Campaign Story
Sally Ann was diagnosed with Breast Cancer a few months ago. Good news is that it is "well behaved and slow growing". Her next treatments are to be in New Orleans at Oschner's Medical Center. They are done as outpatient but this means we have to stay in a hotel. The Hope Lodge is full but is helping us get a discount on motel. With taxes and fees it will still be over $100 per night. Plus we will need meals and travel expenses. We will do it, but will likely put us more in debt. There are many other expenses we have waiting for us including multiple repairs needed at out home & on vehicles. We would be grateful for any donations, even $1 donations
Skipper is going to have a couple of surgeries in the near future; cataracts, hiatal hernia, etc.
Thanks for your help - every bit helps a lot no matter how small or large.

For Sally Ann - I have known Sally Ann my entire life and my Mother traded at Carr's Grocery until the business closed. During WWII, Red Carr helped my Mother out with rations, You never forget random acts of kindness, A number of hotel/motels will give discounts for patients, etc. in hospitals. I was diagnosed 7yrs ago with breast cancer. Thankfully God blessed me and I am a survivor. Blessings to Sally Ann. LaDonna Landers
