More remembrances of David.

Lori is a fellow ASJA member and single mom battling ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and chronic Lyme disease. She faces the loss of her home to foreclosure within days because she’s too sick to work. She has medical bills totaling more than $50,000, which may ultimately reach $120,000.

She has a seven-year-old son, and prior to the devastating neurological disease that has left her paralyzed and on a breathing machine, wrote over 3,000 published articles. She is 44, and determined to fight this disease with all her strength.

A fundraising drive is on to help her save her house. If everyone donated $25 to help her, it could get done. Click here to learn more. Or send a check to:
