“Colette”

The Leigh Sakoda Foundation celebrated Thanksgiving by making a very important grant to a 39 year old diagnosed with a rare sarcoma. This is the second time the Leigh Sakoda Foundation has provided a grant, as this is the patient’s fifth relapse of an intra-abdominal cancer that has required multiple surgeries and rounds of chemotherapy. She is the mother of 3 children, one of whom has a learning disability and one of whom struggles with mental illness. She does everything she can to pay all of her medical expenses while supporting the family.
