Fort Hood Hug Lady Medical Bills

Donation protected
Elizabeth Laird is the IIICorps Hug Lady, she has met almost every deployment and redeployment flight from Fort Hood to the Sand Box since the war started in 2003. She feels that her Family in Camo needs to know that some one here at home is interested and waiting for them to come home again. It's estimated that over the span of 12 years she has hugged close to 500,000 troops. Elizabeth knows that her Lord has given her this mission, to give smiles, hugs and love to all of her troops. Since 2005 she has been battling breast cancer, after 10 years she has come to the point that the cancer is wearing her down. She has been in the hospital for 5 days and she has been told that she can't live alone any longer and she will need to go into a assisted care facility. Elizabeth will be 84 in January 2016. If you are able to help any thing will be appreciated.
I     I need to add more information to this campaign discription. I am Richard Dewees, I am Elizabeth Laird's son, I live in Copperas Cove  since January 2003, and have been working with the Hug Lady just about that whole time. The use of these monies will be for hospital/health expences, assisted care when she leaves Metroplex, and God forbid, funeral expences if that time comes.
