Dear friends,
We in Coronado have been blessed to have Mrs. Karien Bennett as our neighbor and friend for over 20 years. She has raised two daughters here (both graduates of Coronado High School) and is raising Austin, a wonderful 11-year-old boy. Karien is active in the community and in the schools; she is always the first to extend a hand to anyone in need. All who know her admire her for her kindness, generosity, and selflessness.
Now, Karien needs our help. Her 29-year old daughter, Lecinda, has been diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor called a Glioma. Like others affected by the current economy, Lecinda does not have full coverage health insurance. She is facing a mounting health care bill that will continue to grow as she prepares for upcoming surgery and treatments. The costs incurred for medical care have already overwhelmed the resources of this family.
Our wonderful community has several exciting fundraiser planned for this month with more to follow in the upcoming months.
BE Styled 1113 Adella Avenue in Coronado. Thursday, Sept. 9th and Friday, Sept.10th from 10am -6pm. BE Styled will generously donate 20% of the sales during those two days to care4Lecinda. BE Styled is filled with unique clothes, accessories,and gifts. Get a glimpse at www.bestyledstudion.com . Prices are very reasonable!
everyone at NADOLIFE, especially to David & Jennie Spatafore.
Il Fornaio Coronado Join Lecinda and her family for a happy hour at Il Fornaio on Sept 21st from 4:30pm-6:30pm. We will have a raffle and silent auction. Some items donated so far include a bike and bike rental from Holland’s Bike Shop, a photography package from Just Hatched Photography, jewelry, hair cut from Sarah Torey and much more!
If you’d like more information about Lecinda’s story, please visit her website at www.caringbridge.org/visit/lecindabennett. Lecinda visits the site frequently and is uplifted by the words of encouragement left in the guestbook.
Thank you,
