Tara Jeanne Creates Honey Hill Naturals


tara1
As you may or may not know, in March we wrote a blog on Tara, the 20-year-old who was fighting for her life after being diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma. Tara had an initial surgery to remove the mass and started her battle with this disease by using strictly alternative methods and eating a completely raw, organic diet. However, she has been forced to employ more traditional methods due to her tumor coming back and growing quite large.

 

Despite her unfortunate circumstances, Tara has been keeping an optimistic outlook on life and still has high ambitions with school, becoming self-sufficient, and traveling to Mexico for her brother’s upcoming wedding.  As her medical treatments have come with an outrageous price tag, Tara and her mom created a line of natural products called Honey Hill Naturals, which consists of sprays, hand soaps, and lip balms to help finance her recovery. More products are to be added soon and you can also get a #TARASTRONG bracelet on their product page.

 

Check out her natural goods below:

 

 Fine Mist Spray- $9

(choose Lavender, Lemon, or Clove’s Spray)

Honey Oatmeal Hand Soap- $3

(made with vegetable-based goats milk, organic honey, & organic oats)

Lip Balm- $4

tara4
(made with organic coconut oil, organic beeswax, & organic vanilla extract)
Not only will you have some fantastic (and natural!) products, but you will also be supporting an amazing, beautifully-spirited young woman who is trying her hardest to find the positive in her situation. It is so often that so many of us take for granted in our lives what others would give anything to have, even if it just means having a normal day. We cannot always put ourselves in another’s shoes in order to truly sympathize, but we can do our best to make sure those shoes are nice and comfy for the bumpy road ahead. Tara, we are sending you countless thoughts and prayers and will be supporting you endlessly on your journey.

 

If you have a moment, please check out Tara’s blog and also consider dropping off a donation that she can readily use for her treatment.

 

As always, Answers for Angels appreciates your support in supporting others.

Huge request for donations to AFA 5k


Hello,

As you know, AFA is having a 5k race on July 23, 2016 to raise funds for cancer patients.  We provide a grant to them for $350 for their use in paying for Joggerintegrative/alternative treatments, or for them to pay a bill in their name.  Some patients, including patients using conventional methods, ask for a gift card for a massage or to a grocery store to purchase organic foods.

Answers for Angels tentatively scheduled an interview at the ‘AFA 5k’ with Tara Hill, a young 20-year old Chicago girl, who is using alternative methods to heal Ewing Sarcoma.  We wish her well and send her all the love and support she needs to heal.

For the 5k, we are looking for donations of 8oz. water bottles, organic protein bars or fruit and nut bars, or bananas and oranges for the estimated 200 participants in the ‘AFA 5k’ race.  In addition, we need volunteers;  and sponsorship opportunities are available by clicking on the AFA 5k Sponsor Form.

I will notify you when registration opens up.  In the meantime, please advise if I can schedule a pickup of your donation in the Chicago-land area or if you would like to volunteer.

Thank you and take care,

Katie Davis

Donations, please! We could use your support!


Our year-end campaign ‘Spotlight on our Giving Christmas Tree’ is ending soon but you still have a chance to help by donating before December 31st.

At Answers for Angels, we’re proud of the role we play in a cancer patient’s life. (View a testimonial from Vicki O. from Washington who has esophageal cancer and read how our role helped her.) Working together, we can help pay for a bill in a patient’s name to help makes ends meet; we can pay for supplements and shots which is not covered by insurance, etc.; all by supporting their choice of treatment, on their terms, with a less toxic method and an excellent quality of life with the love and support from you.

We hope you’ll consider making a special year-end gift today. Every gift matters, especially yours. Please consider donating just $5 to $10 as we work every day to assist cancer patients. You can make our goal of $350 happen by spreading our message to your family and friends now, before December 31st.  We only need $110 more.

Help us reach our goal by spreading our message to family and friends.


Do you want to contribute to someone’s well-being and healing of his or her body from cancer? You can, by supporting our cause and donating just $10 – $15 to our year-end campaign ‘Spotlight on our Giving Christmas Tree’.  We’re so close to reaching our goal of $350.

We’re proud of the support we provide to cancer patients who are in urgent need of help with their finances. We received a grant application from a woman in a nearby suburb who is single, self-supportive, and with no caregiver to help her. She went through 4 cycles of chemo plus 6 weeks of radiation. With these additional bills and TRYING to get back to work, it’s putting a lot of stress on her. Unfortunately, she remains off work and she has exceeded family leave time off due to treatments, side effects, fatigue, etc. She has relied on family, friends, and church for support during this medical crisis. Her insurance has very high deductibles and she had to purchase many massages ordered by her doctor; massages are not covered by insurance.

Answers for Angels were there to help her with a gift certificate for a massage to alleviate the pain that she’s suffering due to the treatment that she’s receiving. We also helped her by providing a gift card to her local grocery store so that she will have food on her table. We can do much more for her, but we need your help. Every gift matters, especially yours.

We know that times are hard especially with the holidays upon us. However, need knows no holiday. Every day, there are still so many people that are being diagnosed with cancer, and we’ve made it our mission to help as many as we can before the year ends.

By supporting our cause and donating just $10 – $15 to our year-end campaign ‘Spotlight on our Giving Christmas Tree’, you’ll help patients manage their pain from treatment and help them put food on their table.

For every $100 Answers for Angels receive,The spotlight is on the tree,Donate & We'll Decoratewith ornaments & candy!!
we’ll decorate a row of branches on the tree!
We know how deeply you care,
Because we are practically there!

Please make your tax-deductible gift today! Your donation will allow us to help one more cancer patient.

Thank you and Merry Christmas,

Katie Davis, President
