Teddy the barber...cancer and covid

Our barber, Ted Lafriniere, needs help. He would never ask for help himself, so here goes. Ted had been receiving chemo treatments over the last 18 months to fight off a form of lymphoma. At the  very end of his treatment cycle, when his body's immune system had nothing left, Ted contracted Covid-19.  Covid has destroyed his health and his ability to work and re-open the Headquarters Barbershop. He has seen several specialists, all of whom say that Covid has run its course and left him in dire physical shape. It will take many months of recuperating and healing to  get back on his feet. Covid is nasty and the effects are different for everyone who contracts it, but Ted got it at the worst possible time. He is hurting physically and needs the support of his friends and customers who have relied on him over the many years he has been in business downtown. To make matters worse, Teddy's shop was shut down frequently during the pandemic over the last 15 months. Please consider helping our friend and his family. Ted's wife, Janine, and daughters Andrea and Rachel, will be just as grateful for your support. Ted built relationships with so many of us as customers, so please help in any way you can.  If you have already reached out to Ted and his family, thank you!
