    To get clarification, I called & spoke with Shifa (Irfan’s wife) today. His surgery is scheduled tomorrow, April 1 at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Carol Morris & Dr. Adam Levine, both Orthopedic Oncologists will be performing his surgery.

    I recommend approval of this funding request in the amount of $500.00.

    Please provide your comments/approval/disapproval by Monday, April 4, 2016.

    I am happy to award $500, if an immediate need we can put on the foundation card and they can deduct the expenses immediate. Do they need additional assistance in navigating the world of sarcoma.

    It would be nice if we had some type of literature about Finish Sarcoma to send with the check along with upcoming events.

      I’m so excited to be helping a patient!!!

      Nora, are you thinking a pamphlet type thing or flyer? I could try to make something and send it to you all to get your thoughts.

    Yes, I am thinking some sort of pamphlet or literature about what we do. Lisa or maybe Peggy, do you have something from previous years? I lost all my files on my computer in December when it crashed.

    I am also excited to be helping someone. I really like that she put exactly what their financial need is and how we can help them. It makes me happy that we can relieve the stress of money for lodging while they are dealing with his surgery, which is stressful enough. 😬
