Help Allison Krakoff with Stage 4 Cancer expenses

Hi All, My name is Beth Appleyard and I'm raising money to help support my friend Allison during a very challenging time. Allison and I have been close friends for 25 years, half my life. She is like a sister to me. She brings out my silly side and I love to make her laugh. She is my daughter's godmother and I am her son's godmother; we've celebrated together during our best of times and seen each other through our most difficult challenges. This is one of those most difficult challenges. Allison has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroendocrine Cancer. Over the last 2+ years, she has been in and out of the hospital with serious health issues including a few surgeries, but the cancer was not discovered until a few weeks ago. It's surreal. We are exploring all resources to support Allison and Jake. In the meantime, household and medical expenses are piling up. She does not have any investments or savings to draw from and she does not have any family. It's just her and Jake. Allison needs emotional and financial support. I'm asking people to donate whatever they can. Donations will be used to pay for rent, utilities, food, and transportation. I sincerely thank you for reading and for considering making a donation. Best, Beth
