february community focus ~ lisa's army

After being diagnosed at age 20, amidst her own battle with ovarian cancer, Lisa Loonstyn-Golden launched a crusade in the name of fighters everywhere. She believed that no one should fight alone, so, with the help of her family and friends, Lisa’s Army was formed. It is an organization dedicated to comforting men, women and children with cancer. The goal of Lisa’s Army is to make a difference in the world just like Lisa was able to accomplish in her short time with us. Now, we continue to fight in her name, and invite you to join our Army!

Lisa’s Army supplies personalized Comfort Care Packages to individuals currently battling any type of cancer. The care packages are filled with an inspirational card, personal care items, an Apple iPad or BEATs Headphones, iTunes gift card, journals, pens and other items to make the patient’s treatment as comfortable as possible. This was the wish of Lisa who saw countless people in treatment with little support. Each of these packages is worth approximately $600 but is priceless to the recipient.
