Dear Friends,

We're reaching out to let you know that we are kicking off a campaign to help Amanda Garza and her family, and we need your help!

You may have heard that Amanda was recently diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, a rare type of cancer. The treatment Amanda will undergo will be aggressive, requiring multiple in-patient chemotherapy treatments, followed by a tumor removal surgery. This is not going to be easy but of course Amanda is entering this challenge with a smile and determination.

Due to this intense treatment plan, Amanda has had to put her pet care business, AJs Pet Care on hold. We know this hurts her heart and was a very hard decision and of course, our fur babies will miss her dearly during this time!

Amanda and her family need our support for medical bills, related travel and housing expenses and funding while she's out of work to care for her horses and family pets that are all dear to our hearts. We can't cure Amanda ourselves, but we can come together to help ease the financial burden and resultant stress that the family is facing.

She has been paying for egg retrieval to preserve the possibility of becoming a parent, and her support network will need help with travel expenses and hotel costs for her many weeks of treatment up at Stanford.

The current goal is to raise $30,000 - every bit helps!

Two ways to donate, both go directly to Amanda. Venmo has zero fees and the Donate Now link with a cc charges a 2.9% fee (just FYI).

Via Venmo: directly to Amanda (no fees, 100% of gift amount goes to family): @Amanda-Garza-20806
