Friends, I don't often ask for contributions to a cause, but I'm on the Board of Directors of The Hold You Foundation, and the this cause is very dear to my heart, so I am here to ask, to beg if needed, for your support.

Please sponsor my ride in HoldYou Foundation's "Fly for Families Fundraiser!" I'm riding with the HoldYou Team to raise critical funds for families who are struggling with financial hardship as a result of their child's diagnosis with a life-threatening illness or injury. Last year, HoldYou stepped in to provide immediate support to 46 families who faced work disruption, increased expenses and decreased income while their children received treatment. HoldYou holds families by lifting their financial burdens by assuring their urgent basic needs are met, so they can focus on what matters most -- holding and healing-- their child. Together, with your help, we can do even more!

Please help me raise the funds needed to help these families. Too often a parent is forced to choose between keeping their job or being at their child's bedside when the child needs them most. We help with rent, the utility bill, gas, bus passes to get to/from the hospital, groceries for the family still at home .... we do our best to ease the burden of losing your income when you choose to be at your child's side as they face life threatening illness or injury.

Isabella's Story

At just 2 years old, Isabella was diagnosed in September 2016 with Medulloblastoma. She immediately began intensive chemotherapy treatment at Mattel UCLA Children's Hospital for her malignant brain tumor. Isabella is currently hospitalized for minimum of one month as she receives additional chemotherapy treatment prior to undergoing a stem cell transplant.

Little Isabella has endured more struggles and has shown for more courage than most adults do in a lifetime. With two other young children to care for and just one car between them, Isabella's parents do their best to provide her with all the loving support she deserves, but when faced with financial hardship due to loss of income and increased expenses needed urgent support. HoldYou stepped in to provid urgent resources for rent to ensure that Isabella's mother could remain by her side at the hospital and that her father could still visit her on weekends.
