Our friend ,Jeannie Barroga, and her husband Tony recently retired to Hawaii. Their lives have since turned upside down. Jeannie has been diagnosed with a rare and High Risk malignant tumor. She has been travelling to the Mayo Clinic to receive the expertise and care she needs for this uncommon cancer.
As many of you know, Jeannie is a well-known and respected playwright and author. She has devoted her life to the arts and bringing powerful Filipino American stories to light. Her husband ,Tony, has similarly devoted his life to a noble cause, having worked for decades at The Marine Mammal Center in California, which is a rehabilitation hospital for marine mammals.
Getting the care Jeannie needs will come at significant personal cost. We have started this GoFundMe in the hopes of raising funds to support them with the extensive costs that are compounding the immense pressure and difficulty of this diagnosis. Jeannie is kind, spirited, a champion of the arts and has touched the lives of many. Any donations are deeply appreciated and will help keep Jeannie with us for as long as possible.
Jeannie, Tony, and GoFundMe support crew Sophie and Dave
