Dear Friends and Family,

I am writing to you today to ask for your help and support for a dear friend of mine Donna Jones (Howie) who has recently been diagnosed with cancer for the third time. This is a difficult time and overwhelming for her, and I want to do everything I can to help Donna get through it.

As you can imagine, a cancer diagnosis comes with a significant financial burden. My friend is facing not only medical expenses but also loss of income as she is not able to work, as well as other expenses during this challenging time. Any amount, no matter how big or small, would be greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping Donna.

My friend is one of the strongest and most resilient people I know, and I have no doubt that she will fight this with everything she has. But she cannot do this alone. Your support and generosity will not only help her financially but will also provide her with the emotional support she needs to get through this.

Thank you for considering my friend during this difficult time. Please share this page with anyone who you think might be willing to help.

Sincerely,

Julie Priddle

Donna and I have grown up together and are very close friends.

Use of funds

The money will be used to access therapies alongside her chemotherapy, such as acupuncture, supplements, remedial and lymphatic massage. It will allow Donna to spend quality time with her family without the overwhelming financial stress and worry.
