(Tammy Rhyholm with her two daughters.)
Tammy is a loving, single mother of two teenage daughters who has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 metastasized melanoma in both of her lungs, and other parts of her body yet to be determined. The cancer Tammy has is incurable. The spread and growth of the cancer can only, hopefully, be slowed by costly medical treatments.
This year the Stittsville Lions Club is reaching out to you for a helping hand for Tammy at this difficult and challenging time in her life. She is not inclined to ask for help for herself. Tammy doesn’t have extended family in the province. She has no employment-related benefits or additional health coverage because she is a self-employed house cleaner. Therefore, Tammy will be responsible for paying out of pocket for some of the expenses and will need support when unable to work.
Your cheque made payable to the Stittsville District Lions Club will be greatly appreciated.
