Get Sherri To The Seahawk Game

Donation protected
FINAL OUTCOME: Sherri went to the game and had a great time. Thank you to one and all!

THANK YOU EVERYONE! Sherri's son in Arizona heard about our efforts and got her tickets in the handicapped seating at the 50 yard line! We hope to repay him for some of his costs, but please know your donation is no longer required to get Sherri to the game. The outpouring of love and generosity has been overwhelming and Sherri is blessed indeed!


Sherri is living on borrowed time. Doctors told her decades ago that the scleoderma and its many complications would take her soon. That’s when she signed over her house over to her longtime live-in boyfriend, Jim. She wanted to ensure he could stay in their home after she died.

But Sherri’s got spunk. She’s outlasted all the predictions with grace and humor despite constant challenge. When Jim died unexpectedly two years ago, Sherri was shocked to discover that Jim had secretly mortgaged their home, leaving her with payments she cannot make.

In a few months Sherri will beg a judge to let her live out her remaining days in her home. Her body is giving out on her and she won’t be around too much longer. She is in kidney failure, severely anemic, her lungs are giving out – it’s a wonder she’s still here.

Everyone who knows this woman knows she lives and breathes Seahawks. But she’s never been to a game. She is a beloved neighbor who has given much to our little community over the last forty-plus years. She singlehandedly raised money buy American flags for our main street. She was an active member of the Firefighters Auxiliary. She’s outspoken, kind and living on a very limited income.

I want to invite anyone (Seahawk player or organization, season ticketholder, anyone) to help us get Sherri and an assistant to the next playoff game. She deserves this. We can’t make it happen on our own. Help us give back to a lady who has given so much.

We will need two tickets since Sherri can only walk a short distance and will need help. Thank you for your  help!
