It’s amazing how when one door closes another opens…

Within one month’s time, my family lost 3 members:  Aunt Sue, her husband, Uncle Paul and Grandpa John.  As difficult as it has been for all of us, nothing can compare to what my 3 cousins are experiencing.  They lost both parents after many years of hospitals and treatments for their mother’s Lymphoma Lukemia and their father’s Myasthenia Gravis (a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease).

As all this was happening, I became aware of a fantastic organization:  The Foundation for Community Betterment.  It began years ago in Washington D.C. and now has many chapters across the US.   Their Mission is to embrace and encourage philanthropic spirit:   “The Foundation for Community Betterment is a national organization dedicated to community enhancement by creating an immediate, positive impact on the lives of individuals or organizations that share our philanthropic vision, but who currently lack the means to succeed.”

Community Betterment’s Chicago Chapter is opening another door for my family.  My 3 cousins, The Lefebvre Family, Katie, Christopher and Steven,  have been chosen as the recipients of their next fundraiser on May 1st, Cinco de Mayo Fiesta at Easy Bar.  Proceeds will help provide some financial relief to a family who has been dealt more than their share of sickness and grief.
