I want to tell you about my girlfriend, Christine Wasson. Christine
is 50 and came into my life about three years ago after the death of
my wife. She has been an absolute rock in my life and a positive role
model to my children. Christine has spent most of her adult life
helping others. She is the Program Services Manager for a domestic
violence shelter here in Florida. She helps women and children at
their lowest point and always without judgment (a virtue I strive for
but haven't mastered it NEARLY as well as Christine!) She is an
absolute angel on earth.
Last month, she was diagnosed with breast cancer (Forgive me as
I am bringing myself up to speed with the lingo....DCIS) Because of a
history of cancer in her family, she has opted for the bilateral
mastectomy. Her dilemma is that, in working for a non-profit, she has
no health benefits and would have to pay out of pocket for any medical
services. Because of the wonderful work she does, the surgeon doing
the mastectomy has agreed to let her to make payments. The surgeon
has strongly suggested that she get the reconstruction done at the
same time. We are currently in the process of interviewing plastic
surgeons who will do a reconstruction and allow her to make payments
as well. Two surgeons, an operating room, pre-op blood work,
anesthesia and at least one night in a hospital all cost money. The
surgery has been scheduled for July 3rd.
In an effort to help her through this, I am organizing this fund
raiser. Most donations will go toward her medical and surgical costs,
as well as to living expenses should her recovery time exceed her PTO
time. If donations exceed total cost, we will donate anything left to
the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Please help me "Pay it Forward" for a woman who has made
this her life motto while she helps others.
