My dear friend, former co-worker, and "cancer buddy," Cheryl Panian, was taken from us far too soon. At just 42 years old, and after three remissions, a very recent discovery changed everything and marked the beginning of her hardest fight. Within hours a tragic turn of events left her family and all who loved her completely shattered. With extraordinary bravery and unwavering strength, Cheryl fought a very rare cancer—leiomyosarcoma- for seven and a half years. Her courage throughout that journey was nothing short of remarkable. Her husband and soulmate, Frankie Panian, is now navigating life as a single dad to Desi. I'm hoping we can come together to support them during this incredibly difficult time with grocery gift cards to the stores Frankie shops at, helping him to be able to prepare healthy meals at home . Frankie enjoys cooking and finds solace in it. If you're able to help, it would mean so much. Every little bit helps.Please consider sharing this post so we can reach a broader audience. Most of all, please keep Frankie, Desi, and the entire family in your thoughts and prayers.
We are recommending Care Cards, which are found on this site. This gives Frankie the flexibility to choose what his family needs most. Care Cards can be redeemed in the Give InKind Wallet for gift cards from 200+ retailers, or easily converted to a Visa gift card (with no fees ) that can be used at grocery stores he regularly shops at, including Weis, Acme, ShopRite, and Walmart. This allows Frankie to purchase groceries locally and prepare healthy meals. These cards are sent electronically. This means they are sent directly to Frankie via email notification within 24 hours of purchase. There is an area for a brief message to be left for Frankie & Desi along with your gift notification. Care (gift) Cards can be grouped together by Frankie through this website to create a larger card wherever he chooses to shop. There are no fees for the gift cards, unless you choose to have a physical plastic gift card (Visa) sent along with an actual card containing a personalized message delivered via mail.
