Help a Girl Out!

Well, hello everyone! Laura has made me, Lindsay, an admin on her blog site as well, so sometimes you’ll also be getting to hear from me too – this is a dangerous proposition, but if y’all get tired of me, I’m sure she’ll take that power away. Some of you may not know me, and for those that don’t, I’m the New Jersey bestie, Auntie Lindsay to the kids, and also known as Laura’s “twinsie” to many of our legal marketing colleagues.

Laura will be keeping you all up to date on the medical side and how she’s feeling, and I’m helping with managing her care and what the family needs, so the Toledos can focus on her getting better. Many of you have already offered to help or are helping and the outpouring has been AMAZING – truly, even I cry just thinking about it. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and please know that we’ll be calling on all of you (I’m a runner, so also be prepared for me to make a lot of running references).

A lot of you have seen my FB request to fill out this form, so that I have your contact information and “superpowers” in one place and a HUGE thanks to everyone who has filled this out already. If you’re following along here, please take a moment to fill it out if you haven’t yet. As a reminder, your “superpower” is the way that you feel you are best able to share your support – we each have our strengths and this will take a village, so everyone’s strengths are valuable and necessary, however big or small.

Another awesome friend of Laura’s, Kevin, has started a GoFundMe for any out-of-pocket medical costs, transportation, meals, etc. that may come up as a result of her treatment. Again, many of you have already been incredibly generous with donating to this. I know that it’s not within everyone’s power to donate (which is why we all have our own superpowers). So please donate if you can, and if not, we know that there are other ways you’ll be supporting her.
