Donations for Linda (Gabe N Abby Mom)

Following up on Jan's (phoenixrising's) post updating us on Linda (Gabe N Abby Mom), I heard back from Linda's friend Lisa on the fund that's been set up to help with Linda's hospital and insurance expenses.

Lisa said that Linda and her family are in danger of losing their health insurance unless they can raise some money to pay for the premium, and of course there are daily copays for her stay in the hospital. Lisa sounds like such a blessing: She's held two yard sales so far to raise money for Linda, and is planning more.

I have the information for sending donations, either directly to the fund that's been set up or to Lisa -- if you'd like to donate, please send me a private message, and I'll be glad to give you the info.

In the meantime, Lisa will let Linda know we're all sending our love and prayers to her, and I'm sure we'll be hearing from Linda soon, once she's home from the hospital and feeling better.

    I just sent a donation as I heard back from Lisa too. My heart is so heavy tonight, but, the good news is that the scans look good. Linda, get well soon! And thanks so much Traci--you're a sweetie.

    The check is in the mail. Got the information on where to send it.

    Linda has always been very supportive to all our CSN sisters. Now it's our turn to give her a helping hand.

    Lots of Hugs,

    Traci and fellow Pinks... this is such a good work that you do on behalf of Linda and her family. It's such a hard and stressful time for the family. God bless them abundantly. Will send my contribution as well.

    I was wondering where on caring bridge one can donate to Linda, I only found where you can donate to support caring bridge in honor of Linda but not sending funds to Linda. IF you can direct me where on the page I can donate to Linda that would be great, thanks I appreciate it.

    My ...
    My check went out yesterday....Now I'm wondering if I should have just made it out to Linda's husband...instead of the " fund" ....have no idea if there will be tax liability for Linda's family on this ...good old IRS will probably want their cut come tax time....grrrrrrr....that's all they need! Any accounts in here? Just wondering...

    My sister sent a donation
    My sister sent a donation too on caringbridge site! She was very moved by Linda's story. And I think she understood that Linda is family to the Pink Warriors!

    Traci please forward info to me
    This is tough to read. Linda has been a pillar of strength and
    voice of compassion and reason for so many on this board. She
    went through so much without letting on to the rest of us the
    hell she was going through. She always put us first, didn't
    want to scare, discourage or even worry us. But worry we did.
    Little does she know how much we have come to rely on her
    words and her fearless leadership. I miss you with all my heart
    Linda.

    And while I can't help as much as I want to, I will do the
    best I can.

    You will be on my mind and in my heart till I hear again from you.

    Biiiig hug sister, you are very much missed and adored!

    CaringBridge donations
    Just want to clarify that donations made via CaringBridge go to CaringBridge in tribute to Linda - they do not go to Linda. She will get something that lets her know that you donated to CaringBridge in tribut to her. These donations are a good thing, but might not be what you intended.

    Can you please PM me her address? I was going to send it to the Caringbridge, but with the info, would rather send it straight to her.
