We raised a total of $1375.00. Robert (Bunny) and his wife, Sarah arrived from Anchorage yesterday from his first round of chemotherapy. Perfect timing – just 15 minutes after Clarissa walked in the door from closing at the Public Market, Bunny and Sarah arrived. They were quite surprised, honored and humbled to receive this kind of support from (most of the) folks they don’t even know.
As many of us know, there are all kinds of “hidden” expenses for families undergoing cancer treatments (i.e. travel, food, household bills, etc.). Any funds a family receives is always a blessing. Again, thank you very much to all of you who contributed towards this fundraiser. In our Tlingit language: Gunalcheesh!
