how to help Dor through this, if you have an idea don't be shy! Thank you all for your love and support!
