Help Shannon Gaines Bowman with Medical Costs
Donation protected
Shannon Gaines Bowman visited her doctor on Thursday, January 7th after experiencing abdominal pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. The following day, she was officially diagnosed with Stage IV cancer.
The funds will go directly to Shannon and her husband Rich to cover medical costs and upcoming treatments. As self-employed artists, their insurance is through the ACA and deductibles are high. We are grateful for any amount you can donate at this time so Shannon and her family can focus on her health vs. worrying about medical bills (especially during a pandemic). We think we can all agree, fuck 2020/2021!
In the past year, Shannon retired from a 25 year career at Hallmark and has been focusing on her art and serving as admin of her Facebook community, Hardcore KC Foodies. With a rich history of community building, leadership, and fostering connection, we know her impact is felt far and wide.
Shannon is so many things to each of us.
Shannon is:
An infectious laugh that fills a room.
A steaming bowl of slow cooked ramen that she has lovingly prepared for you from scratch over a period of days.
A fuzzy monster hat.
A love pile of tiny dogs.
A beaded dildo.
The most delicious cocktail you've ever tasted.
A sparkly, reclaimed piece of jewelry.
A bloody, creepy, spooky, zombie horror movie.
The smell of garlic.
A spider tattoo.
The 80's.
The word "FUCK!"
A Taurus.
Every true crime story ever.
A morning coffee selfie that starts your day.
Nerdy-ass video games.
Big-ass puzzles.
A pair of chuck Taylors.
Halloween & Christmas decorations that stay up an extra 6 months because rules are meant to be broken.
A mother, wife, sister, best friend, artist, and community leader.
Our family is immensely grateful for your support and will provide updates as we have them!
