If you are looking for an opportunity to help a family that is truly in need for Christmas, I have just the family for you. The Foster's are our neighbors and friends and Chad is their home teacher. They have three young children (2 boys and a girl) and Charese (the mother) was just diagnosed with breast cancer. In the past month they have found out that it is now in her lungs, liver, lymph nodes and she has three tumors in her brain. She has been trying to fight it with Chemo and yesterday she went in for a special laser procedure to target the tumors in her brain. She was not allowed to be asleep for the procedure and she was also not allowed to move, so the doctors screwed a halo on her head to keep her stable. Charese's husband is a self-employed electrician and he has been taking off time at work (when he has work) to be with Charese. The prognosis for her cancer doesn't look great and their financial situation is bleak. If you would like to help their cause or read more about it you can go to fightingwithcharese.blogspot.com. As you can see from the picture below, she tries to be happy and optimistic.
