Hi all,

By now you've heard the news: Ruth has breast cancer. We're making this page to corral the abundant support offers and questions we've been receiving. 

If you'd like to stay updated, you can sign up to have updates sent to you.

If you express love with words: Ruth would enjoy hearing from you via text or email, or you can send her a card, letter, photo, or print. Text for the address.

If you express love with acts of service: there is a meal train for the weeks following the surgery. We may also post about concrete ways to help in the coming days.

If you are someone who expresses love with gifts: Welcomed gifts include: excellent socks, local flowers. Monetary donations can also be sent to her address or venmo. Monetary donations will go to possible IVF treatment (which is not covered by insurance), David's moving and travel expenses and rent, lost wages from Ruth's cheesemonger job, surgery recovery supplies, as well as mastectomy bras or clothes after surgery. Also frozen treats, which have been helpful after depressing doctor's appointments. While appreciated, gift cards are not needed at this time. 

More updates to come as we get this page filled in with meal train and other support details. Thanks for being here.
