cheri lovell hasn't added a story.
For a decade, Cheri Lovell has been fighting the dual challenges of both MS and Ovarian Cancer, consistently beating the odds with her tough will to survive and outliving doctor's predictions. I am her friend Valerie, a cancer survivor myself, and this fall I walked in the Jimmy Fund Boston Marathon to raise money for cancer research and gave Cheri my medal. In May, Cheri fell and broke her hip and her arm and after leaving the hospital she went straight into rehab with only the items she had at the time. Her belongings were packed away into storage by friends and her winter clothing has not been located.She hasn't even seen her beloved cat Schmoopsie in all this time and struggles to get well enough to get out of rehab and into assisted living.
The winter is Wisconsin is nothing to joke about, so imagine facing it with the clothes you hastily packed in May? So far, I have gotten her some warm leggings, gloves and a scarf and The Cat Hospital is donating a wonderful fleece with their logo on it (she's wearing their hat in the photo). She has a Wish List that includes only basic things like socks and undergarments, some shoes, slippers, sweatshirts, sweaters, warm shirts - things we all need to face the cold. Right now she wraps herself in a blanket for the frequent trips in the van to the medical center for tests and oncology appointments.
A donation in any amount to help fulfull Cheri's warm clothing Wish List would be the very kind of generosity that this season of giving is ultimately all about. Cheri is the face of a real person who has fought long and hard and only reluctantly asks for help from others. Please help me try to give the most basic gifts of warmth and comfort to my friend. With utmost gratitude, we thank you.
