Lister Sisters - Let's Help One

Please do not share this post outside of this site. thank you!
Carol Gould, one of our beautiful Lister Sisters, and Gentleman Jack loving friend is as strong as Anne Lister and Ann Walker...she has been living with stage 4 cancer and...as she puts it...“perpetual chemo”.
I read Carols FB posts daily and I’m in awe of her strength, character, and humor throughout this tough journey. I know we all want to help in some way, but we live all over the world and can’t assist how we would like. It would be easy if we lived in London and could fix Carol dinner, or drive her to and from doctor appointments….instead of her waiting for hours for transport home.
I decided to ask Carol if it was ok to start a crowdfunding page to assist her and make her journey just a little bit easier…I only know her as a GJ lover and FB friend…but felt compelled to reach out to her to ask.
Carol checked in with another Lister Sister to discuss and replied to me on FB messenger that we made her realize that "as a single women, sometimes one has to ask for help."
I believe it takes strength to say yes, and I am so pleased Carol did.
She continued "I've never asked for help before but am realising how hard it is to take care of myself without family or a partner. It would be wonderful to have some funds for an extra carer, house cleaning (I've not had the strength to Hoover in 3 months ) food delivery, and taxis to appointments that Patient Transport cannot fulfill with a firm. I wouldn't say no, as Ann said to Anne on the hilltop."
<I love the GJ reference>
I’ve started this campaign to ask the Lister Sisters/Misters from around the world, to join me in donating …to provide Carol with some funds to make the daily tasks in life a little easier….and also continue to provide positive and healing thoughts for her along the way!
As you know, Carol at one time was a hugely respected television drama executive but her string of illnesses, accident and heart attack in the past five years, including three years on her own of brutal chemo, have taken their toll; with our help she might even feel renewed enough to get back to being a productive human being again..
We are ListerSisterSTRONG!
Yours affectionately and ever faithfully Lister Sister,
Jo Little (aka AnneLister_AnnWalker)
