A few weeks ago, my mother and I came across an article that broke our hearts.

We read about Sue, a mother of two, who has been battling cancer and Crohns disease, leaving her unable to work and in debilitating pain. She has been forced to stop working, possibly for good, after spinal surgery, a double mastectomy, and an immune system reaction which left her with a constant high temperature and multiple allergies.

She has been left in dire financial straits due to many other unfortunate circumstances and we would like to help her reach a few little targets such as fixing her computer (her lifeline), glasses and being able to cover her bills.

We have the opportunity to speak with Sue and can say she is an amazing lady who will tell you how much she can be grateful for. She's not one to seek sympathy so this fundraiser has been generated on my own accord to help give Sue something to smile about.

Life is full of hard comings and that is something we will all face at some point and in some form. The one thing we can do, is open our hearts to others in times of need and shine beauty in what seems like dark times.
