HELP JEANNE STAY HEALTHY
This year a brilliant surgeon, Dr. Andresz Busczowski, helped Jeanne
Robinson beat back a rare and virulent form of biliary cancer. But
it's so rare even he can't say how much time he's bought her, how
soon it might recur. For technical reasons she is not a candidate for
either radiation or chemo. Her only hope for longterm survival is
therefore to reboot and reinvigorate her failed immune system. She
needs special therapies and meds, extensive diet and lifestyle
changes, and a stress level as close to zero as possible. All those
are expensive, none are covered by even Canada's excellent medical
care...and like many artists today the Robinsons were already running
on fumes financially.
But Jeanne, a Soto Zen monk, has been spreading love and kindness in
all directions for a long time. So her Buddhist sangha in Vancouver,
her neighbors on Bowen Island, and friends as far away as Florida
have all spontaneously come together to raise funds to help keep her
around as long as possible. Your participation is welcomed. A Bowen
benefit concert, "WE DREAM FOR JEANNE," will be held at Cates Hill
Chapel at 7:30 PM on Friday Sept 18 details here; cheques may be made
out to Jeanne Robinson in Trust and sent to Mountain Rain Zen Center,
6183 Fraser St. Vancouver, BC V5W 2Z9; goods or services can be
donated for eBay auction by contacting Jan Schroeder at
<dreamfo...@aol.com>, and PayPal donations can be sent to
<http://wedreamforjeanne.blogspot.com/>.
Jeanne and Spider both warmly appreciate your help, support, prayers
or just good thoughts.
