Roger #44Strong
Donation protected
Many people have asked and reached out for a platform to help while Roger navigates stage 4 colon cancer surgery, chemo/radiation, iron infusions, recovery, and life in general. As you know, Roger’s insurance isn’t covering everything. Roger would never ask but we would like to ask our village, our tribe, our community for help, any way you can.
We will also be holding a garage sale on August 12th and 13th. Please reach out to Melissa Lee on further details.
“It takes a village to care for those who grow old in our midst. It takes a village to welcome and to include the newcomers. It takes a village to care for the fragile and vulnerable among us. It takes a village to help couples find their way through the challenges of life. It takes a village to dance in our moments of joy. It takes a village to stand shoulder to shoulder with us in times of need holding us up when we can not stand up on our own. By and large, I think we have forgotten this and we are paying the price. Our sense of community…
Our sense of responsibility towards one another…
Our sense of caring for one another…
Has been pushed it aside in favor of the myth of rugged individualism. That I can do it all on my own. That I am responsible for myself and for no one else.
That my own strength and willpower and hard work is enough. But none of that is true. It just is not…”
