This last September, my Aunt Barbara was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. After having lost two of her sisters over the last few years, 1 to breast cancer, the other to ovarian, she quickly underwent a double mastectomy and began chemotherapy treatments. Unfortunately, the Anderson family’s struggles haven’t stopped there.
In February, my Uncle Mike’s employer, Oregon City’s Blue Heron Paper Co., closed, leaving Mike jobless and without health benefits or his right to continue coverage through Cobra and pay the company’s portion of premiums. Fortunately, a bankruptcy judge has since intervened in the closing of the Heron Paper Co. and has requested severance pay and the right for employees to continue health insurance at their own expense.
Unfortunately, as many of you know, paying for health insurance without a job is extremely difficult, and the pressure that this family is dealing with as they seek the treatment that is needed is difficult to bear. The Vancouver Clinic has been helpful during this time of need, arranging for a drug company’s charity fund to cover one of the most recent chemotherapy treatments, and has been assisting Mike and Barbara in contacting several Washington drug-abatement programs to seek a reduced-cost for the other 52 needed chemotherapy treatments.
I would like to do something to offer both emotional and financial support, so in an effort to help ease the financial burden that my aunt and uncle are dealing with during this trying time, I am offering 3 days of mini-photo sessions (for up to four people). The session is $30 and with each session come two high-resolution images that can be used for printing up to an 8×10. Each additional high resolution photo is $25. Any packages ordered will be given a 25% discount from their regular price. ALL proceeds go toward the Anderson family.
Please consider helping this family by taking advantage of this offer and passing it along to your family and friends. Every dollar earned makes a difference for Barbara and her being able to receive the necessary treatment she deserves.
