I’ve been a little anxious about this day for awhile. My first time at my new hospital getting labs and a shot! It’s not easy to make a change. It’s difficult to trust new people. It’s overwhelming to walk into a foreign place. Then I saw THIS! @lipstickangels ! I’m blown away! @emilystollman is a gift for anyone going through any treatment. They provide facials, massages and other beauty treatments to patients while here! I told her I didn’t want to take away from anyone going through treatment and she said I had been through it so just enjoy it! So while I was here and upset to be here….and then to continue at an appointment at MSKCC as I do for follow up with so many of my doctors in January….this was a great way to start it off! Remember to make your appointments and follow up!!!!!”
“And so it begins! Thanks to all the people who stopped by this morning (Aliza, Jeanette, Sara & Jeff, Helen, Erika, Andrew, another Andrew, Jackie, Bert, Vicki, Stefanie & Renee, Glen, Martha and the many, many others who stopped in – too many to name! – from all over town) to drop off tons of clothes (and one purple coffee maker) for our MLK Day Clothing Drive & Community Breakfast. Here’s a photo of just a very few of the things. We’ll be collecting M-F, 9-5, and Saturday, Jan 12 and 19 (9-11). 6111 Melrose, LA. We’re taking new and gently-used clothes of all kinds. Socks and underwear gotta be new. And if you want to sign up to help on MLK Day (1/21), sign up here: https://bigsunday.org/get-involved/mlkday/. BTW: This event is sponsored by Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary and Wilshire Rotary Club of Los Angeles. If you’d like to be a sponsor, too, awesome! Please contact info@bigsunday.org. And of. course, feel free to share!”
