I (Jess) spoke with Josh this morning to get an update on their needs to make sure they are getting exactly what they need when they need it. Two items that were mentioned are changes to the meals and fundraising needs.
DIETARY CHANGES:
As we get closer to treatments, Dana's diet is going to be a critical piece to keeping her body in top condition to focus on fighting this. Research shows that focusing on a plant-rich, balanced diet protect cells from damage. Moving forward, her medical team has recommended focusing on this type of diet, leaning into the Mediterranean Diet and/or Keto.
Key components include:

Key components include:
- Fruits + Vegetables
- leafy greens + cruciferous vegetables
- brightly colored vegetables, such as tomatoes, carrots, and bell peppers
- berries and dark purple fruits
- Legumes, Nuts, and Seeds
- Whole Grains - brown rice, oats, and quinoa
- Lean Proteins - beans, fish, and poultry
- Low-fat dairy
- No added sugar
If you've signed up for a meal, THANK YOU!!! We hope that you're able to make this adjustment in the meals you have planned to bring.
FUNDRAISING:
While they're still uncertain what their insurance will and will not cover regarding treatments and any clinical trials, there are out of pocket maximums that need to be met and covered. If you've donated already, THANK YOU. As far as the money I've been collecting in Venmo for cleaners, they've requested that the funds are redirected to help there. I'm being slightly stubborn and going to pay for the two cleanings this month so they can focus on appointments and healing, but will transfer the balance to them so they have it to use for bills that come up. I will be sure to show that payment publicly.
