“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
It is with heavy minds and hopeful hearts that we ask you all for help. Our oldest brother, Roger Jr., was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. This disease presented and progressed quickly and forcefully. The prognosis is grim and we are racing against the clock but he is up for the battle to live and we are in the throes of helping him do just that. His wife, our beloved Masha, is holding strong for her partner as the rest of us hold strong for them both. Roger is determined to fight; while he fights, we fight.
On paper, Roger Jr. is "half-brother" to some of us, but there is nothing ‘half’ about him to any of us. He is full love, full light, full joy, full optimism…full life. He betters our lives every day by simply being present in them. His thoughtfulness, compassion, grace, and ability to make people feel safe around him surpasses well beyond our ability to accept such love. We do not want him to be forced to worry about the exorbitant healthcare costs so we are asking for your support so that he can focus his energy on his well-being.
Thank you and much love,
The Lanoue and Goltsova Families
